The moment it coalesced he was dead in the water there. He was only competitive if it was a split field via a plurality win here.
Bernie's coalition was proportional to the dem electorate because it shed conservative white and Hispanic voters relative to 2016. Not because it gained black voter support. And while the numbers were going overall across the board w all demos recently, even his best numbers with that group were still landing at or slightly above his 2016 levels at their highest points w/ black voters.I thought Bernie was doing well with black voters this time around.
Most voters are tribally loyal, low information, and heavily emotionally driven.
I'd be legit excited for Biden/Warren.Bernie peeps: is there a sky's the limit Biden VP pick that would soften the blow for you if he gets the nom?

sure <3
Maine being called this early is great news for Bernie.
I was worried we could see a NH situation where he ended up disappointing strongly from 2016.
Bernie won Vermont! Wasn't feeling too confident about that one, great sign!

God damn, Biden won 63% of black voters in Virginia, only 18% for Bernie
Yup. When myself and others were pointing out the issue with his campaign needing to win back a combination of conservative Bernie 2016 voters and Hillary 2016 voters to get a majority and that we just hadn't seen any signs of that....ever- it wasn't concern trolling.The DNC did what thr RNC didn't last time. They had everyone drop early before momentum built.
Bernies problem has always been expanding the coalition. He's been hovering 30 percent for awhile. That means 70 percent aren't choosing him. If that 70 percent is split five ways he can coast. If not it becomes an issue

I could live with that. I'm honestly dreading Biden at the top of the ticket and I need a great VP choice if he gets it.
I don't think they are misinformed. I'm black, and have a lot of black friends and family. They know what Bernie stands for and know what Biden stands for. Black voters have been and probably always will be super pragmatic. I've seen folks say that while they agree more with Bernie or Warren, they don't believe either could win a general election. It just is what it is.Y'all are not understanding just how big Biden is with older black people here in Virginia. I live near Norfolk and all I've been hearing is "Biden this and Biden that" and "If we vote Biden, it'll be like getting Obama back". I'm not saying black voters are idiots, but they are definitely misinformed.
And then lose it to Trump in the generalBiden's going to pull a Clinton and sweep the South, isn't he.
You ban baiting or something?Would you say that so especially true for black voters that you have to mention them specifically?

honestly still think a poc would be a bertter vp choice tbh. ether way, regardless of who wins there will be massive presure for a youngish vp.bernie or warren
if biden wins and names some goof like pete over warren it'll be a huge mistake
i think one of the worst things hillary did in 2016 was name tim kaine
