My city's on lockdown starting tomorrow due to coronavirus but I'll still be working because one of my jobs is considered essential but I can't even get $15 an hour lmaooo how's that work???

I relate! I'm a courtesy clerk at a grocery store, so my job will definitely survive this pandemic and is more hectic than it's ever been before because every single day is now a worse-than-Thanksgiving-grade run for shit sakes...and I'm still making $9.39 an hour despite doing like five times my normal daily workload. This crisis is the best thing that ever happened to Albersons financially and yet all it's gotten me so far is a ton more work for no extra money.

"I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis," Sanders told CNN's Manu Raju. "Right now, I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?"

Sanders dropped an F-bomb.

Video?



Wow, I can't believe Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Joe Biden. I mean, WTH? Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised since even Yang did it a short while ago. Everyone in politics just loves doing 180's.

Now that's she's endorsed Joe Biden, according to the centrists and neolibs, she ain't a Russian asset anymore. Funny how that works... Guess you're only a Russian asset if you don't conform to the elites...

Still don't like her though, she's completely toxic.

I just think it's really stupid of her. It's not like Biden is going to consider her for his cabinet. She's basically throwing her supporters as well as her supposed ideology under the bus. She could've just waited for Bernie to drop out at this point so she could support the "Democratic nominee" instead of Biden specifically.

There's more behind the scenes than with other examples, if rumors are to be believed.  Bernie, or one of his campaign higher-ups, supposedly shot down a potential endorsement as she was on her way out.  Closer to a case of pirouetting after the bridge had been burnt.

EDIT: Of course, this rides on believing the accusations.

That makes more sense if it's indeed the truth. Though it would make either Bernie or his campaign really dumb to reject her endorsement. He literally has nothing to lose at this point.

For what it's worth, I think it's time to start up a general election thread. Barring an act of god, a disqualifying scandal, or a lone nut, the two candidates are set.

I agree.

The candidates are mostly set, but what about the VPs? Who will be Biden's running mate?

I'll let the mods know about the new thread. I'll start work on it Monday.

What thread?
