Well, would you look at that? No matter. Bernie will pin him to a wall and send his billions raining down on the people like the end of whatever movie ends with raining money.

It's from the last election, but I believe it's still there. I'll drive by tomorrow and check it out.

This bit stood out to me from CNN's exit polls.  Both as proof of how much the narrative building around Iowa matters, and of the nature of Bernie voters vs everyone else.

New Hampshire has demonstrated that the time is now upon us to unite under Sanders. He is the only candidate with a reasonable path forward. If you give the DNC the chance to screwjob, you will end up with Buttigieg or god fucking forbid Bloomberg. Which actually means a Trump landslide, unless all that fast food suddenly catches up with him.

Follow the voters of NH and elect a candidate who gives a shit about the survival of the human species. We've had a good dozen attempts at an anti-Bernie campaign, and they have all failed to so much as articulate an alternative let alone demonstrate any ability to beat Trump after he goes up on stage and calls them one of any various slurs on national TV.

Forget the nonsense of the past year. There is now clearly only one viable candidate. Pete is so much a flash in the pan borne of anti-Sanders desperation, also he's an empty suit full of void. The Klob, bless her vote splitting heart, is a Republican. Biden, jesus christ. Warren is out of money and out of time. I still don't know why Steyer is here to begin with.

Do not walk a path that ends with Michael Bloomberg's rotten aura hanging over the DNC, Bay 12. Do not do it. I will not forgive.

This is not a gloat post. I barely feel like celebrating anything anymore, even with a hard-won victory, because the stakes will be dealt out in innocent blood.

Bernie 2020, or dust.

After Biden went into his surprising though not completely unpredictable flat spin as the center candidate, the media turned Buttigieg into their darling. They pretended he won Iowa and frankly they're pretending he won NH too. Not, I suspect, Plan A. Or even Plan C, for that matter. Fortunately, some wind is out of his sails now that the first two are over - he spent generously in these states.

The corporations will try their hardest to steer voters without total commitment into any non-Sanders candidate who appears vaguely possible. That's been the pattern for the last year, to greater or lesser degrees.

Buttigieg has always been pretty likable (except to people who buy into the CIA bullshit conspiracy theories). It's just that nobody thought he had a chance to win. He's pretty inoffensive as far as politicians go, and he's as much of an outsider as you can get without going full on billionaire self funder. It's a good mix.

Eh, he's the most funded by billionaires tho. I would not call him am outsider by any metric other than not having been in the federal government before.

Also, and this is super notable, he polls at ~0% with black voters. Biden and Bernie stand a better shot against Trump because of their wider appeal in this regard.
