[Han Held]

I'm done with it. Normally, I wouldn't announce that I'm putting someone on ignore, but I am telling you so that you, perhaps, don't even bother trying to get a response from me in the future.

Peek?

You suddenly appeared and posted 120 29 messages in a day.

At least, that's from Tuesday 8:22 pm (my time) to Wednesday approx. the same time (I allowed the extra minute she took dropping the last post here). Admittednly, the majority of the posts were in the same thread, which might feel like 120.

As for 28 29 posts in a day being some sort of record... HAHAHA!

Well crap. At the time I looked she (?) had 135 posts, 15 of which were earlier than that day so I thought. I hadn't noticed the year. Most of the posts were actually from 2018.

Statement retracted.

The new basis for our system of government!

Not aimed at any of you. Just kinda appropriate when "he makes my skin crawl" and giggling millionaire news anchors is the level of coverage. A thoroughgoing lack of seriousness...

That's the first big one. Now it's time for several more to face facts.

A potential dropout. Not yet though.

Kamala Harris shutters offices throughout New Hampshire

The retrenchment comes amid a cash crunch that's triggered layoffs and a redeployment of staff to Iowa.

www.politico.com

Sen. Kamala Harris’ campaign has almost completely shuttered its New Hampshire campaign, with no visible activity at any of her offices in the state.

The campaign confirmed it is largely abandoning New Hampshire, keeping only a skeleton crew and canceling an upcoming visit. Harris also will not file in person to be on the ballot, a tradition that garners local media attention.

“The campaign has made a strategic decision to realign resources to go all-in on Iowa, resulting in office closures and staff realignments and reductions in New Hampshire,” said spokesman Nate Evans. “The campaign will continue to have a staff presence in New Hampshire but the focus is and will continue to be on Iowa.”

Not till enough primaries have made it clear who is likely to win the nomination, and maybe not even then. If you go all the way to the convention, you have some sway in party platform and such if you have significant delegates. If you have zero delegates halfway through the primary delegate count*, then yeah, time to drop out.

* Primaries award delegates in different numbers. At some point half the ~3,769 delegates would be assigned, but I don't know offhand how many primaries it will take to reach that point.

I hope whoever wins can wipe that smirk off his fat orange face.

Warren’s healthcare plan is absolute nonsense and I cannot believe anyone is taking it seriously. I had soured on her already, but I am in shock at how vague and wrong-headed it is.

Not before the convention, and I predict it will become a conventional race between the two of them, with Biden taking enough to prevent either of them from being able to win the first round of delegate voting outright. I predict that in the second round, depending on who's on top, either Sanders will ask his delegates to vote for Warren, or Warren will ask her delegates to vote for Biden.
