"The DNC" does not spend money backing anyone in the primary. They are not allowed to.We frankly need to restructure the dnc which is something bernie could have done. progressives don't win because the dnc always backs the moderate and the progressive just gets drowned out because all of the money dnc is spending on moderate. Its a major hurdle in getting progressives into congress.
No doubt but Democrats aren't automatically going to get my vote if they show 0 interest in actually helping. Don't want to hear some pandering bullshit either. Need to see some actual plans/legislation.
Nah Wisconsin is gone.
Dems will need to win one of Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, which Biden polls well for but are all dicey. Pennsylvania and Michigan will likely flip blue.
It's absolutely awful. And I have to deal with the next eight months of people here shoving him down my throat and if I don't like it I'm a monster.
The media. Biden got the Obama coattail and favorable coverage. Bernie had to hustle irl, get his momentum erased, and have pundits show utter disdain for him with millions of viewers watching for years now. It's going to have an effect on people over time.We worked our asses off.
Biden literally just had to roll out of bed.
What kind of reality is this
Or maybe she actually believed she would win. Besides, I think people need to stop blaming her for tonight results so far. People didn't vote for Bernie and that's that. Maybe you should ask why? It will be difficult to find the answer for it, but I guess the dems base are not ready for more progressive candidates yet. Or maybe people just thought he would not be a good fit against Trump. Or POC are not comfortable with Bernie color blind attitude and his past behavior with racial issues. It's hard to quantify from the results alone.Warren got clowned by Trump with the whole DNA test bit
Warren got used as a tool by billionaire elites to help take down the progressive causes she supports
Seems to me Warren sort of suck at politics.
yesI can't tell if this is a bad speech with bad audio or an average speech with terrible audio.
IIRC they interrupted a Bernie rally and went topless on stage the last time they popped up.
This was beyond confirmed when she created a website with a documentary short about her alleged native american ancestry based on DNA results that amounted to little more than statistical noise.Warren would've gotten destroyed in a GE. Her political instincts are some of the worse in this country.
May I ask why you three feel that way, given Bernie and Warren's only real difference is the rhetoric with which they aim to deliver the same policies?
Exit polling at tonight's contests prove otherwise. There has been no state thus far where an abolition of private insurance wasn't supported by a majority of voters, and that's given the right wing wording of the furthest-left policy on the platform.
Pretty sure the succession amendment explicitly says you have to be eligible for presidency to be VP.
Imagine how different this whole thing would've been if she took Bernie's advice 5 years ago.It's almost like selling out one of their key ideals was telling when it comes to the integrity of a candidate and they along with their voters will reap what they sewed.
Winners of a state don't take every delegate lol.So I counted up the delegates for Super Tuesday listed on the NYT nettle and the states Biden and Bernie are projected to win.
Biden will have 559 delegates in the end.
Bernie will have 779 delegates in the end.
So, here is some hope for Era. Bernie fans let's not give up hope yet. Looks like Bernie will be walking out of Super Tuesday with a win!
Everyone here thinks Warren is the only reason Bernie isn't going to be president.
This is fucking nightmare.
He already won Alabama.
IIRC they interrupted a Bernie rally and went topless on stage the last time they popped up.
Hmmm. It's as if Bernie had an even an ounce of flex in him, he'd be able persuade like-minded candidates to further his cause. It doesn't say much for him as a politician that even his ideological peers have no interest in creating a coalition around him.
Calling minorities and the broad coalition that voted for Biden today morons doesn't seem very nice...
That's....not the same thing at all. One is pie in the sky immediate eyeroll bullshit.Honestly its a good line. The one thing Democrats should take from Trump is to just overpromise on fucking everything, deliver on none of it while pretending like you got the job done.
And that's the black ass truth. Dude's whole campaign was "y'all better not ask me for shit"Catch me in November if Biden wins. I'll vote for him, but I'm not doing any campaigning and stuff. Better off spending that time investing in myself, cause Biden won't invest in us.
Weird... Thought I was... Math is hard.
this is fucking killing me. people wanted to vote for this!?
this says everything about how far we gotta go
#VoteBlueNoMatterWhoExceptBernieIt's absolutely awful. And I have to deal with the next eight months of people here shoving him down my throat and if I don't like it I'm a monster.
This is the attitude to have and I'm on the same mindset. Biden will so better than Hillary, and that's a win for everyone.I wanted Bernie to win but I'm fine with Biden since it will put Florida in play and 100% expect him to do better than Hillary based on the fact that he is beating Bernie in states that Bernie beat Hillary in.
What if it's not going that way and you have to make a choice. Do nothing and watch it all get worse or stem the tide.So many of you are way too comfortable with settling for anything that isn't trump. what if you didn't need to settle and could actually choose someone good.
