That doesn't make it okay. The least he could do is publicly apologize and commit to being better.

Exactly, time for the Democratic party to fold if this is the best they can come up with...
This is and continues to be a crock. The media didn't make anyone vote how they voted and it's some disingenuous conservative-like nonsense to see folks continually trot this out. We can have a discussion about whether the media is unfair or whatever else, but if Bernie wasn't enough of a politician to get the folks to vote for him, that's on him. He got his shot, he couldn't sell it. I voted for him happily so this isn't a case of disliking the guy, but let's be realistic.
edit: wasn't even thinking. Definitely not the topic. So sorry everyone.

Yes and one of those reasons is the way that the most ardent Sanders supporters act towards liberal women who don't support their god king Sanders. Mind you it's not the majority of Sanders supporters, most are cool people but the diehards are the worst along with the MAGA idiots.
Clearly you're using a terrible definition of "done". He dropped from 1st place all the way down to... 2nd place, and people were treating 2nd place and ten points behind as if he had a 0% chance of winning. That's just totally, utterly ignorant of how previous primaries have played out. Bill Clinton didn't win ANYTHING until Super Tuesday, and then continued to flounder here and there. But people just totally ignored obvious, recent, historical examples to come up with stupid fucking arguments on how the second place guy was totally, utterly fucked, after less than 3% of the country had voted, and a wildly unrepresentative and caucus-heavy 3% at that.
The ever elusive "Bernie Voter" never actually voted. That's your citation. Election results.
How come everyone else lost to Biden, then?
Merely losing to Joe Biden is not the barometer of whether or not someone can win against Donald Trump in an election.
Bernie has very high favorability among likely Democratic voters. Bernie not being the number one choice for some voters in the primary is not an indication of whether or not they would have turned out for him in the general election.
This really doesn't seem different than any of the allegations levied against him before. He is/was known for being an overly handsy guy. If he didn't know better then (he should have), he certainly knows better now. That stuff just isn't acceptable anymore. Regardless, at the end of the day, in contrasting Biden versus Trump, they aren't even remotely in the same ballpark. Still wholeheartedly supporting Biden in the lead up to November.
figures.
he better have an absolutely killer vp pick unless he drops out or something insane like that happens (if theres other allegations out there)

A moderate is clearly what the electorate wanted. If your only hope is that the opposing ideology eats each others lunch long enough to guarantee you a plurality rather than actually being able to win over a majority of the electorate then it's obvious that your campaign is on shaky ground.
In a possible debate scenario, I want a moderator to question the amount of claims against both biden and trump as they stand there trying to explain.
The media should also be displaying information on Trump in the same articles

So let me get this straight, you're here in this thread about sexual misconduct allegations against Joe Biden defending women from Sanders supporters and completely ignoring the allegation. Is that right?
Fucking garbage
User Warned: Driveby Trolling
Where has Uncle Joe been recently? Is he busy with pushup contests?
Exactly. At best, Biden will stop being an evil pos but he is far from ideal.
Still, dems have to support him unless you literally want 4 more years of Trump to continue destroying the country. I think this was know from day1. We cant have people back out now as sad as I have to say that.
bro people on this forum are heated they can't watch youtube and netflix in HD anymore. this is small potatoes
Most voters don't care what Sanders supports think. They're more concerned with policies and if politicians are listening to them.
Sanders's poor campaign efforts towards older black people did far more damage than some idiots on Twitter ever did.
It's hilarious to me how many self proclaimed political experts on this site have clearly never actually gotten involved with the political process besides Twitter and going to the polls.
Flip the script and see how differently Bernie was treated when he became second place. See how differently the media treated Biden when he became first compared to when Bernie was first.
Sorry but there isnt a comparison. No campaign can overcome what the media wants and projects on to the public. It's disingenuous to solely blame Bernie on the outcome.
Not at all. I'm responding to another poster referring to reasons for why suburban women arent voting for Sanders.
A rich powerful creep, out of the blue, has ties to a relatively poor nation like Ukraine. I wonder what Joe does on his off time there and how he treats vulnerable women he encounters.
People should stop voting for exactly who they want because they succeeded in getting exactly who they wanted?
But, do you disagree with my post? Look, times have changed. Behavior that was viewed as "okay" a generation ago, is no longer "okay." There are degrees of wrong. People are posting about him like he is Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby. It is just not the same and the degree to which people are attacking Biden on this forum right now is out of whack with what he has even been accused of. Trump is a real danger on so many levels and has been accused of actual rape and sexual harassment.
So you think the DSA has what it takes to replace the Democratic party and defeat the GOP? I wish they did, but no they don't.
I also wish that Biden wasn't the nominee, but that doesn't change the reality we find ourselves in. We can be angry that we didn't get a better outcome for a while, but eventually we need to be adults and do the best we can with the situation we find ourselves in.
So if Bernie is the best Progressives can do, shouldn't they call it a day first?
Estimates of total projected turnout by age in democratic primary. Where does specifically this say, quote, "the only group who wanted Bernie couldn't be bothered to vote"? (emphasis added)

He was being interviewed yesterday on CNN?
People give way too much credence to Twitter regarding anything tbh

Folks, expect 7 months of this stuff
I guess that this is what Biden fans wanted, a thread where saying "he only has 7 allegations" is possible

*sigh* 18-29 year olds are the only group that significantly preferred Sanders
It's eventually going to be "well at least all the women were above age, unlike Trump's allegations!".
That is WRONG. The media was saying that Biden was broke and that Biden's campaign was dead in the days leading up to Super Tuesday. Biden got the turnout and the black vote in South Carolina. That is what saved him -- not the democratic establishment.
The fuck? So just let Trump get another 4 years?
This. I swear to god I should've had my coffee this morning before checking OT.

The same group is probably also the only one to give a shit about allegations.
User banned (1 month): Minimizing sexual harassment and dismissive derail over a series of posts
The primary is over. Best to just move on. What's the value in dragging things out as Sanders continually lies to his supporters about the basics of how delegates work for months?
I donated to Warren. I voted for Warren. When she lost (on the same day as Sanders), I moved on.
without quoting anyone this post doesn't read well at all. comes off as a deflection away from a serious issue. hopefully not your intention.
