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

[Loose]

the democratic party is just not left wing enough for progressives seems like it's that simple

but america as a whole, is also not left wing enough for progressives to ever win shyt. progressives are about a third of america; republicans through moderate democrats are the other two thirds. the math is just not there for the far left

Oh yeah i agree definitely i don't think its big enough for the radical electoral changes that bernie and his surrogates want. Things like medical care 4 all for example has to be done in steps possibly over several presidencies

There's simultaneously multiple people in this thread mocking Bernie supporters for saying that Warren's presence in the race cost them votes and acting like that's a stupid impossible idea while multiple other people are blaming Bernie supporters for his presence costing Warren votes.

He's run a lazy ass campaign. Probably the laziest ever.

But serious question, if Bernie loses to the laziest candidate ever after losing to the worst candidate ever in 2016, what does that say about Bernie? He's either the wrong messenger, or the message is wrong, or it's a combination of both. I know Bernie's your guy, but progressives really should do some soul searching on this.

It says that a full-court press by the media and establishment on your behalf can outweigh your own personal shortcomings.

47% of South Carolina voters said that Rep. Clyburn's endorsement was either a "very important factor" or the "most important factor" in their vote. Nearly HALF the fukking voters said that, and Biden barely even got half the vote. If Clyburn endorses Bernie instead of Biden, that alone would probably have made South Carolina a virtual draw and made Super Tuesday look 100% different, and that's without even factoring in the media pressure and the Buttigieg/Klobuchar (but not Warren) withdrawals and endorsements and the DNC literally going to other candidate's donors and pressuring them to close the purse-strings and get behind Biden.

at the progressives being whats wrong with the Democratic Party.

Picked the wrong rhetoric and swore anyone not down with revolution and beheading oligarchs was a shill. Im cool on that, how about we just go out and work toward changing some shyt tho

I remember my cac co worker pulled her trump bumper sticker off after grab em by the p*ssy. I thought that was it for him but then wiener and comey...

trump can only get/do worse though think about it

are jobs gonna "get better"? of course not. is the stock market gonna "get better"? nah, it just tanked and it's gasping for air. the coronavirus is slowing the world economy to a crawl, which means in 6 months we should be hitting this recession

i mean i dont know for sure, but trump's entire campaign might evaporate on him between now and november. and biden's message, which is pretty much "let's get this fakkit trump out of here", will hold up from now until then...if not get better with time

 

[The G.O.D II]

the good news is that since biden is the perceived frontrunner, people will vote that way next week

sanders is finished

Aren’t you a sanders supporter?

 

[the cac mamba]

Aren’t you a sanders supporter?

i was in 2016 i thought he could beat a trump who hadn't actually been president yet

this time around, ive been a biden supporter since day 1. bernie cant even win his own party, and there's no way he would beat trump in a general

Based on which policy though?

70% of Americans support Medicare-for-All

60% of Americans support free college tuition

75% of Americans support the Green New Deal

67% of Americans support raising the minimum wage to $15

74% of Americans support a 2% wealth tax


I could go on like this for a while. There is OVERWHELMING support in America for the entire progressive platform. When it actually comes down to policies, Americans support them. You saw Bernie Sanders go into a Fox News town hall or a Joe Rogan interview and win people over easily with simply policy statements.

The problem is that the rich control the Republican Party, the rich control the Democratic Party, the rich control the media, the rich control the lobbyists, and the rich control campaign funding. So every single race builds around a concerted effort by both parties and everyone with control over the message to fukk up the messaging and worduse and make progressives look like extremists. The ones in the power positions for the most part know what they're doing, then they get their messages repeated through useful idiots like Napolean and the Twitter brigade who may or may not know what they're doing but "trust" the people in power because "they're the good guys", and then regular citizens believe that messaging because it's all they're hearing and they don't know any better. And it's really, really hard to break through that shyt.

I have to admit I laughed.

You vote for Biden, but then think criticizing Trump for gaffes,corruption, Russia/Ukraine, and lies is a winning strategy?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

I know my fellow Bernie Bros are mad at Liz but let’s make one thing clear

She does not fukk with Biden. They do not like each other. And they’ve been in many fights on opposite sides over the years.

I think we will start to have a clearer picture towards Aug-Sep, that will be when people start putting up candidate signs heavily..

Because I damn sure can't trust the polls or what people are saying. Only thing I can trust is that I can't trust shyt right now

No doubt
I agree with what you're saying. If this corona shyt isn't wrapped up by the end of April... then Trump will probably go down because of the economy.

I'm a newb to this stuff, does Bernie have a chance in hell at this point? What would have to happen for him to win?
