I'm still sore and salty cause Andrew Yang pulled out of the presidency. I want you all to know that.

But then I get it, why vote for someone that can bring ACTUAL positive change in your lives, right? Who wants that? In America it's so much more fun to be miserable and full of problems that politicians don't give a fuck about nor plan to ever fix. Those are the guys you wanna vote for.

Come aboard the Tulsi train! Lord knows we need all the support we can get :/

But seriously, I believe she's at least entertaining the idea of UBI, which is more than any other candidates can say. She's also probably the most similar to him, with the next closest being Bernie. I've noticed between the Tulsi reddit and Twitter, there seem to be a lot of YangGangers hopping aboard.

Though let's be honest, we're all going to end up riding Bernie's coattails when it's all said and done and Tulsi inevitably drops out. Still, aint over till it's over!

I don't want to be that guy, and voter shaming is wrong. But honestly, Tulsi no longer has a path to the nomination and unfortunately after NH I don't see her getting delegates. Tulsi has been supporting UBI for a while now so it makes sense for yang supporters to go for her but if you're really trying to get that anti establishment vote out, and trying to get that anti establishment win, its all Bernie.

Tulsi is great, but I personally think she should drop after Nevada. I see her trying to stay in for the long haul but we know she and Bernie are close, we know she can go to him talk to him and put in a good word for that position in his administration and then endorse him when she drops out since while he isn't as strong on foreign policy as her, he's still the closest to her and she can try to wring his ear a bit on it. Bernie also needs to open up to UBI as well. That combined 6% that yang and Tulsi had would atleast give him a 3% bump. Especially if they start to stump for him.

She gets the crowds, she has enthusiasm, but at the same time I think most of the voters that show up to her events still go to Bernie instead of her and while she isn't the one spoiling the race for Bernie (Warren) that small bump from her endorsing him could mean the difference between a contested convention or a majority.

Biden's fall is so deep and fast it's sometimes hard to believe.

Case in point, a poll in Nevada. Biden was still the frontrunner in Nevada one month ago. Now? Bernie is leading in the latest poll by a whopping 19%. It's even more crushing for voters with age under 45 and among Hispanic people, where he's getting over 60% of the votes (64 and 66% respectively).

The courts just ruled that Florida felons who have served their prison time do not have to repay all fines, fees, etc...prior to be able to register to vote. That means that 1.6 million people in Florida just became eligible to vote.

Get ready for Florida to flip too.

Amazing news! Hopefully more states follow suit, voter suppression of this magnitude needs to be dealt with and this is a great first step.

This is why I kept saying sine last June that he was just a name recognition candidate and that he would drop hard because of it.

Biden ran in 1988, 2008 and 2020. That's 115 voting contests so far. Never once higher than 4th place.

Yeah, by this point, the real challenger is Bloomberg, not Biden anymore. Though Biden could at least get a third spot in Nevada now (behind Bernie and Steyer)

Speaking of Steyer, I love how he stands by his ideas and doesn't resort to gaslighting, instead tells exactly what his idea and plans for healthcare in the US is:

Besides, how many billionaires would want to get called on first name basis?

Oh, and MSNBC is calling out the rule change of the DNC for the debates:

"It’s not clear if the legal battle will get resolved ahead of this year’s presidential election in the battleground state, which could decide whether President Donald Trump wins a second term."

In other words, this thing could still be tied up in court by the time the elections happen. 

But if this does happen to get resolved, in favor of ex-felons, Trump is screwed. He has no path to 270 without Florida.

Well, except he would have won in 2016 without Florida.

Yeah, but the rust belt is not happy with Trump and those will almost certainly be lost again for him. Without those, he'll need Florida or he's out.

That's only because he took two rust belt states, that Hillary's campaign put on the back burner. He campaigned hard there, and virtually everybody laughed him off saying "You can't flip those states! They're blue!" Well, actually, yeah you can flip Red, or Blue states if your opponent leaves them undefended.

I was watching the NBC pre-debate show and their anti-Sanders angles were nuts. No objectivity at all. Talking about how he is a risk, a threat, has no chance against Trump, saying the moderate candidates should leave Bloomberg alone and attack Sanders instead, saying that even though Sanders leads, the other candidates should not rally around him even if he takes a commanding lead after Super Tuesday, etc...

This is a huge part of why we don't like Corporate Media, but we'll break them up once Bernie is president :)
