Democratic Presidential Primary |February OT| It Can't be Worse than Iowa, Right? (Discussion Guidelines in OP)

Take a deep breath. Bernie's campaign was preparing for this, they knew SC would be a difficult battle. They've put all their infrastructure in Super Tuesday states and many of those votes are already in.
The wonders of a primary. You just have to count ballots like and normal election. Not do complicated caucus math.
they're booing Bernie lost. they still cheered for Biden
It would seem that BIden over preforming is Pete and Klob voters reading the writing and going ahead to switch over. Without Steyer in the race, who knows who his voters would have went to. Either Bernie or Biden side could make a case I suppose. The main question is if the % breakdown across large AA voting areas (not in the south) will be enough to over take Bernie.
Guess on ST if the moderate wing does start to go behind Biden (not just black voters), it could be much more mixed in results than what we thought.

What's not to say that Trump painting Bernie as a socialist/communist wouldn't turn down voter turn out and lead to an easy Trump win in Nov?
but these are black voters. they were never going to vote for Pete or Klob. Also Steyer does really well with old folks it looks like, so they probably would've gone to Biden
I await for people to complain after BIden loses the general about young voters not coming out.
That's seems to be what the split is amongst black voters in general, iirc.
I mean his general stump speech. Hasn't changed much since the opening.
This is definitely gonna boost him in Super Tuesday. It helped Gingrich in the GOP primary of 2012, and it's definitely gonna help him here.
I'm just saying that they are underpreforming based on the RCP polling average.
Wow Biden crushed it. Feels like Sanders didn't even try in SC. I got mailers, ads, door knocks from every campaign even got one from Deval Patrick yesterday, not a damn thing from Bernie
Also feels like this is what the race would've looked like without the myriad moderates and billionaires

Makes sense.
All the candidates are abysmal when it comes to race and Biden's been sold as the 'safe' choice that's been sold who can beat Trump.
Could have been Bloomy with his store bought swell in the polls but luckily his fucked up bigotry became a national issue along with those debates so people removed from NYC politics knew what was up.
Its interesting seeing all the candidates fail to sell themselves to the black vote...either by ignoring them or by coming off as not being able to win on the national level.
Kinda depressing the deep cynical pragmatism that's settled in, but arguably that's what's kept em safe because minority activist progressives get treated much differently then your chapo traphouse types (along with no support from said chapos) so gotta keep the movement local

Yeah generally speaking black voters 45 and under go to Bernie, above that and it's Biden.
I am going to be really curious on the overall black vote count for Pete and Klob.
Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in SC.
Man, I can't wait until 2024....young generation will speak out and AOC will be a viable candidate...
So, is Biden actually really good at understanding black issues and knowing how to approach them? Is this the vote reflecting that?
He's not on the ballot in SC. We'll have to wait until Tuesday to see how Bloomberg does.
whats the point that he made oh FUCK today was the last day for me to early vote
god damn it I'll have to sweat it out in the line on Thursday then.
I am still struggling to understand how the fuck is Biden so popular with older black folks. Dude fucking lies like sipping cappuccino and displayed visibly creepy attitude towards women.
Of course, Trump is the same way with lies and women and enough Americans were able to either overlook or condone it to put that cunt in the office.

he's an old racist who happened to be Obama's vp
somewhere between complaining about 7/11 clerks being too Indian and black people being dumb because they don't hear enough words as children he might've made some progress.
He's Obama's VP and he's seen as electable. That's pretty much it.
Oligarchs want to seize all the power they can. Bloomberg running is the most sensible thing about this race.
I mean with other Primary.. it would take couple of days to reach 100% but with the rate they are going it would take less than a day..
He's committed to ST, he has spent too much money to just give up because of this result in South Carolina.
He wasn't even on the ballot in SC.
A link to the good old days of Obama? Who did what for them exactly?

Yikes. Certainly lives up to their name.Hey remember how you defended a literal fascist authoritarian, like repeatedly?

We pretty much knew NH's results by the end of the night, this will be similar.
Biden plummets to a commanding victory. This doesn't bode well for his campaign going forward.
They do not and I have no intention of ever supporting them again. Either we get people who actually give a fuck about the poor and the vulnerable and putting the 1% and corporations in their place or I am out. Never voting corporate dem again in my life. Two decades was enough for their bullshit.
Yeah... The approval polls definitely hint at that don't they?
Getting to 100% (or very close) within a day is pretty normal.
He's 78 and has been fantasizing about running for over a decade publicly. Last chance and he saw a weak Biden as his in, basically.
Yeah, based on prior coverage of the primaries I would have to think Biden is very concerned right now.
I'm gonna give an actual response compared to others. Biden is probably the person who campaigned with and for black people the most in the entire democratic primary field this year. He has campaigned with and for black people for decades and it shows in the results and endorsements he is getting with people like Clyburn in SC and getting the most black endorsements so far.
None of this is surprising, unfortunately relying on young voters and first time voters in the general is playing with fire.
