Tulsi didn't even win American Samoa? :p

Somehow Bloomberg won that one :mumble:

Well, if either Biden or Sanders don’t end up with enough votes to win, Warren can make the “great unitor” play at the convention. I don’t think it would work, but her base is passionately anti-Biden as well.

 

Warren should just pull out and endorse Sanders at this stage. She keeps splitting the progressive vote while everyone else who pulled out has supported Biden which helped him a lot on ST. Bloomberg will endorse Biden too.

Warren drops out :( Now, it’s down to two old white guys that no one really feels all that enthusiastic about. I believe they’re both older than Trump, and the front runner has voted against more “Democratic” proposals than the guy who isn’t. It’s so embarrassing. A party who praises itself for forward thinking, diversity, and progression comes up with two old white dudes, and no matter which one wins, a good portion of the party will feel alienated.
 

If I’m on Trump’s Team, I’m really starting to like my odds in November. I think we’ll push Biden or Bernie across, but all the enthusiasm has evaporated from this race in the last week.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Old white men dominate politics in the world :dunno:

Biden delivered a beatdown yesterday. He won every single county in Missouri and racked up 80% in Mississippi. Not to mention winning the biggest state Michigan by over 250,000 votes! (where Sanders beat Clinton four years ago).

 

Sanders didn't even deliver a speech and bailed out to Vermont :p

How the hell do i get a twitter post to show up??

You post the link, and then wait a minute until you see it show up as a post. And no, that’s not me. Not so concerned about Bernie losing, but more about the progressive movement dying after him. I did switch my party to Green though :p

    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
    • play their best, but only get 1, so  get bronze 6-4!  
    • Oh dear, once again a 50% shot from Constantini when she needed 100%.   blank the end & go into the 10th with the Hammer of Thor.  
    • Very quick end &  get 2 back to 6=3, but  have the hammer in ninth....
