Cuz our primary system blows. We were supposed to have 31 primaries completed today, but we already have the 2 candidates. The other 19 states didnt even get a say.

Also, early states send the trends, but states like iowa and nevada are white af. So diverse populations are shut out

Wow I wish folks who think Obama and The Clintons are great would do a little digging for themselves and see the damage they actually did to this country while making themselves rich. Obama funded terrorists groups with tax payers money while disarming the US and leaving us vulnerable to our enemies who were building nuclear power to destroy us. The Clinton's gave Russia our uranium and north Korea a generator so they could build nuclear power to destroy us. I could go on for days about the things that the Obama's and Clinton's have done but it is best you do your own research. Begin by watching Clinton's cash and Obama's America. Please don't be fooled. Someone is not good or bad because of the color of their skin or gender. Look at their past actions and deeds to make a good or bad determination.

Because too many Americans were afraid that only a “safe option” could beat Trump (the latter obviously being locked in as an incumbent)

The problem wasn’t about women imho. It has become about Bernie/Warren’s progressive policies vs everyone else.

When Bernie and Warren’s campaigns took momentum, the rest of the democrats needed to make a decision of agreeing with those progressive ideas or choose someone to beat them first. That ends up allowing Biden to take the reign because he has the most name recognition among the group and most think if they throw all the support the most probable candidate, they won’t end up with the progressive ideas that they don’t agree with.

The primary then become Bernie vs the rest. Individually, Bernie may have a bigger proportion (like 20-40%?) because the rest are splitting. That means the rest of the Democrats never get to choose among the “others” to avoid a Bernie ticket.

If Bernie were never in the primary, it may be a totally different primary and Biden will probably won’t end up with the nomination.

Bernie bros may say that the DNC with the rest of the candidates stole the nomination from him because everyone agrees to stick together against him. But it can also be true that Bernie stole the nomination from DNC because we never had a chance to choose between the rest and end up just agreeing and put a most name recognizable old VP to the ticket.

I’m not arguing that Biden is the answer, but MAGA is nothing but a cult. Do you really want to follow “Koresh’s” lead and burn to death in a country that’s on fire while the rest of the world watches? A 70k writeoff for hair appointments is 1300 a week over the course of a year. If you even try to justify this, you are part of the problem.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
