  • They’re “getting this” from reality. Delegates are not legally bound to vote for whomever they’ve pledged to support from the primaries. It is strongly encouraged to do so, but whether they actually do is a matter of norms rather than an enforceable law. And a handful of delegates have voted other than their pledge numerous times in the past.

    There’s nothing stopping delegates from deciding to vote for whoever they’d like. And if enough of them can be convinced to nominate someone other than Biden, that’s the actual nominee. Primaries don’t actually matter other than serving as a way to influence the national convention: who the delegates vote for at the national convention is all that matters, and they are not legally bound to their pledge.




  • I did answer your question. Look around yourself at all the people that work outside for a living in temperatures much hotter than 79 degrees. Or think about all of human history before the advent of the air conditioner. Or the large segments of the global population that live in tropical climates without AC.

    The fact that you become dehydrated “quickly” in 79 degree weather honestly might be a medical condition. Were I you, I would consult your doctor. Unless you’re fairly obese, the fact you’re saying you sweat so much you become dehydrated in mildly warm weather is concerning.









  • Biden got fucking body slammed in this debate. It doesn’t matter that Trump is nonsensical. No one expected him to make sense. Biden just looked weak, confused, and mumbled his way through most of the debate.

    I can’t see how this possibly convinced anyone to vote for Biden. But I can definitely see how it probably demoralized democratic voters. This is just so awkward to watch.
