"kissing his ring" aka horsetrading and actually doing some politicking wouldn't have gained Bernie the Clyburn's endorsement, but it could have stopped the bleeding by forestalling the endorsement until after the SC primary or cutting ads touting his work with Clyburn and making him more acceptable to some of those 47% of SC voters who made their choice based on the Clyburn endorsement. Bernie didn't even fukking try, he threw in the damn towel. Looks like he's doing the same thing by cancelling his Mississippi campaign stops and going to Michigan instead.
It's not worth trying to explain this. Beyond
@FAH1223 no Bernie supporter has given consistent, constructive criticism of Sanders.
Until they are honest with themselves it will be more of the same.
Arguments about who is the more electable, concern for mental decline, and fear of Biden dropping down dead can all be solved easily.
Win.
If Biden has dementia he has no business running. Expose him in the debate instead of carrying Trumps water with dementia rumours and slander.
While you are at it, have an honest conversation with yourself about how an old, unelectable, seemingly senile man seems like a better choice than Bernie Sanders. Don't try to blame the voters either. None of us on here are as smart as we think we are. We just get our confirmation bias from different sources.
