I certainly didn't see the consolidation from the establishment wing coming this quick. I have to think Bernie's team was prepared for a post Super Tuesday plan of attack against the next contender.

Nothing that can't be rectified going forward.

I guess Biden's stunning weakness in Iowa and New Hampshire as well as the big W in Nevada must have caused too much comfort.

I thought this would happen after Super Tuesday as well.

I'm really nervous man. I think I'm gonna just try to stay away from any and all news until later tonight/early tomorrow.

Endorsements don’t mean everything though.


I’m really interested to see how the narrowing field shakes out. Because Biden never was anyone’s second or third choice a few weeks ago according to polls. Who knows where every voter is going to go now that they’re choices were halved overnight.

This is true.

ALSO, I wonder how many people even fukking realize that Pete and Amy dropped out. Real talk. We're political nerds on here so we know, and the Twitter-sphere knows. But yesterday was a week day and Amy didn't drop out until later in the day. A lot of people were at work and may have no watched the news last night.

I mean I know Pete and Amy weren't getting a ton of votes, but I'd like to see how many people today cast ballots for people they don't realize aren't even in the race anymore.

Biden just took a huge leap in the Morning Consult poll that came out 10 minutes ago....Here's the problem, Democratic primary voters and party hacks love their major figures(Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Obama).

That's why the party is able to close ranks like this and voters follow. The GOP couldn't pull anything like this off in 2016 because their establishment party leaders are despised by voters(McCain, Romney, Jeb Bush). Their voters are more likely to revolt.

Biden going from the teens to 36% in 48 hours in one poll is crazy to me.

What happens if Bernie overperforms today? I'm not counting on it of course, I'm expecting worst case scenario since the Dem establishment always gets what they want it seems

The mask is off. They don't care if they lose.

They would rather have 4 more years of Trump and act like they're in #TheResistance and pay lip service instead of letting Bernie be the nominee. They don't want to lose ANY of their fukking money and power. It ain't hurting their pockets that bad.

They'd rather have this going on in our country than have Bernie possibly defeat Trump and try to bring real change: 'As I was being eaten, I was thinking about my insurance’: Woman who lost face in bear attack on why she’s voting for Bernie Sanders'
Woman who lost face in bear attack on why she’s now voting for Bernie Sanders

Imagine being eaten alive (easily one of the worst ways to die, as bears don't kill you first and they often just pin you down and slowly chew on you) and being worried about your fukking medical bills. Richest country in the world though, right? A beacon of hope and democracy for everyone, right?

They are fukking EVIL. That's why. They're disgusting human beings with no compassion whatsoever for ALL OF US, THEIR CONSTITUENTS; after our tax dollars pay their salaries (which is nothing compared to the money they get from the fukking lobbyists and special interest groups).

They talked about the popular vote after 2016 when it was convenient for them. As much as I hate the RNC at least they don't have the super delegate bullshyt. fukking unelected officials having arguably the MOST say in who gets to be out candidate.

If Bernie isn't the nominee I might never vote Democrat again. fukkKK the DNC. They have the nerve to say 'Bernie Bros' are 'mean' online when they are content with us calling Ubers during heart attacks because we don't think we can pay for ambulances while working multiple jobs.
Yeah I’m about to get on my Susan Sarandon shyt. The Dem establishment needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from the ashes...or just destroyed.

Ryan Grim always assumes Warren has the best intentions. Cenk, Emma and Sam Seder have the same problem as well which is part of why we're in this mess. This article is dangerous because you have to look at the voter crossover appeal from a state to state basis. If Warren was out, we'd be winning Colorado, Mass and California by massive margins. We'd be in the 40's in Cali.

Trump will win but in the event he doesn't I'm ready to read about the pros and cons of Biden's climate advisors by David Dayen :hhh:

Or the think pieces about how we're bigger than Bernie and we're just getting started and how AOC will save us from plutocracy in 2024 :lolbron:
