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

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.

They’ll deny literally all of these facts and tell us it’s because our candidates are shytty

That's why Biden was chosen, to get that number down to 27-30% Tough task but he can do it.

Doubtful, 35-40% will support Trump regardless of anything that happens, the last three years have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

The election will come down to turnout and nothing else. I think everybody knows where they stand on Trump at this point, few minds will change in that regard, it's just a matter of who shows up.

Bernie needs to bring up this exact moment



Put it in an ad, and at the end say “What changed, Joe?” Allude to his donors in the health insurance industry. Like...come the fukk on.

I mean goddamn Bernie’s campaign people suck fukking ass. They have the money but are doing a shytty job at literally everything

Legalizing marijuana is an all lives matter issue

Progressives always equate illegal activities to Black Americans.

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?

In a literal sense he's still in it trailing less than 100 delegates

But the remaining states are not so Bernie friendly and he underperformed in areas he needed huge wins in. The forecast is bad

He's nowhere near 40% at this point and definitely won't be by November. He has lost a decent number of his original voters and has not gained enough to break even or add to his original base.

The same thing that hurt Dems last time will hurt them again if they don't work to prevent it, a low voter turn out. A low voter turnout allows Trump to target delegates instead of running a complete campaign which gives him too many opportunities to turn off potential sympathizers.

He had a good run

Stay in line

538 has Trump at 43.2% approval right now, which isn't much different than when he was elected.

I'd like to think that's inaccurate and his actual approval is lower, but I don't really see any reason to think so.

The Democrats, y’all. This man said Biden has been talking too much about policy. And good fukking night

yep one guy on one show who has not a damn thing to do with Biden's behavior says some nonsense and it must be the law. And this bull got daps. Pathetic.

Bernie Boys in here mad as fukk. I just got in and settled from work. About to read through everybody's tears real quick.

So they should have no problem if progressives started their own party right

what's stopping them? The youth will still stay home and they'll still lose elections. The dudes that put out those tweets aren't the enemy. It always comes back to the voters!

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.

Bernie was not vetted in 2016. For the most part the MSM gave him a pass, b/c they didn't view him as a legitimate threat. Even now, the most watched news channel, Fox News, has been tame in their coverage of him in order to prop him up for Trump. Hell, Republicans are telling their constituents to go out and vote for him! Meanwhile, did we forget about what Hillary went through in '16?

Benghazi Hearings were in Fall of '15.

Russians hacked her campaign manager in the Spring of '16.

The Russian IRA started their campaign against Hillary in the Spring of '16.

This on top of the 20 year war the Right had waged against her killing her favorables. This is what a full court press looks like, not a week of negative media coverage. Despite all of this, Hillary still beat Bernie by nearly 4M votes. C'mon man at what point are you guys going to take a critical assessment of your candidate. Dude literally promised a revolution of young voters every single day for the last two years, that has not come to fruition. Who is to blame for that...the legacy media that young people don't even watch??

Why do you still quote me dawg if you obviously have an issue with me? I’m talking about the absurdity of saying Biden has been talking too much policy when he’s ran...on anything but policy. If you can’t even admit that just put me on ignore

edit: did you just call Jim Clyburn “one guy on one show” like he’s a host on MSNBC or something?

Well I mean, I'm sure that's part of it, but I think a lot is just PTSD from 2016.

A lot of people, of both sexes, would be fine with a woman but are just scared to lose to Trump again.

Naw man, do you think Barack Obama had any chance in hell in losing the black male vote? How do white women consistently lose the white woman vote?
