I was gonna make a dark humor joke about how his chances ride of Biden getting the coronavirus, but then it immediately became unfunny to me, because I realize it should be a legit concern. Biden, Sanders, and Trump are right in the demographic of concern for this thing--none are over 80 yet, but the over 80 death rate is nearly 15% (although the ones that do die likely have other health issues that have weakened their immune system, so I don't think the risk would be that high for these candidates). But this brings me back to my paranoia about their health. I don't think I'm being crazy to think it could happen. Biden especially is very touchy-feelie. He shakes tons of hands. I hope/assume that behavior will be curtailed now.Comment

saw another interesting stat
70% of voters over 45 support Biden
45% of voter under 45 support Sanders
I just don't see a path for Bernie at this point.---------------------------------------------

If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

7/8 Biden wins more than half the pledged delegates
19/20 he wins a plurality of the delegates
And Nate's article explaining it...

That is a good point. People under 45 are much more likely to get news from online. Older folks mostly read the paper and watch tv.Comment

reading DMT's post last night, thinking about how older voters favor Biden, the poll from Florida ….I hate to say it but Bernie is in trouble. I just don't see how his message can reach these people and change their minds. I just can't imagine what he can do to win.---------------------------------------------

Anyone catch Warren's interview with Maddow. She was super pissed at Bernie's online army, and their attacks on her and anyone that supported her over Bernie. Here is an article about it.

Personally I don't let a bunch of assholes online change my belief that everyone should have healthcare or that we should have Democrats with better policies.---------------------------------------------

It seems obvious to me that if you represent people who feel the current system is not working for them that some of them will be angry. I dont think that is a valid reason to discount Sanders, but clearly the democratic party thinks it is since they use it to attack him. Maybe they should just appeal and represent people who have good manners---------------------------------------------

You want to tell me... when you literally ran a campaign of "I'm with Bernie"... who has said nothing to smear you personally despite your constant shit-flinging in his direction... you mean to tell me that people shouldn't support him because... MEAN TWEETS?! That instead, they should support Joe Biden, who you previously stated that you entered politics specifically to oppose him?.... that people should support him instead, who holds none of your supposed policy positions today, because... mean tweets...
Puh-leaze.... phony lying fauxgressive, knifing Sanders from the perch of his coattails. I could tell from her weasel words that she was going to abandon M4A, and lying about basically everything. Pathetic. This is the type of plan she has to get progressive policies passed? No. Not buying it.
I encourage any of Warren's supporters to try and defend this horseshit.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment
