20% of the vote in, and Bernie holds the lead. Him, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar are competing for the win tonight. Absolutely abysmal performances from Warren and Biden. Steyer doing terrible, but better than expected :p

Warren/Biden will not receive any delegates from New Hampshire :yikes:. Two weeks ago I would have called that heresy.

No offence, but a lot of us probably don't need to be reading/care about live updates on US politics.

Could not agree more.

 

The real problem here is that only one political viewpoint is endlessly published here and anyone who doesn't subscribe to this position is constantly disaproved of 

I thought this was a sports site .Whilst sometimes there is a political element to sports issues the sport should always come first and the politics spoken of only when directly relevant

@intoronto point was fair, and so I listened.
 

It’s not my fault that I’m politically active. Yes, I should post about it less on here, but I like to hear other people’s perspectives from outside it all. I myself, find the American elections quite relevant considering it’s impacts on foreign policy (and things such as athlete visas), but that’s a personal opinion I suppose. I think the fact you think this forum is left-leaning is quite hilarious. I’m pretty sure it’s quite the opposite.

 

I also love that you post talking about me only pushing one constant viewpoint, when your comments are always completely fucking insane, and often very far-fetched.
