We actually have people in here arguing that SC is representative if the democratic coalition? African american votes are crucial, but they don't make up anywhere bear 60 percent of the democratic coalition. South Carolina is also dominated by older voters. It'a important, every state is, but Even Obama's winning coalition didn't remotely resemble South Carolina's demographically.

At the Bernie rally in LA, people are asking for photos since I’m wearing this shirt:



Sonic, endorse Bernie already.

I hear Chapo all the time on these boards, are you guys talking El Chapo Guzman?
Assuming you are actually asking :) It's a political comedy podcast called Chapo Trap House. Their politics are to the left of most media and their humor is very online. Rose out of the 2016 election basically. They are rude to people they dislike. Usually far right and centrist folks. Sometimes to liberals who would consider themselves leftists too. This "rudeness" and anger is where most criticism comes from. Sometimes you will get legit criticism from people in good faith for some off color thing someone on the podcast has said. About as much as you would expect from a comedy podcast.

that sounds really niche and annoying sounding ,
attacking vanilla liberals because they are not left enough is stupid shit

Bernie is Stannis. The man is pure iron, he'll break before he bends.

Warren is Renly, she should have gotten out of the way and supported the one true king/president.

Trump is Joffrey, obviously .

Mitch is Tywin, the real power in Washington.

Jay Inslee is Jon Snow, the only guy focused on the biggest threat to humanity.

Beto is Robb Stark (cut down before his time).

Obama is Robert Baratheon. Maybe not the greatest leader but definitely a massive step above his successor. He got out of the game right as the shit hit the fan.

Good side: yay pete is out

bad side: oh fuck where are his voters going
Polling indicates a pretty even split. Alot of nb his younger voters probably go to Bernie, Older to Biden, White Collar to Warren. Probably a net win for Warren, who really needs every voter she can get to qualify for delegates.

Yep, the party is making their move now to coalesce around Biden. Pete was definitely pressured to drop. He was literally doing the Sunday Shows today about his plan to continue onward.

Pete and Steyer being out means good things for Warren and Biden heading into California especially.

Oh shit. This is definitely a tactical move of some kind. No reason he couldn’t wait 2 more days to see how ST shook out for him, being in 3rd place delegate-wise. This is very, very interesting.

I know the polls don’t necessarily say this, but I gotta think this helps Biden in the margins.

Wow, I genuinely did not expect Buttigieg dropping.



If true, that's NOT a nothingburger. It likely means he already reached an arrangement with Bloomberg or Biden.
Need those delicious details.
