    So the US can preserve its status as having the most ridiculous election process in the free world.

    It should all happen the same day, no primaries just every eligible candidate on the same ballot, "jungle primary" style. Instant runoff rules apply. No fuss no muss.

    It's really an odd form of voter suppression in a way. Certain states are weighted more because they're first and people in the last states to vote may not even have a chance to cast their vote ...like in this situation, Sanders isnt really viable anymore and if he drops out now there's still quite a few states that dont even get a chance to cast their vote.

    And I get there's not really a point in voting if only one candidate is viable, but it isnt really fair that early states get to decide that and have so much influence over the election.

    Not to mention the influence it has on successive primaries

    You could see that momentum happen

    If they were all held on the same day, everyone goes in Blind,no way would Biden have gotten some of the percentages he did

    It is curious

    Biden would have to choose an African American running mate now wouldn't he?

    Which is who, Booker? Any other contenders?


    Booker is dating Rosario Dawson to add a little Hollywood

    Then a month in Biden keels over in office and Booker and Dawson become the Obamas 2.0 ;)

    Trump's going to win though

    Lame. Whatever you may think of Bernie, he's neither Homer Simpson nor an Antifa bomb thrower. Nor is there evidence his supporters are. Who finds a cartoon like this amusing or insightful? Homer is definitely a MAGA hat-wearing type--definitely no librul. The real bomb thrower is in the White House!

    Meh, is this the part where we are supposed to pretend that because most African Americans vote Democrat they are not racist?

    Half Indian with a white husband.....I don't see it happening

    It would be rather meaningless considering 1) your country's lousy two party system and 2) the Republican majority in important positions, and 3) assuming it will be Biden

    You're the one stating Biden 'would have to choose an African American running mate now'...

    Well, I'm sure that you as a white Australian know much better what lurks in the hearts of African-Americans. Obama was "half white" and they seemed to like him. And she is a woman--so there's that. Besides, she's experienced, smart and competent.

    He's insisting on racial purity--someone like Stacey Abrams, maybe? She's not married to a white man or anybody else, which could be even more of a political disadvantage. Then there's Michelle Obama--but her husband is half white.
