Election Day, Nov 3, 2020

I was #4701 when I voted at Roberts Park on Saturday.

Just a note for those of your worried about their vote not counting because of candidates dropping out of the race, it’s very likely your vote would not have counted anyway due to not reaching the 15% threshold.

This is true, but I’m sure that all of these voters would have a second preference among those who do reach 15% or more. In other words, are they in the Biden or Sanders/Warren camp?

The Raleigh-Durham of political ideals.

And unless I am mistaken Tulsi Gabbard is also still in the race?

She is. Her 1 delegate is going to be the big prize. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I have heard he’ll keep some offices to support the eventual nominee. Could be the case here.

My boss says it all the time and it’s incredibly country and annoying. I mean he’s allways just hanging around like a hair on a biscuit and I’m just like why the fudge do you have hairs on your biscuits?!?!?

You’ve never heard that?!? It’s one of my all-time favorites. Meaning: a little bit out of place and folks aren’t sure what to do with you.

I grew up in Raleigh so never learned many of these country sayings. :grin: But I am adding them to my lexicon these days.

Me too, but then again I was surrounded by transferred New Yorkers as a kid.

Well Warren dropped out. If she endorses Sanders, it could put him back in charge with the delegate count still close and a critical block of states coming up.

If she endorses Biden then it’s basically over.

If she endorses no one then it’ll be a slow fizzle for the progressive ticket instead of an instant death, but probably still an eventual loss unless something changes.

From the way she is talking about the Sanders’ supporters ugliness I don’t see her endorsing him . . .

I’m starting to think about a Biden/Warren ticket. Thoughts?

Renamed the thread to all things election day, Nov 2020.

Would be kind of a shot to the segment of the party that helped Biden turn things around wouldn’t it? And I don’t think it would do much along the unity front as the Bernie or Bust folks would find another excuse not to vote.
Also would more than likely lead to a Republican being appointed to the Senate in her stead thus removing any chance of the party capturing the Senate.

Wow, hadn’t thought of her replacement in the Senate - so nevermind. I was just thinking she could pull the Sanders supporters out to vote in November.
