Polls Close in a hour:(UPDATE: its over :sadbern:)South Carolina Democratic Primary

[Pifferry]

Young people don't vote. Bernie supporters too busy spamming reddit and Facebook to actually go to the polls.

The people on Reddit are the people who are voting hence why they're mad about people not voting.
Don't know why that sites the target of all of this.

Sanders tried to get someone to Primary challenge Obama in 2012, Obama won't forget that, He is gladly supporting his Secretary of State

Yeah. I think Bernie dropped the ball in two areas.

1) not doing shyt during trayvon and all the others who died. We keep getting beat over the head about how he marched and walked decades ago but ANY visible action during those times would have given him name recognition and probably at minimum close to the amount of black support Hillary has.

2) calling Obama weak. Hillary never gonna let anyone forget that and it's self explanatory for why he is losing black votes too

That third person is clearly someone brigading the sub.
The first two are reasonable posts.

People are sheep breh

We can't save them or have them vote for their own interests. For 40 years people have been voting for neo-liberalism and more righter wing policies... and the Dems have been pushed to the right.

It's a shame.

Nothing will change till the next financial crisis IMO

It's gonna have to be worse than the last one and I still doubt everyone wakes up.

I voted for Bernie Sanders and right now I live in SC and I don't regret one bit voting for Bernie.

Let me explain to you guys what happened in this state and WHY Bernie Sanders lost and I think it's important to to understand the reason behind why Bernie lost. You guys need to understand how the demographic here in the South Carolina works.

Where I was the voting locations were deserted and empty, I didn't even see many older people. The thing SC is that there's nothing but older people, mostly over 50 who voted. A lot of the younger voters, usually Bernie supporters moved out of this state and moved somewhere else. So I had a feeling that Bernie was going to lose SC, even by a large margin, but that's how SC works. The Democratic demographic here is very low compared to the rest of the U.S. including the South. When it was time for the Repblican primary here in this state, the voting locations were full. This state isn't a progressive, prosperous state for people who are attracted to politicians like Bernie.

Republican Clyburn (a c00n) endorsed Hillary Clinton and majority of the older Blacks in this state think exactly like this man, my parents included. My parents don't know why they are voting for Hillary Clinton besides the fact that a lot of older people are still living in the past and they think voting Hillary Clinton in means you're voting in Bill and the romantic days of the 90's in spite of everything that happened in the 90's, especially the disadvantages faced against Blacks in SC.

Hillary appeals to people over 50 on the Democratic side and that's what this state comprises of the most.

So once again this isn't a huge Bernie upset, but it's more telling of how this state hasn't been taken seriously in politics in a long time. A lot of older people in this country are still longing for those "good ol days" instead of adapting and looking towards the future for their children and grandchildren.

Hillary is a Republican when it comes down to it.

South Carolina sucks anyways.

As a person who just enjoys the ins and outs of political campaigning, it is impressive the way Clinton just kicked game in that victory speech right there to not only appeal to the room but also to potential voters nationally ahead of Super Tuesday.
If you can't recognize that the old broad is good at this (def a lot better than she was at the same time in 08) then I don't know what to say to you.

Can you find me a video?

Obama is weak. The Republicans say they won't even hear his Supreme Court nominee something he has a constitutional obligation to do and instead of him going at them his genius plan is to nominate a Republican to the Supreme Court. I mean honestly what kinda garbage is that?

It's just ignorance from them because the media and general conception is black people are a monolithic. But the deal is the older more conservative blacks will always go for the establishment JUST LIKE OLDER CONSERVATIVE WHITES.

But since reddit is mostly young white progressives who haven't experienced the differences in black culture you'll see posts like that up until the end of the cycle.

Funny, sounds like the exact same shyt that bytch ass terrible poster BaggersofTea says about us black non-bernie supporters, and he's "supposedly" black as well.

Not an American but I'm reading more and more on this everyday.

1. How many more primaries will there be to see when a leader will be chosen for each party?

2. Is this a big loss for Bernie?

1. Two more weeks and we should have presumptive nominees (Trump and Clinton) on both sides. There's like 15-20 primaries in the next two weeks though.

2. The margin is surprisingly high. This was an expected loss for him though. The south is far and away his worst region. That said, his campaign is over anyway.

Because r/politics used to be good for politics of all types. Bernie Sanders supporters took it over and now it's only Bernie hype and Hillary hate. The people that used to post there regularly had to leave. You can't even see Trump news on there and you know he been acting a plum fool.

Bernie gotta pull off something big. He needs a HUGE endorsement.
