Does anyone else find it amusing the "moderate" Democrats' refusal to get behind a single candidate had cleared the way for Bernie to win easily?

Like dude's the frontrunner with high-20s/low-30s. It's Trump 2016 all over again with regard to how they ended up winning (fractured field).
shyt's poetic :heh:

Every Democratic Candidates' 'Black Agenda,' Ranked
1. Elizabeth Warren
Total Score: 79
Elizabeth Warren’s plan is called “A Working Agenda for Black America.”

  • Economics: Look, no one is going to outshine Warren in this category. Her plans offer specifics complete with dollar amounts and budgetary offsets. She has entire separate sections on entrepreneurs of color and farmers of color. She backs reparations.
    Economics score: 9
  • Criminal Justice: Warren approaches criminal justice reform with compassion and logic. She does not have any new ideas but she outlines exactly how she wants to reform cash bail, sentencing, police brutality and drug legalization. She, along with Tom Steyer, both include mental health reform in their criminal justice plans.
    Criminal Justice score: 7
  • Education: Warren is a teacher, so it makes sense that her education plans are comprehensive. She separates K-12 education from college reform. However, her college plans focus primarily on student debt and not HBCU funding or college programs.
    Education Score: 8
  • Politics: Again, Warren offers specifics. She doesn’t just want to end voter purges, she wants to pass a law that bans removing people from voter rolls unless the voter affirmatively requests to be removed or there is objective evidence of a legitimate reason to remove them.” She wants voting machines to be approved statewide and on the federal level before they can be used in elections. She vows to use executive authority to prevent voter discrimination.
    Politics Score: 8
  • Comprehensiveness: Perhaps no candidate in history ever had a more detailed, comprehensive plan that Elizabeth Warren’s. Every single policy has a separate page explaining how she will accomplish it. She earned extra points for having an entire agenda for black women.
    Comprehensiveness Score: 10
  • Blind spots: Honestly, it is hard to find holes in Warren’s policies. She doesn’t address college admissions and she’s a little too nice to racist institutions. She points out discrimination but tries to correct it with “investments” instead of criminalizing the institutions for racist practices. Other than that, her plan is as at least as comprehensive as her competitors’.
    Blind Spots Score: 7
  • Feasibility: Warren’s plan is expensive AF. Unlike other candidates, she explains where she’ll get the money but her wealth tax will be difficult to pass. She does have a legislative history and the ability to explain her policies by breaking them down with compassion. She’s like a kindergarten teacher or a scientist speaking to Donald Trump.
    Feasibility Score: 7
  • History: Warren is the only candidate whose history isn’t marred by a problematic racial past. That whole Native American blunder might be irrelevant to most black people because we all have a cousin whose “good hair” comes from her “Indian roots.” She was a Republican until 1996.
    History Score: 7
  • Intentionality: It’s hard to argue that anything about Warren’s platform is performative because she has always displayed intention when it comes to diversity and inclusion.
    Intentionality Score: 8
  • Impact: Warren’s plan might not be the most impactful, but it is the most realistic plan. It is as progressive as Bernie Sanders’ but she bests him on actual policymaking. It also doesn’t rely on Sanders’ “rising tide lifts all boats” theory because it targets specific issues of race with precision.
    Impact Score: 8

There you have it. Elizabeth Warren’s “black agenda” is the blackest of them all. Unfortunately, she also seems to be invisible to everyone except Mike Bloomberg. But that’s only because she keeps punching him in the face during the debates.

A whopping 0 delegates :wow:
Her campaign is pretty much dead. She's not even leading poling in her home state.

My guess is after the Super Tuesday results she's gonna suspended it.

There's only 3 legitimate candidates left but it's really down to Biden and Sanders with Mayor Pete at third.

Anybody else still in the race is dead in the water now. At this point you're not gonna catch fire out of nowhere and leap people in the polls.

which begs the question, why did the people above give even more money to her campaign? why would you give money to someone you know good and well is going to lose?

Do you know what you just did? you didnt give money to Liz, you gave money to her consultants. do you know thats really the reason she's still hanging around. because They want her to, so they can get paid longer. politics is a super dirty game and just like consultants at your place of business. they would do anything to extend the contract and have your company blow more money on them not doing much of anything but...hanging around giving suspect advice.
