Yes but I also remember the countless anti-Bernie threads. Peoples' blood was boiling over the guy. So many Hillary logo Avis. That horrible, horrible MS Paint created logo...

Democratic Presidential Primaries & Caucuses |March OT| Last Tuesday was 1000 years ago, old news no one cares about (Discussion Guidelines in OP)

Both hoped for a miracle, neither got it. Also Amy will be especially embarrassed if she loses MN without dropping out first.
Also, there very well might have been strategy involved, but the strategy is the candidates themselves acting in a way to ingratiate themselves to who they think will be the eventual winner. That's not the DNC coming in and rigging the race, that's the very nature of politics.
The party itself doesn't nominate a candidate, the party's members and supporters too.
I guess my confusion is why it should be seen as nefarious? It's just the way politics is done. I dunno.
I also remember the countless anti-hillary threads including Bernie supporters that are still on this forum, were cheering on Project Vertias back then.
Hillary was and is terrible; trying to dismiss criticism of her as "Project Veritas conspiracy theories" is bullshit. And nothing you said proves Bernie folks weren't persecuted.
The delegate count here would make me think there'd almost have to be a Bernie/Biden ticket to ameliorate the division, even though neither candidate would want the other to balance out their ticket.
We should be more worried about rando hot takes according to this thread.
I don't think it is nefarious, and at the same time I don't think you need outside actors exerting pressure for Pete and Amy to make the decisions they made.
Because many moderates do a job in the interest of the insurance industry. It's their fault people rate their health plan highly when the people keep getting told by these same democrats that they're going to lose something they love. They're manufacturing consent. If they truly cared about the people they wouldn't make this argument. Instead everyone would sign on to this plan, and debate other topics. That doesn't happen though for obvious reasons.
So did I. Bernie supporters were everywhere, and like I said, he won the OT poll handily. The support for Hillary was the Poli said of things mad because Bernie was mathematically eliminated but kept going. It was clear he wasn't going to win by like the end of March, but he stayed in just to keep attacking Hillary. We also had people spamming OT with articles from Breitbart and Project Veritas in full on anti-Hillary mode.
So again, historical revisionism. You keep on that persecution complex, it does wonders for garnering support.
I guess you are one of the people that still beleives the Clinton Foundation was a scam too, or were you one of the poeple that uniroinically posted Beritbart articles? Or the Washingon Examiner?
In some polls. She might've lost it. Had a better chance than Warren does with Mass.
"you know... the thing" might be the perfect biden quote from this cycle
Entirely agree. There might have been a silent majority of Bernie supporters who voted in polls, but for anybody actually trying to engage in conversation it was absurdly toxic. To reframe that narrative now is incredibly dishonest.
Pretty much where I am now. Not particularly shocked, but this does make results tomorrow a lot more uncertain.
Main reason they droped out before ST is so even if Bernie does well tomorrow night, they can say "It is a new race regardless" and dismiss any of his wins.
Yes, it was the hillary supporters posting about Project Vertias, posting Breitbart articles, all to gaslight Bernie supports from 2016.
As cringey as it sounds, I'd much rather see that if it assures that it leads to a progressive millennial/gen Z voting bloc upon seeing the results of what high turnout does to the polls
Honestly, this isn't a horrible idea.
Keep Biden as VP for eternity 😂
That really should have no bearing on who you support (I'm assuming you and other posters here considering these posts are only reaching era posters). It's the same when people complain about "you guys being so sjw is making me consider voting for Trump!" You either stand for things or you don't. A poster of which has nothing to do with your moral stance on issues should not affect your vote.
Sure in general these things affect votes, but I think people here should know better.
If Sanders became his VP, would it be seen as a uniting move? Or would the base see it as a betrayal?
Even if Biden has been having trouble, he is still a better candidate than Hillary and has much less baggage. The main issue is the policy side of things. I really hope Joe does a good job at pushing policies that a Bernie supporter is wanting.
2016 broke every one of us and the wounds will never heal because we will never agree why it happened.
So we've got people already making excuses for Biden, talking points against M4A and Clinton apologists.
That's why I laugh when somebody - anybody - claims this is a Left-leaning progressive forum. Outside of identity politics - which I agree is important - this board is largely populated by moderate Democrats.
That said, I have no choice to vote for whoever gets the nomination, even if that person is Joe Fucking Biden.

A Biden/Bernie ticket would play over way worse than a Bernie/Biden ticket imo
This honestly wouldn't surprise me. Folks in Minnesota who were voting for Amy weren't doing it because they thought she was going to win President, it's because they like her and shes from Minnesota.
I don't think she'll actually win the state but it wouldn't surprise me if she still got 20% of the vote especially given early voting. Minnesota has like 50 days worth of early voting, its pretty wild.
Im sorry if im not going to accept being Gaslighted by notable posters who know what they are doing.
No, I am not. You know, I'd rather you not talk to me.
Dude, there were so many shitty Hillary fans on GAF during the primary. So, so many. I know all we can do is compare anecdotes but it got ridiculous. Link to the poll, would honestly be curious to read the thread. Couldn't find it in my search.
Can someone point me to Bernie specifically praising Castro rather than just saying almost exactly the same thing about Cuba's education system that Obama did? Because if he did the former, I haven't seen it.
We've been repeatedly squirting out 2016 and reconsuming it in a human centipede. At no point will 2016 be all out.
Actually, scratch that, if Bernie loses 2020 will replace 2016 as the topic of choice.
Obama's official stance is he's going to endorse the winner to try and do some unity. Of course, trying to do some unity with Republicans was a big part of his 2008 campaign, and we see how successful that was, so I'm not sure it'll go over great in this situation either.
Instead you're going to try to accuse me of posting Breitbart and Washington Examiner articles? Please. You're not a victim.
