In practice, you can show up at polling booth even after deadline, as long as polling booth is active and vote. Yes, that is the same in California as well. “Sport has the power to change the world.

His numbers are impressive in 2 of Bernie’s key demographics: Very liberals and Independents. Even in young people, his numbers are not that bad, second best behind Bernie. Yeah, I’m currently going through the stages of the grief, and I seem to be moving towards acceptance. I’ll be miserable, sad, and upset with the “adults” in this country, but I will vote for Biden over Trump. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Well, when Barack Obama says "Sanders is too far left" you better take notice. Obama is the best President the Democrats have had since Harry Truman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he doesn’t, majority of us knew that you will vote for Biden in November. Its just that you didn’t want to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is voted against the democrats quite often, but sure Sanders is the odd man out. It’s whatever the party never changes. Today was the last ever election I vote as a Democrat. I will support individual candidates from different parties, but from here on out, I’m a officially a green voter. I actually want to investigate making a state senate run in 22 for them, if I’ll be eligible. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Maxim Fastovsky 124 Posted March 4, 2020 #5486 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) This whole spectacle over who won is really meaningless, it's not the general elections that winner takes all in every state. Here it's about delegates, so if biden and bernie end up with the same number of delegates in texas but one have slightly higher % , does it really matter? Just like Iowa, Buttegieg celebrated victory, but the delegates were virtually tied Edited March 4, 2020 by Maxim Fastovsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, why I no longer want to endorse them. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,542 Posted March 4, 2020 #5488 Share Posted March 4, 2020 To be fair, we’ve already implemented many of the progressive changes we went to see nationally in California. For instance, we already have a medicare-for-all program called “Covered California” the problem is that it’s not free. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

He sure gained all the applause from the post-market crash recovery in the 30s. This being said, Yalta Conference was his worst moment, he struck down British Empire but laid a foundation for the Iron Curtain. PS. If FDR was still alive in the summer of 1945 I'd say you don't drop the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. That was Truman's no-nonsence hardball. The biggest what if for me is what if Truman was there in Yalta rather than FDR. He'd probably see through Stalin's bullshit one way or another. Okay, history lecture over!
