Yes if there's one thing we are all witnessing tonight it's the power of Elizabeth Warren.

Incredible backroom machinations by Obama and the DNC
He formed Moderate Voltron but kept Warren in to split the vote with Bernie
And even then, they have Bloomberg waiting in the wings to make Biden more palatable to the voters
All the cards are stacked against my boy but he can pull it through, I believe

I'm just happy Bloomberg wasted all that money for nothing. :) Eat the rich.
Not happy about Biden, but I will vote for whoever wins the nomination.

People HATED Hillary. I don't think there's nearly as much venom like that towards Biden.
Maybe I missed some news but I havent seen Obama openly endorsing (or shitting over) anyone. That's classy. At the same time every now and then there is Hillary being Hillary. Bernie campaigned for her 4 years ago and now all she can do is shit on him. What a sad end for her.
I wonder how many people were influenced by the "Bernie cant beat Trump" thing coming to Super Tuesday. And well, people often decide their votes in the last minute and we got 2 candidates dropping out and endorsing Biden. Perfect timing for a boost.

Rising tides doesn't raise all boats when ours has 30 holes in it.
That was me last time once the Republican side was already decided early on. I wasn't high on Sanders, but he was the best option left.
I don't see Biden beating Trump. Trump's base love him, the economy is "good enough", and Biden excites no one. Biden's entire play seems to be to got back to the way things were in 2015. Ads of Biden being a creepy fuck will be blazing 24/7. Hunter Biden will be on the lips of news hosts constantly. I just don't see Biden getting over those hurdles.
People don't know labels for shit. Policy means more than "liberal or moderate".
Maybe we should try to hold our candidates responsible when they lie?
As somebody who loves the idea of online voting holy shit is this a boomer take. The youth vote wasn't the dominant group 15 years ago either.
FUCK FUCK FUCK
Jayapal, Tlaib, and Khanna all come to mind. Pressley's ok but idk as much about her. Idk if Biden will serve a full term (as somebody who regularly says Bernie's VP choice is very important because they may be the next president) so a young extremely progressive PoC would be an amazing choice as a compromise between the centrist and left wings of the party.
Warren would at least make me consider going to vote in November.
I mean the primary and the general are 2 very different things. Just because you win the primary doesn't mean youre the best option for the general.
Yeah, this is pretty much exactly what these results are telling us.
This isn't a very good argument if your guy is the guy who couldn't win the primary in 2016.
People are excited for the Obama candidate because most associate the Obama era as a good era. Biden has that going for him.
On the other hand, Bernie knew he has issues appealing to large parts of the democratic base thanks to his run in 2016 and, at least with African American voters, he seems to have failed to appeal to them.
I'll vote for a dem come November regardless but it isn't hard to see why people want Biden
How exactly is Bernie going to smack down Trump is he can't even get enough enthusiasm to beat Biden? Like, where is the logic here?
Damn Biden, really impressed how he earned those votes with NO ground game and a simple association with Obama, + a bailout from establishment dems at the right time.
Inspiring story.
Inspiring story.
Enough with the conspiracies.... Sanders disappointing both of us but this is politics
destroyer of nations, some fear to speak the name lest retribution come to them and their people
Maybe. Maybe not. Biden is expanding the Dem voting base and getting people that carried 2018 for Dems. If he does that, he wins the general without much issue.
Old people are reliable voters, you simply can't get destroyed with old voters and rely on the unreliable youth vote.
and also has seemingly made the exact same campaigning mistakes in 2020....

Looking forward to personally re-electing Trump by not voting for Biden.
Felt like the whole Sanders vs Warren thing was cooked up as an excuse for her to stay in the race against Bernie.
Bloomberg is going to drop out soon one would imagine if he continues underperforming as poorly as he did in VA and NC.
If he can't beat Biden then they were right. Bernie's whole point was a movement or revolution that would basically gazump the political establishment. As we watch this play doesn't look like it was based on reality. I means he's underperforming in his home state.
Welp, it's 2016 again in regards to Sanders just getting crushed from key demos of the Dem party.
I said a few weeks ago, that while Sanders wasn't my preferred, I was looking forward to a Super Tuesday where he was the clear nominee comes out on top and can basically "ice" the primary. I just wanted a clear front runner and a delegate lead that wasn't really surmountable.

Could easily be too early for this, need to wait for CA and TX margins, but seeing the demographic exits...
