A conspiracy or just California being slow to count since google tells me they still had over 3million votes left to count on Thursday.
And saying 'but AP did' is probably a little silly when they apparently called it before a single vote was counted

How is the saying the premier election projection desk in the country (typically news stations just report their calls with confirmation from their own desks) called the race silly?
For context from WaPo's vote count:
The discrepancies in reported results should give people pause.

Mississipi and Missouri called for Biden as polls close, Missouri was a 0.3% win for Clinton last time.

In terms of how negatively I view them:
1. Bloomberg
2. Buttigieg
*A huge gap*
...
...
3. Warren
4. Klobuchar
5. Biden

Out of curiosity where would Clinton land on that list?

Clinton would be tied with Pete. I can't say I hate either of them less than the other.

Why Warren over Klobuchar or Biden?

Ok thanks.
Also 450k votes in Biden's up around 8 points in Michigan, still a lot more vote to go but it doesn't look good for Sanders. (According to Wapo since for some reason counting vote seems relative in the US news world)
|
Have people seen the clip of Biden telling that Michigan voter he was full of shit and threatening to slap him?
|
Yeah, I've already brought it up to someone who said Biden was going to make the White House SO much more dignified when he wins.
Glad we're going to have two doddering fossilized children running for the countrys highest office.

Michigan has been called for Biden, currently 12% up with 35% repporting. I don't think Sanders is winning another non-caucus state, he might give it up in the next days.

TBH I am really hoping that if Biden wins the nomination he threatens to take Trump behind the Gym and rough him up, or something ridiculous and it comes to blows. While Trump for sure has the weight advantage I would not be surprised if even Biden could take him. And either way it would be hilarious TV (albeit depressing on many levels).
Televise it and call it a debate and we'd reach peak America

During their debate, I can see Trump, after being on a insulting Hunter spree for 30 mins, accidentally insulting and making fun of Biden's dead son Beau too, then Biden snapping and strangling Trump live on stage while secret service can't interfere because they are bound to protect both candidates. Then Biden goes to jail after and both parties suddenly have no primary candidate.

Yeah. The anti-Sanders movement coalesced surprisingly quickly around, who they all would of agreed was one of the worst among them previously, the (mistaken imo) opinion that Biden can beat Trump. Going to be increasingly embarrassing and hypocritical for Democrats to support Biden for any reason other than he's not Trump and I almost feel bad for them.
I suppose there's the wildcard of the pandemic and global economic shock which works in favor of an argument for a "return to normalcy".
Hard to say what happens with Sanders and his supporters though.

Yeah I loved it. I want politicians to engage like he did. I want ideas like that guy shit out to be smashed into bits and treated with disdain. The media give stupid ideas too much credit nowadays under the guise of objectivity. Sometimes there's a dumbass and a not dumbass.
I saw the video and 2 thumbs up from me. Biden pointed out people already don't have machine guns, then said we already limit free speech because rights can't be absolute. Works for me.

hahaha
But, I'm seriously a bit unsure if televise debate are actually going to happen if Trump decide he doesn't feel like it, although I guess it's the kind of thing he love.
Also Biden apparently has a 20% lead with women in Michigan according to entry polls according to exit polls, perhaps Warren staying in would actually have help Sanders.
