Kind of? His rhetoric wasn't exactly discriminatory when it came to the wealthy. Hell, at least one writer noted that the wealthiest black entrepreneurs seemed to get erased in the campaigns rhetoric...

Just checking. Criticism is not taken well on the internet...

I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcastic.

Yeah... right now I'm seeing this as between Tony Blair (Biden) and Victor Orban (Trump). It doesn't fucking matter how much you hate Blair, it's still a step in a better direction than the other. If you willingly say its the same thing, you become the laughing stock for not being able to tell...

I've worked from home for the last five years, but with large portions of the government essentially trying to hermetically seal them off, large portions of my practice are now essentially non-functioning.

OP updated to reflect the Northern Marianas Islands Caucus and the current results from last night's primary elections. Sanders won the Caucus with 84 [https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/2020-northern-mariana-islands-caucuses-results/story?id=69437342] votes to Biden's 48 Biden appears to...

Currently in King County, Washington, epicenter of the largest US outbreak and highest current fatality count. The region is weirdly quiet, in large part because the tech- and administration-heavy industries large and small are all ordering workers to work from home if they are able, so more...

I mean, that's an argument, but research suggests otherwise [https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/11/women-candidates-must-overcome-sexist-attitudes-even-democratic-primary/]. Hell, if you include second order sexism (AKA "I'm fine but I'm worried about the other voter"), a lot of...

And I think discounting electability is how you lose a primary. This idea that "people shouldn't care about electability" is one that you can push, but at the end of the day, people want a nominee who can win. How they win is going to very by the candidate (again, I think Biden and Sanders are...

Yeah, the Primary in general and Michigan and Missouri in particular [https://www.salon.com/2020/03/11/why-is-bernie-losing-because-hes-not-running-against-a-woman/] has kind of been a depressing pair of experiments on likely sexism in the Democratic primary electorate. Are you holding up the...

There's a lot that would say say about individual points in your response, but I think here is kind of the crux of the issue as to why we have such a disconnect that deserves to be explored. I also think a bit of background is going to be illuminating. I study politics and elections in...

Looks like the takeaway was "don't nominate a woman." Sanders, meanwhile, is getting clobbered more in states he won in 2016. Sanders' Michigan campaign apparatus allegedly never went away and he lost ground. Again, I think, at its core, Sanders has a messaging problem and he's not trying to...

Washington Post is calling Michigan and Missouri for Biden. Most counties in Michigan are showing double-digit changes between Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. It's going to be a bad night for Sanders.

Michigan polls have been closed.

Missouri, Mississippi, and North Dakota polls have closed. Mississippi has been called for Biden by MSNBC.
