Polling 1-3% or whatever with black voters isn't overblown. But yes, he has time to address it. But not now as VP, IMO.

At least we haven't got any potentially world-ending events to worry about in the meantime. We can jus' chill, s'aaaall good.
Warren should not be VP, for the sole purpose of keeping the Senate dream alive.
Biden's legalization stance is political sleight of hand.
He's open to the idea but he thinks more research and science on the effects of marijuana needs to come out before he makes a decision.
The problem of course is that since marijuana is a Schedule 1 drug, the federal government in no way is going to help fund said research and anyone trying to conduct said research would be doing so at their own risk.
So the line of thinking goes like this:
Biden: I want more research done before we legalize.
Researchers: Okay, change the classification so we can research it.
B: Well, we don't have enough science for me to do that in good conscience.
R: But we can't research it if we're not allowed to...
B: Welp, guess there's no way to find out if it's not a terrible public risk, so status quo it is!
This. Warren not being on the ballot wouldn't have changed much, looking at the results so far.
Yeah 2020 isn't Bernie's year. It was 2016.
Oh god it's looking like a bloodbath for Bernie. I think Democrats just want a nominee and move on from the primary. Maybe it's time for Bernie to just dropout.

yea. She's a convenient scapegoat. We kind of sort of have a Bernie/Biden head to head right now with Bloomberg and Warren cancelling each other out.
That wasn't my point. My point was that the moderates began dropping out and rallying around their front running candidate.
I wasn't offended! Maybe others were or could've been, but I wasn't.
But in the interests of discussion, I'll double down on my prediction that deepfake videos and gifs are going to be spreading like wildfire during the GE, and I think Biden's gaffes are fodder for a lot of stuff that depicts him doing things far, far worse than he's actually done.
Even he wouldn't want to be VP for Biden, in my opinion - it's not the right move strategically. I could definitely see Secretary of State or something similar though.
What makes you think Bernie would have won in his stead, if he couldn't even beat Biden?
Yeah 2020 isn't Bernie's year. It was 2016.

Yeah, he won't drop out. He's going to raise another $150 million before the end of this race.
It's a special election, Warren won Kerry's seat when he became secretary of state
Edit: whoops, it was Scott Brown who won in 2010
Bernie got to see where he stood with voters in 2016 and saw what his weaknesses were. It's on him to shore up those weaknesses he saw in 2016
Bernie mega flopping. Don't buy into the hype of personality cults y'all.
Also, America's gigantic sexism issue is literally destroying your country. This is not sustainable and the country will learn this, one way or the other.

Well, the people will get who they vote for, I'll vote for the nominee even if they don't represent me in any actual capacity, even if it's Joe "vote for someone else" Biden.
If Trump wins again though, it just goes to show the DNC and conservative moderate democrats are willing to undermine the country and even the world to preserve the status quo.

Of course it is, because the country hasn't yet reached the level of societal collapse required for a revolution to be supported. Still too many people living cushy lives, afraid of change.
Over the next decade or two, we'll see what happens as late-stage capitalism becomes end-stage terminal capitalism.
fucking hell establishment didnt do shit. If Bernie was the better candidate, voters would have responded. He has name recognition, money, groundswell support, the works.
he lost cause the voters said "nah"
And armchair pundit 20-30 year olds that arrogantly think they've figured it all out by running the same candidate strategy that has failed for twenty years.
So...have we reached the state of "All hope is lost" yet?
Status quo continuing on for another generation?
Fuck.
Status quo continuing on for another generation?
Fuck.
And yet, somehow he didn't. I can't wait until we get an exposes on his campaign, gonna be really interesting to see what went on behind the scenes...
It really isn't over till we at least get a glimpse into Texas and Cali.
If we get a repeat of 2016 the democratic party needs to be turned upside down and inside out.
Based on how Fox News and Trump spin things, I honestly think they want Bernie. Either way they're going to trash the nominee with everything they have
It probably will. A similar schism was brewing with the republicans in 2016 because of Trump but then they won the election.
I swore last night I saw multiple "don't overhype the early states" articles stating to wait until the end of the night...
Yet, Era is already in meltdown mode.

Ah, so maybe the Markey /Kennedy drama could resolve there.
I'm getting there, his share of the black vote is just as anemic as it was in 2016.
Getting crushed by 50 points in a key demographic is not a way to a primary victory.
Have we not yet realized that Bloomberg could win the nom and Trump and Co would STILL call him a socialist? Reality and fact isn't a concern with those people...
She will be wrong, and let's not pretend should wouldn't run 3rd party as the "moderate" candidate against "crazy socialist Bernie."
