    Yes, I do understand how tax brackets work, and still say its too much money

    Id be happy paying the 4% more if I could somehow control where part of my taxes went. I dont want to pay for health care for illegal aliens

    Oh ya I thought u meant in the primary

    Well yes there’s a lot of ballgame yet to play. But again, that analogy isn’t precise - Florida’s relationship to Castro (seniors, cubans) is distinct from trump, a dumbass narcissist carny, braying about Putin. Voters apparently decided to put his obnoxious personality aside

    To me a human being is a human being and at the end of the day I’d hope any country would help out a human being who is sick. Regardless the undocumented immigrant population is estimated to be about 3% of the US and I would rather see that 97% is taken care of even if it means taking care of undocumented people as well.

    I didn’t mean to call you out about tax brackets, I know we have differing ideologies and neither of us is gonna convince the other, I just feel like the way that statistic is often presented is misleading.

    Me personally, there is a lot I can use that extra money for to better my families life, so I would prefer to bring it home. If I was in the position to donate more/be taxed more I could see myself being ok with it. I do think that, regarding health insuance and the health business, that they should be monitored much more. They are profiting off of people who need wheelchairs for example and that shouldnt be right. Theres no reason health insurance should be as expensive as it is

    And yes, I get that and didnt mean to sound agressive in my response. All love bro :wub:

    Probability of a contested convention sits at 52% via FiveThirtyEight & is by far the most likely outcome. The second most likely outcome is Sanders winning a majority of pledged delegates (30%).

    FiveThirtyEight odds for winning a majority of pledged delegates:

    no one (contested convention) - 59%
    Sanders - 27%
    Biden - 14%

    I’m honestly pretty surprised, figured he’d at least go through Super Tuesday.

    All I know is that if it’s a contested convention it’s gonna be a shitshow no matter what the outcome is.

    I wonder how much SC is gonna re-energize Joe’s campaign. Definitely a good look for him to win like that a few days before Super Tuesday but I spose we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

    Yeah, I rather either Sanders or Biden win it outright than have to go through a contested convention. That’s just going to be a total f---ing circus.

    I’m sure Biden offered him VP. Which effectively makes him president if Biden wins since Biden is senile

    Yeah I figured he may have offered him some sort of cabinet position cuz it feels so sudden. Smart move if true cuz a good chunk of Pete’s voters will prob go for Biden. Truly does change the game come Tuesday.

    If only Sanders/Warren would follow suit :emoji_sweat:

    threeway race for third with warren and bloomberg with most polls. He ran out of his money, though. Spent it all on Iowa and NH

    He did well in early white bread states but it became clear fast he has no appeal to black or Latino voters which is pretty crucial to win the democratic nom

    Klobuchar out too and she endorsed Biden. Figured that was coming soon too with Pete dropping out.

    Notice how those two dropped out but warren is staying in with almost no chances? Seems fishy to me since warren overlaps with Bernie a fair amount.
    I wouldn’t be shocked if there has been collusion between Pete Klob Warren and Biden for VP and cabinet positions
