Super Tuesday Primary: Biden wins 9 of 14 states; leads delegate count 637 to 559

i dont think the bloomberg vote breaks down like that, at least i havent seen any evidence. they could be contrarians or independents for all i know.

bernie did let us down, and in 2020 i promise not to blame the electorate

I guess it could be open primaries and what not but Bloomberg got more votes than Warren according to NYT and they've been updating pretty slow...

Bloomberg got 1.5 million+ votes, as a reference point Gabbard got 73k votes

I think we can safely assume Bloomberg wasn't sapping votes from Bernie


At the end of the day I would've preferred if Bernie or Warren(not that she was still in contention as far as I saw prior to today) won the primary but I need Trump and the Republican senate out of power before things get even worse.

 

[Serious]

He'll be running Bidens campaign before the next debate

Maybe I'm naive in regard to political theory, but basically bloomberg was a spoiler candidate, to stop bernie....

You mean the establishment. Both the Democrats and Republicans will crumble when Gen Y and Gen Z start to get more seats in government. They really think that they can control everything forever, them baby boomers.

No. They know a majority of Gen Z will become just like them.

I wouldn't put too much stock into some posters who were holding Bernie to higher standards than Biden. Because those same posters will hold Biden to standards while not even discussing Trump and will make attack threads on Biden but never an attack thread on Trump. We've seen the game.

 

[NZA]

The,whole point is to get rid of Bernie. They put him in impossible standards, just like those entitled hoes that want Tupac in a Business Suit.

They never had the same energy to Biden, Warren, or even Nazi Trump.

bernie's sin is that he is a bit of a class reductionist. biden's sin is that he thinks black people are too stupid to raise children. the standard bernie is held to is wild

 

[Wild self]

Yep. As a black man, I LOVED spending the bulk of my twenties working 3 jobs at a time paying down credit card debt and student loan debt. Truly some of the more memorable times of my life. Because I know unlike the money I gave to those companies and the time I spent working instead of spending it with family or pursuing other interests and dreams, the hard work is what really benefitted me.

Builds character.

Same story here. Worked 3 jobs from May 2009 when I graduated HU in the height of the great recession, until Dec 2011 when an opportunity came along. 3 jobs barely making over 60k and only getting 4 hours of sleep per night was my life.

Do I wish that for another person who graduated school? He'll Nah. I rather change everything for the greater good, but that story is too corny for the populace because BOOTSTRAPS is more important. They dont want nothing to change.

Did he blame the media for his bad polling? Warren did. Bernie did.

The media has never covered biden unfairly lol

Burying the ongoing Bursima story. Buried the Mandela lie. Buried the civil Rights lie. Doesn't spend a fraction of the time on bidens age and [mental] health as they do Sanders.

Why reach like this bro? Just to make some smug hindsight narrative like everyone cant tell his edge is name recognition?

Did his supporters claim they would rather the DNC be destroyed if Biden didn’t win? Bernie did.

Aaaaand now we're phase shifting into full on bad faith talking about supporters and internet comments

Uhhhh yeah. And the Super PAC that put 12 million of ads in Super Tuesday states for Warren announced today that they won’t be running any more ads for her. Think. They literally did that to split the progressive vote in those states. Now that they did their job they’ve thrown her stupid ass in the trash. shyts blatant

Yes but by staying in now all hes doing is helping bernie. Biden being weak is why he got in and hes strong now

 

[Wild self]

No. They know a majority of Gen Z will become just like them.

Nah, Gen Z ain't down with typical establishment politics. Every generation gets more progressive than the last.

I'm interested to see how deep this Bloomberg rivalry with Trump goes. Was Bloomberg afraid of Bernie only and didn't think Biden could get the job done or is he all in on destroying Trump?

Bloomberg's money from now through October hammering Trump would be an asset to any campaign. We'll find out.

Mission complete!

@wire28 @dora_da_destroyer @Alive in 85 these boys really thought they were donating money to a presidental campaign!

Yeah but every generation become protective of the power it struggled to accumulate from being used by the next one.
