Why are the primaries so spread out? I can't even vote early for another two weeks and this is as good as done.

None of these really deal with how the children camps popped up which was a lack of resources towards detentions centers for parentless children.
Yea. Them. They better come out and vote or else we are F'd.
No, my point is that saying people should be making moral sacrifices for "electability" is exactly the same sort of shit the Bernie campaign was supposed to be against.
An argument that Biden will scare people away from the polls because "he's going to take away their guns" is fucking laughable coming from a campaign that said every other left-wing issue is non-negotiable.
I wonder if the Harris VP stuff will start to pick up steam again.
Apologies to the poster who created this.. but I took a screen cap of it previously. Here are Biden's policies. There's a lot of good stuff in here, even if it isn't as far left as Bernie. A lot of these actually seem realistic too.
These are all good and a step in the right direction. Bernie's plans are obviously much more comprehensive and take it a huge leap further, but are likely much more difficult to pass. Yea Biden is bordering on incomprehensible, but he's infinitely better than fucking Trump.
Relax bro, America will be here long after Trump is in the ground.
Did you listen to Biden's response in that video? That was the point of posting it.
And on the subject of Biden swearing at a voter, I don't think it's too much to ask the potential future president to possess some level of civility when talking to their constituents. It's really not a tough ask, the bar should be set somewhere.
An arsehole that campaigned hard for Hillary? ok...sure, I guess?
Man was hoping for Bernie, these fuckin old people man. I'll still vote for him here in IL even tho it seems lost.
After this I'll vote Biden and D all the way down the ballot but I'm probably not watching debates anymore. I think Biden can win this but I dont really care to watch it.
Prob gonna avoid these threads too because honestly, some of the ridiculous doom and gloom I feel is effecting me way more than it should.

If only there were a way to not get 4 more years of trump...hmmmm
Yea gotta admit this. That's just how Democracy works. Though I think it has less to do with Bernies campaign and more of people just being scared shitless of another Trump term. I hope the progressive moment doesn't die with him tonight. Especially when a "young voter" did show up in both 2016 and this primary.
It's not at all common for a nominee to pick a fellow candidate, but for once she does fit the bill (apart from not being from a swing state).
I'm more than ok with President Biden. I just want someone to fucking beat Trump, and I can see him doing it.
He was talking about current economic policies, when she asked him about current tax cuts to lure corporations. If I'm remembering right.
There was an ongoing discussion on another site that his VP will be someone they'll be grooming as their presidential heir apparent which this would fit perfectly at.
she did. I think she's a bit inexperienced, but overall would be a good choice.
America probably won't be around by the end of the decade. We are witnessing the collapse of an empire in real time.
id prefer booker as well, he's got some really good ideas about policy he talked about when he was still on the debate stage
If Trump wins against Biden it's because Biden's a shit candidate
This.
I'm sorry, but some of you are NOT seeing what's going on out there. Some of you are underestimating Trump and his conservative machine. But Bernie cuts through that bullshit. I'm sorry, but if Biden is the nominee, we are in for more Trump.
PS: Bernies chances aren't that great either.
Except they've both shown an ability to play within the system that Bernie has never shown. Like, he is flawed in a way that these two, AOC especially, are not. Pressley, for example, has already crafted legislation that would make student debt not count toward a person's credit score. It's a small thing that will help hundreds, if not thousands, of people. It won't fix the issue, but it'll help. They've shown a willingness to take smaller victories, to coalition build and make allies, that Bernie hasn't. I wanted him to win after Warren showed she couldn't, but I won't pretend he also didn't have his issues.
Everyone running had gigantic issues, honestly it scares the shit out of me that this was the best we could do.
I'm not sure what you're even arguing. The white % vote for Bernie was far larger than the white % vote for Biden. Biden won largely due to minorities voting for him. It seems in bad faith to blame white liberals for Biden's victory when minorities supported him far more than Bernie.
Won't be a forest left as they burn away with the U.S. Empire Military burning up fossil fuels with 800 bases around the world. Who's gonna pAy fOr it though.
Exactly my thoughts. People that just want Trump out are seeing cable news tell them only Biden can do it 24/7 and on top of that the other candidate is a socialist. There are probably people raising from their graves to vote in this situation. Absolutely doubt that any of this matter for the General Election.
The Red Scare is real.
Do you remember how long he stuck around 4 years ago, well after he had no shot?
It won't. The misery Americans face, simply by the fact they're Americans and live in America, doesn't die with Biden as the nominee, let alone as POTUS.
conservative machine? they won because the midwest fucking really hated/hates hillary. they don't nearly hate biden as much at all. as you can see he just whooped bernie in michigan.
he does that and wins pa and the map is 2012 obama. which it probably will be.
plus biden puts florida in play. OLD PEOPLE LOVE BIDEN
Because the country likes the other democrat more than your democrat?
Maybe? This just cements how much she was hated. A big chunk of Sanders' support was just anti-Hillary people.
Nordic countries are a whole lot more capitalist than Bernie makes them out to be, that was her point. If he wants to go back to the 80's Nordic model, there's a reason those countries aren't run that way anymore. If you're going to talk about Scandinavia literally every time someone brings up the fact you're a Socialist, it wouldn't hurt to know how those economies are actually run inside and out.
