.

She definitely likes to hear herself talk.

SMUG. Reminds me of this South Park scene.

She almost certainly voted for him in 2016, and will, I suspect, do so again.

Magnanimity should be practiced by the victor.

The loss is not yet official and it is still raw.

if you aren't work iui ng against Trump, you are working for him.

There isn't an equivalency between Biden and Trump. One wants to provide universal healthcare in a different way than Bernie Sanders, and one empowers Nazis.

Nudging people works. Threatening folks may work with the GOP, but it won't work for most of us.

That said, both Biden and Sanders are infinitely preferable to the unindicted co-conspirator we have now.

Why? Because neither man is a sadist and the president we have now is.

BS supporters are threatening not to vote for a D because they can't get their way--which are the threats of spoiled brat bullies, but it's the rest of us who have to be conciliatory to those crybaby tantrum throwers?

Really?

What planet are you living on where we the grownups have to accommodate puerile crybabies throwing tantrums when they don't get their way, or they'll take their toys and go home?

They need to grow the hell up and deal with the real world, for once in their over-privileged, pampered lives.

I do not believe Joe Biden agrees with you on this.

That sounded quite a lot like a sore winner.

Our kids have gotten shafted in more ways than I can count; although, Senator Sanders losing this would not constitute a new shafting.

Our kids are not spoiled brats. They are struggling to make things work burdened by enormous debt, an economy that keeps crashing on them and scam artists, like for profit colleges, sitting like vultures waiting to rob their wallets.

The best way for our kids to reverse this trend is for them to vote.

The best way for us to nudge them to the polls is to recognize their problems and propose solutions. We won't get a single kid (who may be working 3 jobs in the "gig" economy) to vote Democratic by calling them whiners.

Shall we leave the insults to the GOP, please?

At least she knows Bernie is toast. Someone should get that memo to Bernie.

as we all end up self quarantining for a while

Hey Krystal! Hey Cenk!

This is just some STUPID shit right there.

or our Planet.

without money until Clyburn saved him. If you can't beat a dead man, it shows you have no ability to expand your base and are a weak candidate hoping to beat a divided field.

Dem voters (who are overwhelmingly center-left Obama/Clinton Dems) ultimately rushed out to support Biden because they rejected what Sanders and the far-left was selling, don't like the Bernie Bros, etc.

... she's giving "permission" and otherwise providing justification for such treachery.

This is much the same thing that Jane did on ELECTION DAY last time... she tweeted a message to her followers letting them know that it really didn't matter who you voted for, as long as you voted. Again, giving permission to vote third party... because, "it didn't matter".

What horse shit! I'm sick of this. Fact of the matter is, it DOES matter. Why are people like this indulging the vanities and egos of bubbleheads?

It's insane.

I chose that word quite deliberately. I know what it means. I meant what I said.

She can be a borderline moron for all I care but nobody's going to take her serious

nominee

I don't care how many hours they're on the air supposedly supporting left wing causes. No liberal or progressive would not vote against the Orange Monster if they had a chance

I don't believe that either one of them are really progressives.

...I bet a lot of the GOP Congress will leave it blank. He has no way of knowing how they vote..

No lives matter.

Krystal Ball is the founding member of No Lives Matter.

Is to admit you have a tremendous privilege

But some on the left are apparently just as willing to do so. I get being disappointed if your preferred candidate doesn't get the nomination. But how is another term of trump going to help the progressive policies you claim to support?

They seem to think, "this will show Democratic voters that they have to vote for our candidate", so that next time they'll get a more progressive nominee.

In the mean time, Republicans will continue to gain a stranglehold on the judicial branch. Further restrictions of voting rights will be upheld. Rollbacks of environmental laws, consumer protection laws, civil rights laws will follow. We'll just vote them out, you say? Sorry the election was cancelled...can't have "human scum" messing up all these great changes can we? That's illegal, you say? Trump's court says it's fine.

Am I exaggerating? Maybe a little, but it's true that all evil needs to succeed is for you to do nothing to stop it.

So, there! I'll show you!

stronger stuff wants to come out. She is angling to be the next Bern I guess.

That's just a sore loser.

every time I heard the name, I thought it was one of RuPaul's drag queens

who names their kid Krystal Ball?

We don't have time for her tantrums. The future of our country is at stake.

Sick of the idiocracy.

Anyone defending Krystal Ball's decision to "leave it blank" is equally treacherous.

were going to unmask themselves once it became clear that Sanders wasn't going to win...

I'm grateful for this because I need to know up front who I can and can't trust moving forward.

But I am disappointed in her... Scary to think that once upon a time long ago I was planning to make her 'Mrs.' Tires...

Just like everybody else at The Hill!

In our unyielding two party system the only chance to win votes to your level of progressivism occurs in the Democratic primaries. If you can't win there it's because the country is not yet ready for it, and the changes you seek must be incremental rather than immediate. You ultimately get NOTHING when you refuse the incrementalism.

Let's face it. That's what anyone who pulls such a stunt is.
