I stuttered a lot when I was younger and it still happens sometimes.
Apathy and voter suppression.It is absolutely a problem that a significant portion of our country can't be assed to vote. Even if you want to chalk it up to accountability, it's still a problem that they aren't being accountable. Even if you ignore just the youth, our country is a joke compared to others when it comes to turnout.
Bernie links himself to Obama.
Because the idea of power brokers is specifically against their messages. Bernie had by far the biggest ground operation of the field. Bloomberg did way more work buying up "power broker" endorsements. Name recognition prevailedJust amazes me that damn near half the candidates wanted to shyt on Obama as if he's not the most popular politician in the fukking country - and possibly the world.
It's more to it than just doing rallies. I'm amazed Bernie (and Warren) did little to nothing to reach out to those black areas or power brokers.
The fact that Hillary won the black vote by pandering without real action just proves his point.
Any I've been very clear that Bernie bros not showing up is to blame for his failures, not southern black folks. Bernie should have tried to win them over, but I'm not gonna pretend like Democrats actually give a fukk about black people and he doesn't.
went from this:At this point Bernie Bros are basically admitting that the Sanders campaign didn't make the necessary in roads despite a 4 years head start and massive operation.
And now that is somehow the voter's fault and not the campaign.
This is the complete opposite of what y'all have been saying that you have to earn voters and that's on the candidate.
But the south is where the delegates are. This is how Obama stomped Hillary. It's how Hillary stomped Bernie. You need to win those voters. Bernie was always going to be at a disadvantage because Biden has a connection with black people (Obama's VP), but he could have done far more to reach out to them.
I always quote this, but it's worth doing so again. In 2008 when asked why he campaigned in rural white republican districts where he knew he'd lose, Obama said he did it because just showing your face and talking to people there would result in a 15 point loss instead of a 30 point loss. That cold blooded focus on margins is what you need to win. Hillary ignored those places in 2016 and racked up a lot of 30-40 point losses. Biden isn't going to make that mistake. Bernie is making it right now by not even trying to reach out these voters. It might be too late.

Embrace the depressing reality. Please just cut it out with the pundit crap
Can someone answer this question? We’ve quickly pivoted away from the claim that Bernie is a great general election candidate who will mobilize working class and non voters, to moral resignation that he can’t do establishment politics. If he can’t win over any of these essential voting blocs, what’s the point?you should consider that america is not a radical left country, and is not ready for bernie's revolution
i mean im sorry, but im still waiting for someone to explain how bernie beats trump in a general when he can't beat joe biden in a field that only includes democrats. if bernie was going to beat trump in november, with his "excited base", he should be DESTROYING biden in the primary. but he's not even winning outright![]()
