Honest question: What could Bernie's campaign have done better?
Not rely solely young voters to push him as the democrat nominee for president.
Not admonish the "democratic establishment" while running as a democrat.
Honest question: What could Bernie's campaign have done better?
There was no way Sanders was going to court old folks away from Obama's VP just like in 2016 where he wasn't going to be able to court Bill's wife.
Biden won states he didn't even visit. It's not about issues or looking at the future but sitting with what's comfortable because in the end they'll be long deal before the ramifications of their vote will fully take effect.
If Democrats had good messaging, this can be EASILY said for Trump's entire family.
Call himself a progressive instead of aHonest question: What could Bernie's campaign have done better?
No way.
I genuinely appreciate it. Kind words are all I can realistically hope for right now.I'm so sorry for you and your family. Ultimately nothing I can say or do can help you but I just want you to know your words are seen even though that does nothing for you.
Nah, Bernie should have hammered home the idea that his plan saves money. The difference in him explaining medicare for all compared to Pramila is pretty stark. None of the propaganda (costs of the plan) against that policy flies when Pramila is speaking. She's too knowledgeable about the subject.Maybe not tell the middle class they're going to get taxed more to pay for insurance other than what they already are comfortable with.

Trump's been planning to attack Biden over nepotism. Hypocrisy isn't a problem for him, because Trump is Teflon. None of his supporters care about his obvious mental incompetence or corruption or anything else besides owning the libs and pro-Jesus judges. But Democrats and Independents will hold Biden to a higher standard.
Attacks against Biden for being dotty or creepy won't sway people to Trump's side, but they will depress the Democratic, Independent and never-Trumper Republican vote, which is Trump's path to victory.
I don't have much faith in that. Hillary lost to Trump and now the party is probably going to nominate Biden. It feels like the same mistakes from 2004 and 2016 are being made.I not sure about AOC in particular but if trump wins against Biden the dems are definitely shifting left
I get your point but Pete is 38 and no one got up in arms about thatShe's going to need to become a known quantity with people who aren't under 30 and on Twitter before having a realistic shot. She'll have no chance with the 50+ white voting bloc in 2024.
No way.

Was literally political suicide in Texas. He would not help.

It would be a shock if it isn't. He won the most states and is building up a reasonable lead in Texas. Bernie's only real bright spot is Cali, and going forward he has more unfriendly states than friendly state, and if Bloomers drops... Well, Biden lost more vote to Bloomer than Bernie did to Warren (assuming that bases here are 1:1 which, they probably aren't).
Not really. Hunter being appointed because of his father's name, having no experience has nothing to do with Trump. It has everything to do with the Biden name.

What does that have to do with biden's words exiting his mouth.
Third times the charm? oh godI don't have much faith in that. Hillary lost to Trump and now the party is probably going to nominate Biden. It feels like the same mistakes from 2004 and 2016 are being made.
Funny cause I feel that exact way about Bernie.If Biden wins Trump wins. I'll bet fucking everything under the sun that he can't beat Trump.
Not making the same mistakes by not focusing on the south and African American voters. Not relying on a voting population that is unreliable.(young voters)Honest question: What could Bernie's campaign have done better?
Could Warren be Bidens veep? Have not read much on their apparent feud.
A fundamental to being a progressive is being non-interventionist, and being against money in politics. They're not progressives and them endorsing Biden is them showing their true colors.1) Have actual plans, not just promises. Bernie never showed how he was going to deliver on campaign promises.
2) Work with the other progressive candidates. Don't set your attack sights on them.
3) Strongly repudiate the PLCAA.
4) Explain the whole NO vote on the Magnitsky Act.
5) Recognize that racism is a thing.
That would be a start.
1) Don't praise Fidel Castro. Under no circumstance should you say Gotta hand it to them in regards to ISIS.jpg
2) Maybe don't downplay the pervasiveness of racism in the south and play the class card.
3) try to coalition build with other democrats especially other candidates in the race.
4) court the youth vote but don't rely on it. It's a good way to Fail with this alone
I've heard people pronounce many things as fact in this race. Bidens support is incredibly weak I'll wait and see. Bernie isnt far behind.Bernie getting a majority is pretty much over. Contested convention is probably his best hope now but it's unlikely he has more delegates going in.
Bernie ran a shitty and divisive campaign. He didn't do a good job at courting black people, he doubled down on stupid Castro shit. attacking the establishment backfired severely. A majority of self identified democrats voted against Bernie

Approval ratings don't matter.
The difference is that the GOP base don't mind. They want Jr or Ivanka to be there.If Democrats had good messaging, this can be EASILY said for Trump's entire family.
I used to be on the "AOC should probably wait a decade to run for president" team but if Biden, the last relic of the Obama era, loses to donald trump, then a 2024 run is inevitable.
wowWhat exactly was Sanders supposed to do to court black voters? Pull a bottle of hot sauce out of his fucking purse?
Not actively alienated the people whose votes they needed. Attacking the Democratic Party (and especially the legacy of Barack Obama, who's still incredibly popular) when you need Democrats to vote for you kind of limits your appeal.
Well, no I responded to this person almost immediately. Which was before the others had posted.Because there are other sources to use for that video than a hate campaign?
Also, I like that you're selectively replying to posts to completely ignore the 5 people who explained the context of that video to you.
Context matters, it'd be like saying you can't praise the French Revolution or the American Revolution because a lot of people died. I agree with most of what you say here but I disagree with your first point strenuously.
No way.

It's a joke about Hillary's "I carry hot sauce EVERYWHERE, I am JUST like you" shit
How did he attack the legacy of Obama? And the major parts of the party would be against him regardless unless you think his policy positions aren't the major factor in that divide.Not actively alienated the people whose votes they needed.
