If the youth vote couldn't bother to show up for Bernie here, would they have even bothered on Election Night?

Biden will get the union votes at the very least. Win those states we never should have lost in 2016 and call it a day. Let's try for a progressive candidate in 2028 (oof).

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.
But if you lose the Democratic primary (people you need to win over) and many in the center and right think you are a dreaded "socialist"...you might not be the best candidate...I'm finding it hard to understand the argument that if Bernie loses he is still the best candidate against Trump...

At this point IRDGAF. If its Biden it's Biden. Come the General if Biden wins itll just be a sigh of relief and not triumph for half of the Dem electorate. TBH that makes more thematic sense. These things never have a happy ending.

Or he could lose and we get the Grim Dark ending that leaves your stomach in knots.

Maybe I missed some news but I havent seen Obama openly endorsing (or shitting over) anyone. That's classy.

Isn't that just the standard for former presidents? You don't see Carter or Clinton endorsing anyone either. Pretty sure their endorsements usually come at the convention or shortly after.

so wait, NYT needle is currently saying Biden wins 6 states and Sanders wins 8, including Texas and California. How is that a catastrophe for Sanders? I'm not sure I understand.

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

Yeah, fingers crossed that Bernie will pull though!

I'm a conservative Trump voter.

I will say this, Bernie would more than likely beat Trump. He represents a style of change that energizes the youth vote. If Bernie were to get the ticket, you'd probably see record youth vote, but from the looks of things, Bernie more than likely is losing to Biden. Biden will more than likely lose huge to Trump.

Bernie couldn't convince AA voters to vote for him. This is something they've had years to prepare for. This loss is on his campaign. Can't really blame voters here. I am really disappointed by the results so far :/

Why are you guys so scared of the presidential debates? When did Trump turn into a good debater all of a sudden?

Whoever wins between Biden and Bernie is clearly the better candidate for against Trump. If Bernie can't get the youth vote in the primaries why do you think it would be any different in the GE?

I'll be fine with whoever the nominee is. Blue no matter who

Biden is gonna get stomped in the general unless the economy collapses (which to be fair, may very well happen).

He basically tripped over to the nomination with the Democratic establishment and media playing all the dirty tricks they can to help him.
