WOW.

Warren didn't endorse Bernie because his sorry ass team waited until the WEEK OF for a collaboration! AND SANDERS TEAM IGNORED HER PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS!

WOW

:wow:






Last weekend, a few days after Elizabeth Warren dropped out, Shakir and one of his deputy campaign managers, Ari Rabin-Havt, started contacting her top staffers and supporters to see what could be done to bring together the two camps before the primaries on Tuesday.

Sanders spoke to Warren a “handful” of times throughout the week, a campaign aide confirmed, but she has declined to offer her endorsement.

Several leading figures in Warren’s circle balked at the outreach effort — Sanders and his aides, they said, had months to lay the groundwork for that kind of partnership, but only did so this week from a position of desperation. About a month ago, when it was clear that Warren had little chance to win, one such person said they put out feelers to Sanders’ operation in an attempt to start a running conversation. They showed little interest, the person said, in reciprocating.

Others questioned whether Sanders could have prevented such a swift consolidation of the field had he reached out to candidates like Buttigieg and Klobuchar in a more concerted way.

“That's the Sanders model — they were gonna do it themselves,” said Adam Jentleson, a Democratic strategist who supported Warren. “His challenge from day one was to reach out to people who weren't with him in 2016 and build a bridge to the rest of the party.”

“I would feel differently about it if the other half of the equation was present for them: a wave of new voters and unprecedented youth turnout,” Jentleson added. “But it’s not there.”

He wasn't Obama's vice president.

edit: and the idea the Bernie's supporters are any more "problematic" than supporters of other candidates isn't substantiated by any facts but the media doesn't necessarily operate based on facts but rather according to whatever agenda they're trying to push.

:francis:
Thank you.

Why are we acting like other candidates didn't have toxic fans? Why are we acting like other candidates had perfect plans either?

Bernie fans attacked everyone, they ostracized every conceivable ally they may of had within the Democratic Party.

Bernie also refused to talk about black specific issues outside of climate control

Bernie wanted to do too much. I believe in a lot of what he says but to try and do it all At once wasn’t happening. He should of kept it to 1 or 2 things.

Bernie refused to work with the DNC. If the ppl who run the process don’t believe you’ll work with them they won’t help you. He could of been Trump, but didn’t do what Trump did. Trump surrounded himself with GOP leaders of influence very quickly in order to work within the confines of the Republican Party.

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

What evidence is there for this talking point at all? Bernie talked about Black-specific issues far more than most candidates have, while the candidate that won didn't talk about Black-specific issues at all. In fact, I can't recall any candidate EVER winning due to how much he talked about Black-specific issues. So where are y'all getting this talking point from?

I've brought up a ton of ads, tweets, policies, etc. where Bernie put Black folk from and center. No one else talked about the Black-White wealth gap as much as he did, no one else talked about HBCU's and the Black student loan debt burden as much as he did, no one else talked about Black-White discrepancies in health care as much as he did, no one else talked about police brutality against Black folk as much as he did. No one else had Black folk as central to his campaign (Nina Turner and Briahna Joy Gray).

Meanwhile, Biden gave the Black community....what exactly? He pandered to literal White supremacists more than he pandered to Black folk, bragging how well he had worked across the aisle with racists. He lied about getting arrested to see Mandela, had multiple creepy moments with black kids, talked around his previous opposition to busing, dropped multiple statements where he blamed Black families for underperforming schools, swept his authorship of the crime bill (and low-key his support for ALL the other major crime bills) under the rug, promised nothing to decrease the black-white wealth gap....that's the candidate the establishment gave us. He has done NOTHING for our community and doesn't have to commit to doing anything going forward.

So what could Bernie have done to be more like Biden in that regard?

:russell: this is about as believable as her

“Bernie said a woman couldn’t be president “ lie . Or her Native American heritage.

Bernie did not say one negative thing about this woman , NOT ONE. I don’t think she made a single speech where she didn’t try to shyt on him though :russell:

Lets discuss :coffee:
Bernie is in the wrong country. should've ran in norway.

Bernie should've been born in 1992, so by the time he was heard of these current day old people would be dead and gone and his generation would be ready to vote for him in droves.

A Trump fan complaining about a candidate not supporting reparations. :mjlol:

Claim Bernie lost the Black vote due to not supporting reparations when most Black voters said they wanted someone LESS radical brehs. :francis:
Wouldnt have hurt... :francis:
Might be him going up against Trump instead of Biden if he had.
