So you'll be visiting China soon I take it?

I mean, since there's nothing to worry about, after all. Visiting China would really stick it to the libs.

Oh, I think I forgot to comment on it at the time because I wasn't around or was busy or whatever but even though I think most of the anti-Warren swipes in here are absolute nonsense I do 100% agree it's legitimately disappointing to see her caving and accepting that SuperPAC's help.

Yeah, yeah, I know they can't coordinate so she can't control them but AFAIK she hasn't disavowed them and told them to back off or anything. IIRC her explanation was that there's so much money puring into the race from other PACs + Bloomberg but still ugh not like this warren. =(

So IEM Katowice (usually the biggest esports tournament in the IEM series every year) has been closed to the public over coronavirus concerns. Usually draws massive crowds.

https://www.hltv.org/news/29153/iem-katowice-playoffs-to-be-played-without-audience-due-to-coronavirus-concerns

This was announced like the day the tournament started, so people who travelled to Poland for the tournament had already checked into their hotels. Reddit is filled with posts like

How would getting expelled prevent you from graduating high school, exactly?

Getting expelled just causes you to transfer schools. (The idea is maybe a kid falls in with a bad crowd who is a bad influence on them, and maybe at another school you'll be better behaved because you won't have the same friend group).

What if you can't get to another school? Most people I knew that were expelled waited til they were no longer expelled to go back to the same school. Losing usually a year in the process unless the school let them do the work outside of school.

Didn't...that already happen?

I thought the whole point was America pulled out of Iraq, and the power vacuum from pulling out allowed ISIS to form.

It was one of Trump's actually good lines from the debate in 2016. "We shouldn't have gone into Iraq when we did, and we shouldn't have pulled out of Iraq when we did."

That's probably why Obama didn't do it. He was afraid of bad publicity. Luckily now we have a President who isn't afraid of criticism and knows to accept failure when we've been beat.

Its likely nothing in that statement was untrue and plenty of Dems distanced themselves from Obama as well.

Prepping? I've been here! Unless we get turnout that shows an inspired voterbase, Trump is going to be President until 2024.

The Dem leadership who would do literally anything to stop Bernie 100% want Trump over him, because with Trump in charge they stay relevant. On the other hand, if Bernie takes over the party, Democratic voters might realize how irrelevant the current leadership actually is.

These people were falling over themselves to get Bernie to play nice and repeat over and over that he would support the nominee whoever it is, and now they BARELY bother to hide their disgust with him when they go on TV.

Because they figured out that whatever they do will hurt them. Also, they are still deluding themselves into thinking they have a significant chance of winning with a non-Bernie candidate, so they don't want to risk damaging that candidate in the general.

Last year all the way up to January they were basically hammering Bernie every single day that he needed to pledge to support the nominee, not be mean, not attack anyone else, give it up to Biden, etc.

But as soon as Bernie took the lead, all of those rules went out the window. How many times have we seen a report that they're secretly discussing Michelle Obama/Sharrod Brown/*cough*Bloomberg*cough*/literally anyone else jumping into the race to stop Bernie?

Keep in mind, this ENTIRE TIME, Bernie has polled the best or a close second in matchups against Trump in the general. If they were really so concerned about Trump, they would be supporting this guy without reservation, or at least GENUINELY staying out of the way.

But they're not.

There was also no evidence against President Trump at his trial. The Senate heard no witnesses, ergo there was no evidence.

It's an old strategy. Throw out all the evidence I don't like and then proclaim there's no evidence.

But god is is demoralizing to see people who follow the polls SO SO closely when it's good new for Biden turn around and say Bernie can't win.

Like yes, I'M not hopeful, but I also don't think Biden will win either.

If you think Biden can win because of the polling, you must believe Bernie can too.

I agree that a lot of them don't like Bernie. I'm saying that there's "no evidence whatsoever" that any significant fraction of elected Dems would prefer Trump be reelected.

I don't think that Bernie can't win. I think he's both less likely to win than Joe Biden and would be a worse president (though, as I've repeatedly stated, considerably better than Trump).

But they're not.

The reality is they're doing both. There are DNC members playing damage control but they're unsure and unfocused unlike the anti-Bernie faction but as a whole they dont know what the fuck to do.

It's basically my only hope for Bernie at a contested convention, that he can take advantage of the confusion and make a few concessions to win enough people over.
