Weird fight between adamant Warren supporters and adamant Bernie supporters on Twitter. Don't know who started it, don't really care. Polls show both candidates' supporters have the other as their second choice anyway. It's insignificant.
Nope. Warren supporters lashing out at being inundated by calls for her to drop out since last night.
Warren staffer made a comment in Texas implying her end game is leeching delegates off of Bernie to have bargaining power in July, Berners got upset (rightfully so IMO) and started #DropOutWarren to push for her to drop out and endorse Bernie (never happening btw), Warren supporters and others shot back with #DropOutBernie to imply the frontrunner should drop out because he's unelectable, unpopular, etc (all things that have been disproven in the last 3 weeks).
I don't see a situation where Bernie gets 40% of the delegates as being something to worry about. In that case Bernie will get the nom. He will likely have to compromise deeply, probably pre-announce some cabinet picks and be assigned a VP, but that's an easy enough range to justify him getting the supers.
Yes it makes much more sense for the person who's won multiple states to drop out compared to the person who's gonna lose their home state and hasn't even placed 2nd in any of the first 4 states :p
FWIW I'm not endorsing people telling her to drop out and can see how they're annoying, just saying
Because he lost SC. The same reason ridiculous things trend after every primary.
Well Bernie was never even within striking distance in 2016. He's the frontrunner now and as much as online leftists like to say otherwise they're still closer in policy than anyone else.
He was in Massachusetts where her endorsement would have mattered. He lost by a point or two.
We'll know soon enough if she'll endorse. If she doesn't drop out after Super Tuesday, she'll probably never endorse him.
It's not about making sense, it's about growing tired of not being able to discuss anything about your candidate on Twitter without a Bernie supporter telling you she should drop out.
Ok if he won MA he still would have lost lol.
And why do you say that about your 2nd point? Bernie continued after he was mathematically eliminated and still endorsed Clinton.
Oh boy, I made a joke about that and conservative Brazilian Twitter was nooot happy. Never been called so many homophobic slurs (and I'm not even gay?).
People are starting to worry more that he is a bad general election candidate. The last debate really hurt him.
I mean, yeah.
If Bernie becomes the nominee then of course she'll endorse, but not before is what I'm saying.
Warren will probably not be dropping out anytime soon. She was campaigning in Washington state like a week ago which votes after Super Tuesday. Next week she's going to be in Michigan (another state that votes after ST).
Lots and lots of wishful thinking.
Now this is my kind of wishful thinking.
But... polling indicated that a lot of people thought his debate performance was pretty good.
I still think she'll endorse him before the convention starts. I don't think she'll continue all the way through June but I could be wrong.
Yeah, not even Neoliberal Twitter thought Bernie had a rough performance on that debate. He was fine at worst.
What Biden is probably hoping for right now is that he does well enough to drive Bloomberg out of the primary to get his old vote share back while keeping the bleeding to a minimum. Of course, Bloomer's perfectly financially capable of staying in the primary as long as he'd like so it's really a question of whether the repeated embarrassments are something his ego can live with, whether he's so narcissistic as to think that he could turn things around, or whether his hatred of Bernie outweighs his narcissism. On top of that he probably feels slighted by Biden's attacks in the debates, because he's kinda a narcissist. Add that on the pile.
Hilarious that he came in because he was afraid Warren would win and he might be the key to Bernie's victory.

don't take it personally, they're just mad because their strong fascist daddy got cucked
oh, i have mine set to "worldwide", because i like to stay informed about what's happening across the planet, and also because i'm a dale "mr. worldwide" pitbull stan.
...worldwide twitter trends seem to basically just be football or kpop though....
Twitter is a very specific slice of the electorate, trending hashtags don't mean shit
Oh, I'm not taking it personally at all, I am Brazilian actually. Just that I really didn't expect the vitriol for a silly joke about the President potentially being a cuckold.
I still can't get over the irony of Bloomberg entering the race to stop Bernie but in reality he'll only be helping Bernie by leeching Biden's votes.
Yeah, this is a justification entirely fabricated from wholecloth
He came in during Warren's rise to the top. Bernie wasn't on his radar, but now he most certainly is.
There's still a real chance that Biden underperforms his polling in multiple states like he did in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Recent polling for him will for sure will be muted by early voting so I'd use caution in relying on them.
My real life reaction actually mirrored Jordan's here after reading that
This is what I'm hoping for. Plz be true. Bernie has the ground game in ST states, right?
And isn't there something special with California and Texas? like Bernie can potentially take home all the delegates from water both of those states because of their rules?
There's the possibility for both. As mentioned above, you have to take into account the early voting and also the fact that he has had no real presence or infrastructure in ST states. And Bloomberg is a big question mark.
Could it be that IA and Nevada, being caucuses, depressed Biden's turnout more but SC is more a reflective of the wider Democratic vote? NH does not count cause frankly Bernie should get it in the bag.
does this mean that warren will sacrifice her supporters to the lord of plans
The one true Qween. Protecting the realm from the Great Blunder. Ready to sacrifice her Nissa Nissa in order to set Planbringer alight.
And why would SC be representative of the rest of the country?
Winning in the south is pointless in the general. It's the battleground states that matter.
