BTW, if you are a progressive, if you want the Dem party to move left, voter for Sanders in your primary (if your primary is yet to come) - ty97 Apr 13, 11:48 13
- I’m likely to at this point -- nm - JackDawson Apr 13, 11:52
- Hence my reaction below. - znufrii Apr 13, 11:50 1
  - I went back and forth a lot but had decided I was voting for him before he dropped out. - ty97 Apr 13, 11:52
- Eeesh that makes Biden look weaker IMO. -- nm - Bacon Apr 13, 11:50 8
  - I don't think so. - ty97 Apr 13, 11:51 7
    - It looks like a dissent vote to me. The higher the number the weaker it makes the Nom look. - Bacon Apr 13, 11:53 5
      - People on the fence won't even notice the count. It's a non-issue. - ty97 Apr 13, 11:55 3

      - See, this is kind of how I look at it. And I was not going to vote Bernie (in the primary) anyway. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:54
    - 2800 to 1800, approx -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:52
- Theoretically. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:50

- it's privately public -- nm - decline Apr 13, 11:51
- What is a "Private Outdoor Pool?" Like, a pool in your backyard? - JaxSean Apr 13, 11:47
- You can open but not service obviously -- nm - oblique Apr 13, 11:45 1
  - The fact that they are condos and therefore they all own the pool can sometimes change things. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:47

The rats are coming... -- (link) - decline Apr 13, 11:25 3
- A lady walking her dog last night stopped and talked to me (from a distance) and was mentioning how the rats all look skinny and are getting desperate - ty97 Apr 13, 11:28 2

Bernie Sanders endorses Joe Biden for president -- (link*) - budice Apr 13, 11:17 6
- He effectively did during the suspension of his campaign last week, so not at all surprised -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 11:47 1
  - This is basicly the same as him showing up at a Joe Biden rally or press conference - eag Apr 13, 11:50

- So nice to hear this at Easter rather than Christmas. -- nm - mara Apr 13, 11:42
- Nice - znufrii Apr 13, 11:26
- I'm impressed that they could hit those high notes at 2:30 in with a church choir. -- (edited) - spamlet Apr 13, 11:19 1
  - The tenor part at 3:30 always used to give me trouble, not that it's particularly high, but I'd be gassed by the time it came around - znufrii Apr 13, 11:27

I have heard that large quantities of taco bell are immunizative against COVID-19. may as well try, right? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 10:59 6
- Sure, but there may be certain undesirable side effects. -- nm - VMan Apr 13, 11:15 1
  - This is why we never get mutant powers. Stupid safety precautions -- nm - Bacon Apr 13, 11:17
- "what have you got to lose?" -- nm - mud Apr 13, 11:08

- They have to make sure it causes autism, duh. -- nm - mara Apr 13, 11:44
- Given how the scientific method works it makes sense. What I don’t get is how if there already exists a test (say an immunity test) you can’t mass pro - JackDawson Apr 13, 11:27
