Bernie had a freaking heart attack during his campaign.

Bernie has better plans than Biden and was more cogent during the debates.

Come on girls, Bernie and Biden are both on our side, and they both want to make this nation a better place for everyone, not just straight church-attending white people and white nationalists. I’m not going to drag Bernie and I’m not going to drag Biden either, because both ultimately want the same thing for our country, albeit with difference approaches.

Biden is a compassionate empathetic man. And, yes, he is Gaga’s pal, [1] so anyone dragging Biden here is going to get some dragging back.

Bernie is a very principled man; I loved how he dragged that religious fundamentalist who thinks people of other religions will be tortured by God and I live how he stands up for what he believes in. I’m sure he’s Gaga’s pal too, but I haven’t head it from the horse’s mouth.

If you ask me, Gaga is always beautiful. No matter what. Because she is a very kind and caring person full of love.

It isn't a drag. One had a real medical diagnosis that would have ended any candidate's political run and there is statistics of the life expectancy of men in there late 70's that suffered a heart attack. 

It isn't ageism or an attack. I'm not saying someone is good and the other is evil. Bernie is a great man with a real diagnosed health problem. 

But I'm not going to say anything else, I'm over it already.

Bernie will never be president. Please hang that tired conversation out to dry.

Kinda scary to look at that "white youth" bar voting 62% Trump. Racism will never die out, America will never skew Democratic/socialist in the future. 

[Supersonic 49,376]

This how polling looked like for the previous year between Trump & Biden and a stark reminder that the Covid-19 pandemic absolutely had no influence and that Trump's incompetent response to it did not sway any of his supporters AT ALL.

Some more AZ updates:

* Here is the page for the remaining ballots in AZ: https://arizona.vote/ballot-progress.html

* There are are only 3 counties with significant number of uncounted votes: Apache (deep blue), Maricopa (Mixed, but the mail-ins tend red), and Pinal (Pretty red)

We are +18,610 in AZ right now.

Apache has been split, so I’ll call it 50-50 and ignore it. It might actually give Biden more votes, because some drops have been sapphire blue, like the drops in WI, MI, PA, and GA.

Pinal county has been 66% Trump in the last drop, so if 14,000 remain, that’s about 5,000 more votes for Trump.

Maricopa has 23,761 left, let’s make that 60% Trump which is more red than recent drops. That's 4,753 votes for Trump added.

Maybe 8,000 elsewhere. At 66% Trump, 2,700 votes added

18610 - 5,000 - 4,753 - 2,700 means Biden is still 5,500 ahead.  These are worst case numbers for the non-provisional ballots. The real number will probably be 8000-10000 ahead for Biden after the last ballot is counted.

In terms of the provisional ballots, I haven’t seen any evidence they will have the same red shift as the late mail in ballots. Provisional ballots tend to be blue; so I’ll call them a wash. The ballots awaiting signature verification are early ballots, which tend blue. I’ll ignore them, but they will probably give Biden some more votes in AZ.

Point being, @Jill, AZ is Blue. I just don’t see a path for Trump to catch up.

The next big Maricopa drop will be at 6pm Eastern Time.

Joe Biden ran in 1988 and 2008. He is also a two time loser. I don’t think we need to run Bernie again, but we DO need to combat the rise of Trumpism with a left-wing populist who is in the same vein as Bernie.
