It's not open source, and I don't trust that there's no key-logger in that .exe so I'll pass

I'll take that as a joke.
Just the fact that she's out is good enough for me. A bigger pool of potential progressive voters is a good thing for Bernie.


I'll make a little disclosure here. I've donated in total around $580 for Bernie so far around this primary season in 2020 and 2019. And I'm working class, I'm not well off by any stretch of the imagination. In my day to day life, I've never seen anyone with a Joe Biden T-Shirt or with a Biden car sticker.

I've met people supporting Trump or people supporting Bernie. I never met anyone openly supporting Biden.

I won't stop fighting now, even if there's only a small chance of getting Bernie the presidency. Super Tuesday sucked. But we're still in the race.

Bernie kind of shoots himself in the foot by using the term "Democratic Socialist". Take all the policies he backs and remove that pointless label, and we'd probably be winning right now.

I was wrong about California, I thought the rules were the same for every state. 15% to be viable. But in California it's a little bit more complex than that, apparently part of the rules is that you get delegates for 15%+ in a congressional district.


We're only at 37% of the total delegates so far and the tallying hasn't completed yet

There are still 2480 delegates to go (3,979-1,499).

Bernie needs like 1991 to win and has 382.

So he would need to win about 65% of the remaining delegates if my math is correct and my assumptions are accurate, which I seriously doubt because I don't really know much about the actual rules and how this all plays out.

Here's the math 2480*0.65 + 382 = 1994 
                               ^
                            1612

Considering what's happened tonight I think a majority is really unlikely. Even if we get a plurality the DNC can steal this from us. But I'll keep supporting Bernie.
                           

I clearly said that the price can go either way. I believe that in the coming years it will go up.

If you're too chickenshit to put your money where your mouth is that's fine but just admit it. I give you a fair bet with limited stakes. What you're offering me is basically nonsense. There's no winning for me.


Also I don't owe anybody anything. The only times I gave friends investment advice.

1. Bitcoin was at $13 and I told someone close to get one because it could really go up.
2. Bitcoin was at $100 and I offered to give my best friend some BTC if she set up her own full node wallet


I'm not responsible for anyone's losses and since I'm in here for ideological reasons as well the price can and does take a back seat for me as compared to the ideals.

Bitcoin isn't ready, we don't have a beautiful gui, we don't have enough TPS, we don't have adoption. Those things will change.

E-mail used to take days. People never thought it would catch on.

Not if no-one else is viable. There's a good chance that Biden doesn't get that 15% in California.

1. Bernie has details on how his plans will be implemented. He's not like other candidates. If you want to make this argument, you have to provide examples of where he is failing to provide details. From watching him live I can also tell that his brain is functional and he's not an automaton like many of the other candidates.

2. Bernie has a very strong character and here's the proof. He got himself arrested fighting for black rights. How many people would get arrested fighting for other people's rights, especially when it's not popular.

That was in 1963 when Bernie was a 21 year old student.

I don't wanna take more space with another pic on this thread but here's a source on that, with a good photo: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-bernie-sanders-1963-chicago-arrest-20160219-story.html


I feel like I'm spamming this thread with all my replies so I might just lurk for a while. Can't wait to see if Bernie does well on Super Tuesday.

I don't understand how people are willing to vote for Biden. Then again I struggle to see why Trump became president.


If everyone in the electorate saw this video I think Bernie would win:

I've seen better compilations than that too. If I had a daughter and Joe did that to her I'd probably punch him and go to jail.




Then there's the fact that his brain is melting:

Then there's the fact that Obama didn't even endorse him.
Then there's all the lies and fake stories he constantly tells.

If Biden wins the nom, I think it will be even worse than 2016.

Hillary Clinton at least had the gimmick that she would be the first woman. One of the few things that made me almost stop supporting Bernie was when he endorsed Hillary. I lost a lot of respect for him, but I see his side too, Trump has been a disaster.

The only reason Biden has a chance of winning is the lies that are propagated through the media. A sea of lies. Lies everywhere. Even on the Internet. Politifact is part of that too. Their "fact checks" are wrong when it comes to Bernie vs Biden which is disturbing.

Edit: deleting unnecessary words

I'm sorry but has your brain melted?

What I'm offering is completely fair. If you would win, you'd get your precious fiat. If I'd win I'd get my precious 10 bitcents.
What you're offering is dog-shit. Kinda shows people how stupid you actually are.

The only one who is trying to wiggle out is you. I kinda think your posts are not worth reading at this point.

We're all people. The idea that they can somehow take over society and destroy a country is far-right fear-mongering. In truth they are a net benefit to society. The rules won't change. Just more diversity in the crowd.

In my experience immigrants were more fun to hangout than racists.

Even in a small village up in the mountains, I met an Albanian, well respected in the community and part of it. Now Imagine that all over Greece but with Syrians. I don't see how it makes Greece any worse.


To your points. There are going to be bigots among the immigrants, just like the native population. Hopefully if the culture goes right these people will become more secular.

As for immigrants not being fruitful labor, you're probably eating vegetables grown by immigrants and enter buildings and drive on roads that were build by illegal immigrant labor. A lot of people immigrate illegally simply to find work.

I bet the reason they don't have legal status to work is because the system failed them. I respect the lengths that these people take to get what we take for granted.

The only point where I'd advocate for a military like defense of the borders would be if it was a legit invasion. And I know you probably get a ha**on just thinking about shooting brown people but this is not what's happening here.

That's insane since you were on salary, do you feel you got more opportunities down the line for the sacrifice you did for that company? Or did they just expect that from you?

Maybe the VP spot.

Biden + Pete = a good chance of Trump 2020

Video about Pete Buttigieg dropping out from Secular Talk, who is a really good political commentator, honest and usually on the Ball.
Secular Talk is massively pro Bernie

I think both the 100k and the 100 are unlikely scenarios. It's not all or nothing. The argument for an increase in value is scarcity and adoption. So it's a solid argument for bitcoin going up eventually. 100k is possible but predicting that is impossible.

$100 would mean that somehow everyone lost faith, or that bitcoin somehow got supplanted by a better project. It's possible but I don't think it's likely.

Bitcoin I believe has a unique position because it's the number 1 POW coin and we only need 1. There could be other coins, connected to bitcoins POW doing POS or Masternodes or whatever but bitcoin will probably remain the leader.

Even if it loses the number 1 spot, going all the way down to $100 is kind of insane.

Let's get some context. 2008, Obama gets the nomination after he gets 48.1% of the delegates. Hillary Clinton got 48%

Obama clearly won.


In a race with many candidates and where Bernie has been cheated and will probably get cheated even more, I'd say a plurality of candidates is a victory. The only reason why there is a "debate" is the same reason why there is a debate in other issues where the establishment stands to lose.


So, you won't take the bet because Bernie is winning by my definition, which I believe to be the reasonable definition. The winner of an election being the one who got the most votes. On a technicality. A plurality of delegates in this case indicates that he would probably get the majority of the people in a 1 VS 1 election for the nomination.

So are you implicitly siding with the insiders? The people who are willing to discredit the United States democratic system and disenfranchise millions of young people?

Did you mean, after Bernie wins, will they try to steal the nomination from him?


I'm willing to bet 0.01 BTC that Bernie beats the competition if you're game. But Bernie getting over 50% of delegates I don't imagine is possible. Then again. I don't know enough about elections to forecast them.

I just know that a real movement like Bernie's trumps all these other pretenders.

Biden is a proven liar and ridiculously creepy, Elizabeth Warren is a snake.

Pete is already corrupt and he's barely a big player and I think enough people can see it.

There is no viable competition to Bernie. And as for Mike Bloomberg. I'd vote for Mike Hawk before I'd vote for that spoiled rich brat. (Mike Hawk is a joke, get it?) No matter how much money he throws out there, even if it's 100 Billion, he won't resonate with the people. Bernie has a million volunteers.

Edit: changed "be" to "he"

Thanks for making me laugh.


But seriously. I created the coronavirus to erase all the whites. It's true. And since
All I had to do was create a virus that has 1.5 Antibody penetration stat.

And I would have gotten  away with it too if it weren't for these damn children racists.

edit: bad syntax

I'm Greek but I've lived Outside of Greece for 10 years.


I think that we should keep an open mind. As long at the laws are being upheld, we're very far away from a malthusian situation. Greece like a lot of the luckier countries is not in a terrible crisis at the moment.

Things will only get worse for people in the middle east thanks to climate change. Since we're luckier we should do what we can to accept immigrants into our country. My current country is the US and I think the same about here.

Some immigrants will commit crime. They start out in a real shitty situation. But in total I think they are a positive thing. I don't see a cultural threat due to immigrants. Greece has an awesome culture and even if we got millions of immigrants in the country that wouldn't change.

Hell, we get millions of tourists every summer and things work out fine.


Edit:

grammar +

If we're talking Syrian immigrants I had one in my class growing up and he was awesome. I remember one day he gave me some of his food, and even though Greek food is probably the best in the world his stuff was also really, really good. He's cool, he's got tons of friends and still lives in Athens.

OK, first off, I'm not rich. I had the opportunity and I took it and got a little bit of profit. But I didn't get in it for the $$$. What got me into bitcoin, possibly in that order is:

1. I can send it to anyone over the internet without being stopped. I wanted to donate to Wiki leaks.
2. It can't be printed or loaned into existence by the banks.

and

3. It can be mined by pretty much anyone (that was especially true when I got in).



Bitcoin may or may not have 100X in it. But you know what will lose 100X guaranteed in the coming years? Try every major currency.

And I do tell people what bitcoin will do for them in the future and what it does for them in the present. And it's not about price. Price can go up or down or sideways or whatever.

Bitcoin itself can blow up, although I don't believe that. But the idea of bitcoin, and the vision. That is something that can't be taken back.


Would you bet, right here and right now. 0.1 BTC or $800 (if you win) that bitcoin won't reach another ATH in the next 10 years?

I don't think you will. I know what the more likely scenario is.

I've watched bitcoin crash all the way from $8 to (Today's price)

Shuts them up.

Johnny English is a really good comedy/action movie. It also has a nice arc.

All the early Scary Movie movies were also fun. And I really liked Epic Movie despite half the jokes being bad. That movie (Epic Movie) has been torn apart by critics for every single reason, it's an unpopular opinion to think it's good but it just works. I'd recommend it.

The first X-Men movies were also very good.
