Biden, getting ready for his rise in the polls today: "Mmm, I love the smell of young girls' hair in the morning. Smells like victory."
Today's the test for both Biden and Bernie, Bernie if he can clinch it and Biden if he can do a last minute comeback with the endorsements he's picked up. Whoever prevails I'll feel a lot better about running in November cuz both of them need to prove they can pull it off in my eyes. So today will be a good day one way or the other. Unless it's in a dead heat tie in which case they can both get lost cuz omg I just want this to be over already.
Is there a source for the BBC quote? googling only finds Glenn Greenwald retweeting.
Who is this? Why isn't he bothering to link to any other tweet or video?
and all Biden needs is x% of Obama-trump voters to come back or x% of white women. It works both ways.
or winning North Carolina for that matter.
No, what I'm saying is that this primary process should be easier for Bernie than 2016, given that Biden is a weaker primary opponent than Hillary, combined with the fact that Bloomberg is spending hundreds of millions to steal Biden's voters and delegates. Bernie should be able to crush Joe. After all, he has better fundraising, organizing, message discipline, energy, public enthusiasm, mental acuity, etc. than Joe. What is Bernie failing to do here that he did against Hillary in 2016, in your opinion?
Pete is from IN which is a nonstarter in the GE for Biden. Pete had like 3% black support in this primary and minimal hispanic support. His favorables are pretty bad for someone who's only been around for a year or so. Guy is reviled by younger voters beyond repair. He shits on left-wing policies constantly from a right-wing PoV with no shame.
There is virtually no advantage to having Pete be his VP except maybe clinching New Hampshire (lol)
This is how I feel also. The only candidate that has inspired me was Obama. Biden and Sanders are about as inspiring as a shart but I'll still vote whichever one of them wins since I don't care who it is, I just want a Democrat in the White House next year.
You really think this matters when the ads will focus on Biden being a massive hypocrite, hyper targeted to black voters on Facebook.
Biden's past on racial issues will bite him in the ass and don't show up on here shocked when it happens.
I don't think he'll be necessarily successful at this, but I do think that black male turnout is going to be a struggle to turn out for the Democratic Party unless Biden promises hard economic enticements to black folks. I also think Bernie was always going to have this problem; he doesn't do enough to frame his economic arguments in terms of race.
This is absolutely true. Everyone read that Michelle Alexander takedown of Hillary, too. I don't think the Democratic Party understands how much it is turning off young black voters by running people who basically shit on black folks in their day, but who are not making up for that by offering, loudly and clearly, policies that focus on black financial elevation.
And I don't think CJ reform is really what that portion of voters wants. I think the 35-and-under crowd want to hear financials. I also think that more of them are ready to sit politics out and make the Democratic Party earn their vote if they don't get it.
I prefer Warren and have a lot of doubt if Biden can win, I dont want to go back to the obama years, that's simply not good enough. But I don't think Warren can win either and Sanders' "we'll pass our agenda by having a revolution" is a joke.
so it's Biden. Another election where I'm not enthusiastic about voting but vote anyways.

Today is the day he truly became the candidate.
Dammit
Also I dont get why people are asking Biden supporters about the reasons to pick Biden. The time to reach out to the moderate lane has been the past 12 months as it was clear that Bernie need to expand beyond his base to win this election and yet people got shat on for supporting anyone else. The kind of statement Beto made about everyone is what should have been blasting out of Bernies camp all this time and yet his alienation of people left him vulnerable
Hope so, wife and I are going out to support him tonight after work. I used to like Biden as the safe choice, but he's about exciting as a wet mop.
Biden is tremendously relatable. He is essentially the personification of human suffering. People identify with and share his burden. Sorry you can't reduce this to just him having a penis. The biggest reason Biden haters can't get it is because they view politics fundamentally as a collection of ideological and not personal or familial views.
biden supporters I think in general have been unhappy that his campaign thus far has completely and totally ignored his humanity. He's been the boring old racist candidate and not the guy that gave the, "this is America. Come on" speech 3.5 years ago.
He'd be an idiot to not pick Kamala for a running-mate.
Why Hillary Clinton Doesn’t Deserve the Black Vote
From the crime bill to welfare reform, policies Bill Clinton enacted—and Hillary Clinton supported—decimated black America.

Keep in mind when Clinton won Warren's endorsement in 2016 she plastered her everywhere, to the point that people really thought they'd team up on a ticket. That obviously didn't happen.
Pete would be the ultimate "double down on Midwestern educated whites" move for Biden. The problem is he should already have that appeal.

All those "Bernie is the frontrunner" takes are aging like fine wine
Also people are rightly pointing out how terrible Biden has been in this campaign but should we not be worried that bernie could not put together the coalition necessary to take down such a shitty campaigner? The truth is they are both shit and you can make an argument about which one has the bigger flaws but they both have massive flaws

I'm sure we will doesn't mean it matters. He has more than one path.
Also, young black men were one of the largest groups of non voters in the last election. Why does Bernie suddenly make them come storming back? And what about the equally large "socializm" campaign targeting older voters (the ones that vote in largest numbers) that would come with a Bernie nomination. Would that not matter?

Home state advantage is anyway over-rated. Biden has struggled to get the support of the college-educated well to do supporters where Pete does very well. Plus, having a gay VP candidate makes a statement too IMO. Minorities appeal is covered by Biden himself. Who is Sanders going to have as VP?
Let's hope Biden spends his time the next number of months reaching out to PoC voters to energize and earn their votes -while answering for some of his past history. Especially in GE swing states and traditional Dem states.
Yes he better and he also will need to do some massive conciliation with the leftist side of the party. We are seeing that their is definitely a split that is going on and neither side did the appropriate reaching out necessary to consolidate support. Whoever wins has lot of work to do.
If whoever wins the nomination takes any of the coalitions votes for granted we are fucked
some of those posts are similar to the shit you see in /r/thedonald
I agree on this, I don't care who is the nominee the VP pick should be a woman.
Sanders has said his VP pick must agree with him on M4A. So who?
I mean it's showing you that name recognition and institutional power go a long fucking way. The former VP doesn't need a good campaign or organization to win a primary. He can also blanket the media for an entire weekend with an endorsement from every living and breathing Dem.
I have no confidence in Biden or Bernie addressing the issues of PoC, especially young black voters, in order to drum their support up substantially more than they've done so far.
