Where are the people calling for Bernie to drop out and endorse Warren months before the primaries even started lmao.

If the situations were reversed, the calls for Bernie to drop out would be deafening.

LMAO. the same people are saying warren should stick it out past Super Tuesday. Like why? She's going to lose every state. I mean if she wants to damage Bernie with attacks and hope for a contested convention ok..

I don't support Bernie ideologically and have major policy differences with him. I feel with him on the top of the ticket Democrats will throw this election. It will be Trump's safe economy vs. Bernie's scary socialism, and that's a winning argument for him. In a twist, Trump will credibly be able to pitch himself as the safe candidate. I'd narrowly prefer Bernie as President over Trump, but I feel he'll be such a down-ballot disaster - especially in 2022 if he squeaks by this November - that it negates my preference when I have to weigh everything in totality.

So I'm mostly in despair and resignation now because I don't see how Bernie loses at this point. The best general election track of those still nominally available is to go with Biden and hope Bloomberg puts in $3 billion in well-crafted ads and infrastructure to make up for Biden's inability to raise money and to campaign with any energy, inspiration, or organization. But that's a least-bad option that has little chance of happening anymore.

I live in a country where most of the things Bernie wants to make happen, are already a reality. Chin up - it's not that bad.

If you are rooting for Bloomberg you might as well consider yourself a republican.

Bernie will defeat Trump vastly more easily than Bloomberg ever would.

Yeah, we should totally discard this diverse coalition that's passionate and emotional. That's how we win elections.

But Biden can't beat trump. He doesn't have the ground game Bernie has. Bloomberg is a republican. He only put in money to dems to help himself. If he loses the nomination, he'll just go back to being and supporting republicans.

Bernie is so on point with the billionaire welfare state people have gladly supported, and how it is time they pay us back and then some. This is a great speech.

Btw why is the caucus already being declared when only 4% of the vote is reported? Sure Bernie did well in that small %, but it seems kind of premature??

All research and successful drug policies show
that treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased while abolishing
mandatory minimum sentences
