2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Shrillland]

Polls are now closed in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Isn't Omar in a tough primary fight by what I hear? She appears to be the most vulnerable of "The Squad" members.

If being ahead by about 30 points in the latest polls is vulnerable, then you could say so.

[Cordel One]

It hurt typing this one out

Bloomberg: Kamala Harris Is Now the Democratic Mainstream

I never expected Biden to pick someone cool and evidently I was right not to. It makes me happier with my decision to back Howie.

[Cisairse]

[Dresderstan]

Yeah sorry Shrill but I'm making an call for this

GOP GA-14 Runoff: Marjorie Greene

[Uiiop]

Polls are now closed in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Isn't Omar in a tough primary fight by what I hear? She appears to be the most vulnerable of "The Squad" members.

pretty sure the hard part was Tlaib's and Markey's primary fight.

[Shrillland]

Aye, I'll add it.

Dem GA-1 Runoff(Savannah): Joyce Griggs
GOP GA-14 Runoff(Rome-Dalton): Marjorie Taylor Greene

[Zurkerx]

Isn't Omar in a tough primary fight by what I hear? She appears to be the most vulnerable of "The Squad" members.

If being ahead by about 30 points in the latest polls is vulnerable, then you could say so.

Well then, she'll be fine.

Totally accurate.

pretty sure the hard part was Tlaib's and Markey's primary fight.

Markey seems to be the most vulnerable based on a few polls I've seen: support between him and Kennedy has been going back-and-forth. That would be an upset should Markey lose.

I hope Republicans are happy this utter lunatic and racist will be in their caucus come January

The Democratic mainstream is now everything that the Democratic Party claims to be against.

You can't make this shit up...

They aren't. The national party wanted Cowan to win, but they didn't do much besides make endorsements, and I think it's because Trump refused to change his mind on her.

Stop trying to paint Republicans as happy about this, it's fucking annoying and obnoxious.

Doesn't matter now. She is going to win in November and by a very wide margin, Republican primary voters seem intent on nominating whomever is most insane

You act as if it was 100% deliberate and all of them wanted it.

But national political parties are a hivemind!

Just ask the Bernie Bros...

So? What point are you fucking trying to make?

[San Lumen]

A decent margin apparently did.

So? What point are you fucking trying to make?

That the crazies are taking over the party and are outvoting the non crazies

[The Rich Port]

So? What point are you fucking trying to make?

Nobody wants it but it's still happening and nobody is against it on that side.

Say what you will about us at least I/we wrote strongly worded letters to the Biden campaign about how fucking retarded he is.
