@jegga When is Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke going to drop out? One comedian joked that he'll soon be reduced to reading out the Taco Bell menu in an affected accent when he's on stage.
Probably the moment he gets a book deal. Then cafe and diner owners everywhere will breath a sigh of relief knowing he won't suddenly arrive and give a weird impromptu speech like Rick from the walking dead while standing on their tables or counter tops.

An hour ago.

It is a crying shame. There were still plenty more lol moments ahead. Did Trump even bother to tweet about his criminal history?

@Salacious-Crumb I wonder what that lack of Democrat money has to do with recent " no political ads" on social media stirrings? Dunno, timing seems odd

Will Beto merch ever be worth anything? Will hipsters wear it ironically?

So pathetic. Shows you how contrived and phoney political campaigns are.

Yep.
I just saw this comment on youtube "Hillary Clinton is shocked that Ronan Farrow committed suicide next week".

While my colleagues and I are progressive on social issues, as researchers, we have to put aside our personal biases and render advice based on the best available empirical evidence. To examine the acceptance of “Latinx” our firm conducted a nationwide poll of Latinos using a 508-person sample that is demographically representative of Census figures, yielding a ± 5% margin of error with a 95% confidence interval.
We presented our respondents with seven of the most common terms used to describe Latinos and asked them to select the one that best describes them. When it came to “Latinx,” there was near unanimity. Despite its usage by academics and cultural influencers, 98% of Latinos prefer other terms to describe their ethnicity. Only 2% of our respondents said the label accurately describes them, making it the least popular ethnic label among Latinos.

@Tim this was linked at the bottom of the article, is this a parody article that snuck through? I mean an article about Nazi my little pony fans that mentions the Christchurch massacre?

I'm sure members of The_Donald and 4chan are already infiltrating. This could be glorious.

It was noticeable months ago that the Dem media was going after Biden. Thats continued (see Axelrod recently)
I thought that was a sign they were comfortable with Warren.. then the same thing started happening to her over the last two weeks.
Criticisms of her health care plan, how its funded, wealth tax and general attacks her avoiding questionsBut that could've happened at any time? Those plans have existed for months
So why now?
Oh it seems Bloomberg is getting into the race
The rumours about him early in the year was that he didn't want to run but wanted to be VP and financially support another candidate.
I guess there was no one he wanted to support?If he does fully get in, it will be one Centrist Dem vs several Progressive Dems for the rest of the primaries. He might pull it off the same way Trump did, the others are fighting for the same votes.

@Duluth Something odd is going on alright though it could just be really appalling candidates doing stupid things. Surely Hillary won't run again....surely.....
Oh please god let her run again .
Please .

@jegga said in US Politics:
do you think Kamala “ top tier candidate” Harris was the one the dems really wanted?
It's obvious when the media are pushing/attacking someone isn't it? Kamala was pushed for a month then she reacted poorly to Tulsi and the media support vanished
I think they've mostly been supporting Warren though. Well, they were until very recently
