...was Sanders ever projected to win Virginia? Now North Carolina is different, where polling was closer.
Idk I can never remember all these different states lol. I’m just repeating what the good folks at CNN said.

Biden projected to win Virginia. Sanders projected to win Vermont. CNN says this “has gotta be disappointing for Sanders.”

I don't use Robinhood but I do use a discount brokerage. I don't do any option plays or anything like that so I'm not worried about missing one days worth of trading but what is concerning that I never thought of -- what if my account was just erased? There is insurance that theoretically should cover me but if the data is gone and I'm just like "Well, uhhh I had some stocks... but I can't remember the exact number...." that might cause a problem. I should put it all in a spreadsheet I guess just in case this happens.

I feel like it's a good time to remind Americans in here that Bernie would be considered a moderate in any other developed nation. Seriously, he is further to the right than the current Liberal government of Canada, a party known for it's devotion to pragmatic centrism. Anyone calling him extreme is revealing their ignorance to actual political ideology.
I don't really agree with your comparison between Bernie and the LPC.
Medicare for all would give the USA a healthcare scheme with significantly broader coverage than what currently exists in Canada. Yes, the liberals have been musing about some sort of pharmacare program but what about things like dental coverage? Sanders would cover dental in M4A, the LPC has not (AFAIK) proposed any such thing.
I have never heard any calls for a wealth tax from the LPC.
Bernie Sanders wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and I've never heard the LPC propose anything like that (although admittedly with that example I'm not entirely sure if the feds have jurisdiction to mandate a nationwide minimum wage).
Bernie has proposed canceling all student loan debt and making college tuition free. While tuition costs and student loan debt aren't as onerous in Canada as it is in the USA, most people graduating university in Canada will have some student loans and the LPC has not proposed making college free or canceling student loans.
Chrystia Freeland and Bill Morneau would absolutely shit bricks if Trudeau started proposing policies similar to what Sanders is proposing, IMO.

maybe the bernie bros make such a big deal because the FUTURE OF HUMANITY depends on electing him president

Anyone not Biden or Bernie should drop, they're the only two with a coalition that includes minority support as a major factor
NO! Booty and Bloomberg need to stick it out until the end.

COVID-19 also seems to have a more significant impact on people with compromised breathing.
I wonder if the fatality rates will be the same in other parts of the world with better air quality and lower smoking rates?
Fatter people tho -

nice I played through it on switch and loved it, I hope they drop the toys this time though and just focus on the core game. Also just make it Nintendo exclusive and add the star fox characters more extensively.

I would love for Warren to be the main opponent to Sanders, and then have her throw her delegates to him at a brokered convention (to the fury of the DNC).
She won’t do that, she’s a shitlib

I know I rag on stuff a lot here by just listing stuff Canada does...but:
- Have a single paper ballot per person
- Put in a box (with two witnesses)
- Count each box with one employee and a witness for each camp
- Report results on a list at precinct, which is then directly passed to the state, each party's HQ, and media
To be fair, that’s elections. I think parties can whatever method they choose to select leaders. -

Wow that sounds like it’ll be quite a trip!

No, because there are 49 other states.
but I mean with him leading in the polls as it is, a clear win in Iowa should pretty much make him unstoppable no?

If sanders wins Iowa does that pretty much seal the nomination in his favor?

There’s a lot of folks hating on vegans for some reason.
