Super Tuesday is here.

Keen to see whether Biden can claw his way into the lead on the Democrat ticket over Sanders, now that Buttigieg and Klobuchar have withdrawn* and backed Biden.

It’s just a matter of who Trump destroys the most.

Could well be the case if Biden gets up, who is pretty vanilla and thin on policy, but Sanders may prove to be the real wild card. Everyone seems to think he can't be a serious contender and incapable of upsetting the more established candidate, but they said the same thing about Trump four years ago and he confounded the critics. Without compulsory voting, anything's possible - the biggest voting bloc in the US is those that don't vote.

Biden looking good in the Super Tuesday stakes, so far. That said, Bloomberg has apparently won the prized six delegates from American Samoa.

TBH, Americans would be better off with Trump (who is just plainly ineffective) than Biden, who is just another neoliberal establishment puppet put in play to further entrench the US working class in poverty.

One can only pray that Americans cannot be crazy enough to elect the Dump Truck again though. I guess that if they do, they get the President they deserve :roll:

Yes, they are far far better, but then again even my two year old niece would be a better president than Trump.

It would be nice if people voted on policies, rather than on personalities.

Yep, looks like someone else will have to take up Bernie's revolution, I suspect he'll be past it four years from now.
