This dreaded day has come sooner than expected: Bernie Sanders has bowed out of the race for the Democratic Presidential nominee to make way for Joe Biden. I can’t say it’s completely unexpected. Despite neither Joe or Bernie being close to the 1,990 delegate threshold to clinch the nomination (1,217 to 914 at this moment, …

The other night, I was watching videos about cyberpunk games made for the Japanese PC-98 computer system and it spurred me to remember the song “Mad Machine” from the ’80s anime Bubblegum Crisis that I watched about twenty years ago. I’d searched specifically for this song many years ago and could not find a clean …

I was tempted to make the body of this post just “LOL” but I changed my mind. Tulsi Gabbard impressed me back in the 2016 election. She was the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee under Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Tulsi voluntarily stepped down from her position and publicly announced that it was due to …

As expected, Joe Biden dominated the night and won all the states that allowed voting (Ohio was also scheduled to vote but is postponing their election due to the coronavirus). His biggest lead was of course in Florida, which has both a significantly large older voting demographic and Cuban population that are not happy with …
Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden had their first chance to go mano a mano in a debate. Arguably, it was the most consequential debate for Bernie this election cycle. If he did not get a powerful win over Joe, then there is basically nothing that would save him from losing. But Bernie did not get …
Bernie Sanders probably needed to win big in tonight’s prize state of Michigan in order to recover from last week’s Biden domination, but it didn’t pan out. Even now, it’s not theoretically impossible for Bernie to take the lead, but the pattern is pretty clear that in the end Joe Biden is going to win …
Liz is out. This is incredible. If you had asked me a week ago, Joe Biden was toast, not even in the top half of the running moderates, but now he’s the undisputed king and even Bernie Sanders is the underdog. Definitely Joe’s race to lose at this point, but I think his nomination is …

Bloomberg made his smartest decision since he entered the race by dropping out. Joe Biden’s lead is pretty well established now. It would be difficult for Bernie Sanders to catch up. At this time, Biden has a 65 delegate lead over Bernie. Assuming Warren hadn’t run and all of her delegates went to Bernie instead …

The votes haven’t been fully tallied up yet, but Joe Biden is clearly looking to become the big winner. Bernie Sanders earning a majority of votes to avoid a brokered convention is out of the question (and probably a mathematical impossibility), but he may still be able to pull off a plurality. Unfortunately for Bernie, …
