In closed primaries, it's not reflective of the electorate as a whole. So good luck with that.
Is it, then, your opinion that Sanders is more popular with the electorate as a whole than he is with registered Democrats?

You can laugh, enjoy it. But Biden is going to lose.
Possibly so, but how, in your view, would Sanders do against Trump -- better or worse than Biden?

What a weird thing to write. Who cares what they think?
People who realize that Mitch McConnell is more in touch with what HIS party and HIS voters think than we are. He's practically begging Republican judges who are thinking about retiring to do it now so that another Republican can be guaranteed to be appointed to those lifelong positions. You don' t do that when you're extremely confident YOUR party will still be in power after January.

Because he see's the writing on the wall, and can read what it says.

Trump doesn't think so - and neither does Mitch McConnell.

In times of great turmoil, people don't want revolution, they want safety and familiarity. Of course, the Russians may still be in all our voting machines and this is a moot conversation.
So, are Russians in our voting machines in the primary? This is a great question. What are the Russians doing right now?

The first step is to make sure the piece of toast and the iPhone share a common language. You don’t want a German pumpernickel and a British iPhone trying to sync up. So before you can even begin to teach the piece of toast to text, you're going to have to address regional settings...

The landslide is going to come in November when Biden loses.

Welcome to political disappointment. Are you new to this? I wouldn't think so, but you are acting as if you are putting a hex upon us all or you have a crystal ball because your guy didn't make it.

Hey, my first presidential vote was Michael Dukakis. Then, of course there were those that I really liked this time; Castro, Warren, Harris, etc... If it is okay to say that Biden being in the race squashed their chances, then it is equally fair to say the same of Sanders, isn't it?

Some of your "allies", the ones you only have that transactional relationship you described? They'll vote for Trump and maybe your wish will come true. It is sounding like a wish, you know?

Alas, just some messaging confusion. Apparently Bernie still needs to squeeze some more out of his flock.

In my last post, I had a sentence about how Bernie might do as he did last time, hang in until the bitter end, officially endorsing Biden but winking and nodding at Bernie or Bust people and Bernie Bros, nor would he do much to quell the vigor and rancor of the people he has hired in promotion division.

I removed it from my post after seeing yours. Figured it was time to bring it back out.

It might not be clear from how against him for the nomination I've been this time, but I like Bernie. I still have a "Birdie Sanders" sticker from 2016 and I think a lot of his ideas are where we need to be heading over the next several years (just not as fast as was promised). I don't think he can win and I think we need a calming, stabilizing force right now (not revolution), but I think its admirable that he is dropping out now. He's not just going to unify the party if he works to do so from this, he's saving lives by cancelling the need for people to congregate in states where they won't allow vote by mail/drop off.

In a move that surprises absolutely no one the Chapo douchebags have switched up their grift to Trump.

Reality must be such a bitter pill to swallow when you’ve been putting all your faith in conspiracy nutters.
Old and interesting thread about 419 scams and Trump voters.


Seems to me if one could get their hands on Bernie’s mailing list you’d have a rich source of suckers.

Sanders is done. Where doe this leave Biden? Biden is going to need something in his arenal more than just defeating Trump during a national crisis.

A revolution is here. It's not the one that anybody expected or wanted.

The Obama solutions did not included a pandemic. That ship has sailed.

Biden is going to have to lay down a new vision and show that he is a revolutionary leader, whether he wanted to or not.

Rooting for Trump to fail is rooting for Americans to fail. Patriotism returns. Biden will have to play ball on this field.
