Do you live in a black or latino neighborhood? Do they even have those in Maine? They're not supposed to be disenfranchising white males!! Oh, wait. You must live in a liberal area. Still fits with the plan, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, the unofficial Latin neighborhood in Portland is where my polling place is. That said, 90% of the people voting were white. The staff there said turnout has been historic and the polling places are overwhelmed. So, while a 2 hour wait time is inconvenient, it is great to see the reason why. Higher turnout everywhere means Trump is finished. Edited March 4, 2020 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Biden wins VA. Not surprised at that even though he wasn't my candidate. Still think it comes down to him or Bernie which would leave me in limbo as I don't know whether I could vote for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it should probably apply to all/most of them too really, Not exactly a bunch of spring chickens are they as Bloomberg is also 78 & Biden 77, Hell Elizabeth Warren is practically a baby at 70 & Trump is nearly 74. Not really the best people to be heading out on an arduous campaign trail where they surround themselves with hundreds/thousands of potentially infectious strangers every few hours & i'm not really sure the pressures & stress that go with that job (or pretty much any job) are a good idea for anyone in their 80's Edited March 4, 2020 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm p***** off that our realistic candidates are all in their older 70s and mostly white men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Big turnout to vote for Biden. It makes a bit of a mockery of those commentators who were saying he should just give up and hand it to Sanders after the Nevada caucuses. Turns out the voters of Ohio and Nevada didn’t seem to represent the current reality of the Democratic Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny but on the other hand his adds were more general “anti Trump” messaging so if that inspires votes to get out and vote against Trump on the big day it will have served some purpose at least.

Czechlad Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I am actually surprised how quickly Biden rose up the ranks. If Buttigieg and Kloubuchar didn't drop out, I think Bernie's lead would have basically named him the democratic nominee today. I dislike a lot of the stuff I read on twitter and reddit saying the DNC is rigging the election again. No they are not. The candidates don't want Bernie so they made the logical choice to rally behind one candidate. That isn't rigging an election. They just want their guy to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Word this morning that youth vote simply didn't turn out for Bernie/or in the numbers expected. We'll see once further analysis takes place. Warren was briefing that she intends to hang around as she believes that she'll be able to help out at the convention. In other words, she wants to stay on the good side of the corporate wing and not help Sanders. The neo-liberals march on. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
