    only surprise for me was that it was behind Biden and not Bloomberg or Buttigieg

    I mean... Biden was the one that was polling better all along.

    Biden just need to be close to Bernies delegate lead and that’s where Warren will play her card if she racks enough delegate to make up that difference for Biden.

    Warren is quite possibly the only thing preventing a Biden majority...

    That’s not true at all.

    That’s not true at all.

    Outside of Pete going all in in Iowa, the writing has been on the wall here.

    Idk why everyone genuinely thought Biden would drop before SC.

    All of the companies I’ve applied to (decent sized companies) all have insurance plans that the employer paid a big chunk of the premium. I’m sure there are some s*** companies but people need to take benefits into consideration when working at these companies.

    You’re probably right tho , I just haven’t seen it (I’ve never met anyone with insurance issues)

    Yeah my company pays for most of my premium, I paid about 1500 for health and dental last year not including my spending account. Looked it up and it looks like the actual average spent on health insurance alone is $5000 per person while the average cost is over $10k for the plan. So a good amount of employers are covering premiums, actually a bit more than I expected tbh.

    Looking at the ballot made me realize I need to pay more attention to local politics though

    As long as the GOP consolidates as well as they do, the chances of a third party being viable is just not that realistic.

    Oh I know. Actually, obama's stance on it was the one I agreed with the most aka dont call it "marriage" just call it literally anything else (civil union). Takes the "religious" aspect out of it, everyone equal, everyone happy. That was obviously too logical for most people though..

    But anyway, neither of those were that progressive of stances. one was a lie and the other was an empty platitude. McCAin and Obama were both fairly moderate

    Not wanting to pay for your college debts and your healthcare doesn’t make anyone stupid. It just means they don’t give two s***s about you

    Personally I dont have debt but cool they can suffer from it by choice! How awesome! No wonder the south is the poorest region of the country with the worst education and defunded social programs. Intelligencia!

    Is California one of those states that doesn't allow someone to run for Senate and President/VP at the same time?

    Also California voted to keep Dianne Feinstein as their senior Senator in 2018, I doubt they'd oust Officer Harris.

    I'm actually not sure to your first question

    And to your second point, that's fair, but the state is increasingly changing. So don't be so sure.
