Look at him, trying to pretend like he understands what's going on.
Man, Biden's going to be so bad in the GE. He's currently losing (and will be losing after super Tuesday) to Bernie in the Dem primary after having almost the entirety of the dem establishment behind him. He's only where he is (still losing mind you) because of being vice-president to Obama and being endorsed by Jim Clyburn. His fundraising is subpar, his organization is subpar, no one has enthusiasm for him or his policies directly (he's the Obama candidate or the non-sanders candidate) and yet we think he's going to beat Trump If he barely beats Bernie on his home field with all the advantages? He's literally worse than Hillary in every way.

Israeli Election Gives Edge to Netanyahu, Initial Results Show (Published 2020)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to have bested his challenger, Benny Gantz, in Israel’s third election in a year, but fell short of winning a majority.www.nytimes.com
One progressive has built a multicultural, multigenerational base that needs change and one hasn't. Saying Warren needs to drop out and join our fight doesn't seem bad to the people who suffer most under the system we live under. Trying to paint this as sexism when we know the cards we have now seems like you're missing the Forrest for the trees. Like I love Liz, but fuck some of us see this as more than a game and we don't have the privilege to Moderate hop.
Their parliamentary system seems even more nightmarish than ours.I figured this would happen. Voters would get sick of the elections and go back to Bibi just to put an end to them.
Israeli government stays losing.
I wish I could LIKE this comment, it's spot fucking on. What am I missing with Biden, because he's so milqetoast, it's just maddening. Plus, the right has assumed he'd be the nominee for a long time, and they've got cruise ships full of Oppo for him, and it'll be bad, very bad. Please change my mind and enlighten me as to why he's better than our populist movement they're trying to shut down.
The smartest thing the GOP did was coalesce behind Trump, even if it took a while. They listened to the people, begrudgingly or not, and won because of it. Now, they may burn forever because of it, and that would be amazing, but at least they're not actively trying to tell millions that they don't matter and that they don't care about the young enthusiastic voters like the DNC establishment is doing. What kind of party sees a huge energetic movement, bringing in tons of new voters, and says, "naw, we're good, it's Biden's turn. Go away and be quiet in your little selfie corners." ?
I have no idea how CA is going to go, but "Sanders is huge among early deciders but not so much with late ones" is definitely a pattern that's showing up.LOL watch Sanders ultimately win CA by only ~5% when all the votes have been counted.
The crowing might actually get quieter and quieter as votes - and therefore delegates - stream in because of late deciders and people who held their ballots.
How exactly are they "trying to shut it down"? I don't really see anything other than members of the Democratic Party endorsing Biden? Or the candidates who are dropping out (who are ideologically closer to Biden than Sanders)? Or are you saying that they shouldn't be endorsing him?I wish I could LIKE this comment, it's spot fucking on. What am I missing with Biden, because he's so milqetoast, it's just maddening.

His RCP average is only 34 in the state, so this isn't that out the norm, just everyone else is higher. Prolly an outlier or w/e,.I find it hard to believe Bernie is that lowin CA but throw it on the pile

Is Duckworth the favorite for a Biden running mate or would Tammy be more likely.
I obviously don't support Bernie, but I wouldn't say give up hope. Do what you can. Make calls, talk to your friends, do whatever you think could positively affect his chances. Until the cards are on the table, anything could happen.Aaaaaand we're done. It was nice being hopeful for a few weeks, but moderate megazord is going to wrap this.
Wisconsin doesn't have interim appointments, i think? So, I'd prefer Tammy-1 to Tammy-2.
Not to mention how far he's pulled the party leftward. Even if Biden wins, his platform is to the left of pretty much every modern Democratic President. Without Bernie, that doesn't happenEven if Bernie loses in the end, I think the Bernie playbook but attempted by a young progressive would be immensely successful.

A big part of Bernie's appeal is that he has been saying this shit for decadesEven if Bernie loses in the end, I think the Bernie playbook but attempted by a young progressive would be immensely successful.
The great political pundit, John Cusack is on both sides of this immense debate.

Let's go, Joe.
You are totally entitled to your opinion here. Polling shows otherwise in BG states, but the enthusiasm gap is for real. Bernie is flatly better there - at least within certain parts of the electorate.His fundraising is subpar, his organization is subpar, no one has enthusiasm for him or his policies directly (he's the Obama candidate or the non-sanders candidate) and yet we think he's going to beat Trump If he barely beats Bernie on his home field with all the advantages? He's literally worse than Hillary in every way.
This part is just false. He has absolutely had his lunch eaten from a massively clogged lane including a billionaire blanketing the airwaves. You can absolutely make the case that if he was a better candidate, they wouldn't have been able to grab his votes, but you can't ignore his path here and pretend that the whole establishment has been behind him. It's just not true.Man, Biden's going to be so bad in the GE. He's currently losing (and will be losing after super Tuesday) to Bernie in the Dem primary after having almost the entirety of the dem establishment behind him.
