Lets Discuss What went wrong with Bernie Sanders' campaign ?

[dora_da_destroyer]

Yeah the youth turnout in those states is disappointing but when you have a whole establishment + biased media going against you good luck

the misinformation about Bernie and attacks on him were crazy

Murica will never change and look out for working class people.... just don't expect me to vote for the lesser of 2 evils im good

bernie lost demographics/counties that he won by 15-30% in 2016, so really, people who once "supported him" now all of a suddenly listened to the media and establishment? or were they simply voting bernie to be anti hillary

the youth came out in smaller #'s - was this the establishment or just fickle youth who were intrigued by something new in 2016 that became stale in 2020?

- Should have gotten supporters under control. Wasn't the big deal it was made out to be but optics matter
- Needed to more outreach. Young people are all talk, should we even take them serious as politicos period?
- Voter turnout - same as above.
- Base issues. - Forget black voters, what about white people in Michigan

But he highlighted major, glaring issues in our political system. One of which is that people who hate trump had no problem taking his money for years, our healthcare is trash, we don't pay people, and the quality of life is awful. These are things that need to be resolved, because this virus aside China is catching up in every way possible.

they shifted to Barack pretty quickly.

The only way progressives can win again is if they back a poc candidate.

Then AOC should not be an issue in 10 years. Like I said to you last time, our elite is a joke.

I think there were a large contingent of people that believed that he was well meaning but had ideas that had an extremely high probability of never becoming enacted.

that's one thing i don't get, why his supporters act like they're so high info for voting on stuff that has a slim chance of passing (outside of things that can be executive ordered) and an even slimmer chance with a one-term president

Didn't pander enough to black voters.
Wasn't chosen by the establishment.

This

1. Several erroneous campaign decision's such as promising and large differences and declaring war on obama years which Democrats loved.
2. Refusal to speak to black voters, campaign rhetoric was focused on whites and illegals
3. Declared WAR on his own party and obama years which still to me makes no sense.
4. Being completely unlikable in congress refusal to come out of his shell.
5. Social media team and surrogate's alienated a lot of voters and even his own progressive ally.

And this

Bernie was up 2-0 in the series and lost it in 6 games.

Wishful thinking and actual "low information" thought processes. The irony.

They kept pushing the fact that Bernie was out of it after super tuesday when they told all the moderates to drop out and warren shouldve dropped out but split the progressive vote mix that with the constant propaganda about his electability by lying and saying hes damn near a communist ... mix that with the fact that a lot of people are just voting to get Trump out...

But nah that had no effect u right

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

bernie's "success" in 2016 was due almost entirely on the fact that he was running against clinton.

lettuce discuss

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Judaism didnt help

 

[the cac mamba]

[OH SOHH TRILL]

these are excuses except the bolded, and that was clear from jump with this primary, it's the entire basis of a biden candidacy. the fact that the sanders camp/supporters chose to ignore this is arrogant. it was clear a white man would be the nominee from the outset, i knew this even as i adamantly supported Liz. Bernie had the privilege of being a white male yet made no adjustments to broaden his appeal, and convince more voters of his electability. his campaign lost people from 4 years ago, stop blaming everyone else for that

I mean I fundamentally disagree with u. A lot of black people hate the black political elite but really have zero idea on what they do.

like the hbcu vs minority institution issue. It’s been a huge issue for decades. As Latinos have taken away hbcu funds. Yet Bernie supporters here supported it unknowingly.

Most ppl are incredibly misinformed. Black politicians solve sooo many issues to business building, educational opportunities, medical care the list goes on and on. Yet ppl call them a joke. But the ppl who say that actually have no idea what’s going on once you press em on why they fee that way
