I can’t believe Biden is leading in MA. I mean, it makes perfect sense, with Sanders and Warren splitting the progressive vote, but still...
We'll get a million attacks on Elizabeth Warren for allegedly being the spoiler.
You know, as opposed to voters under 30 actually showing up to vote. Can't possibly be their fault.

Doesn’t look like that’s the case though. Only 8% in and Warren on top. No point in counting until more is in.

It changed shortly after my post. Biden was leading before.
But yes, still early.

If this holds and Biden actually wins the most delegates tonight? The map is very much in his favor and he's likely to get a majority.
Tennessee to Joe
Woah... Almost double turnout in Virginia. Looks like Bernie was right - he did drive turnout.
Oklahoma to Biden... A state Sanders won in 2016. Woah buddy

In a way, what we are seeing is a revolution of the middle. People not wanting crazy, racist, cheating and lying on one side and people not wanting to turn America into Denmark on the other. And they are converting into big turnout for a moderate candidate that at this moment in history will stabilize the country.
So far biggest turnout surges have been large Biden wins
After the mass consolidation and drop outs this weekend it looks like whatever leftover Bloomberg support all jumped on Team Biden.
With a super low youth vote...
Oh my god! The youngs didn't vote?

Thinking about how this healthcare system is going to continue to kill people and very likely accelerate the rate in which it is doing so has me despondent this evening.

Colorado to Bernie.

With a democratic president and Senate, we are likely to see widely increased coverage within a year or two, likely starting with a public option and then expanding to become a mixture of public and private insurance thus giving every American coverage.
And, two SCOTUS seats.
Sure, it’s not perfect. But this is much more better than where we stand today.

I can’t say it enough, we already have a de facto “public option.” Insurance isn’t coverage, it’s a system designed around betting against you. The government participating won’t change anything - it’ll end up just like student loans. You can subsidize them all you want but it will never get at the heart of the problem.
It's not perfect.
But it'll pass.
Sanders plan is better.
It won't pass.
That matters

I’m just glad we’ve troubleshot the Sanders theory of electability early.
Now we know.

What is this de facto public option you speak of?
Sanders: We will win the Democratic nomination.

No, it won’t do anything.
And no, it won’t fucking pass if you don’t have the house and the senate. It doesn’t matter which candidate you’re talking about.
Well you're certainly not flipping the Congress trying to turn out the mythical youth vote

Obamacare’s tax premium is subsidization of care. It’s not a literal insurer but it functions as one - it’s the government saying “we’ll pay for your coverage.” That’s already strikingly similar to what an insurer does, there’s just a middle man in the current system.
So long as hospital companies and insurance companies exist, they’ll be duking it out for every dollar. The government agreeing to play in that system won’t change how insurance works. Student loans via the government are cheaper and better loans, but they are not addressing the cost of education. They are just lessening the pain of it (for now).

VA turnout higher than in 2008.

Senators run on their own platforms. Not sure why you think they’re beholden to their leadership. How do you think candidates like Joe Manchin and Doug Jones get elected?
Turns out that people really want to beat Trump
