Sanders lead is getting a little bigger in texas

[Chinook]

The progressive wing didn't ing vote. Or they got conned by the electability argument. No reason they wouldn't be again. I can't think of a bigger middle finger to the Democratic establishment than 2016, but here were are again with them winning the chance to go do the same again in 2020. There is no Bernie Sanders for 2024.

Yeah, that's the big problem. ALL of the notable candidates were really old, to the point that it's hard to imagine any running in 2024, let alone 2028. I see no future for the party right now. Empty suits like Pete and Beto will be okay for the establishment wing. But there isn't anyone to drive the debate now.

Can sanders keep in tell Arizona debate and take on joe Biden in debate

Universal Basic Income. Essentially what Yang wanted to do. It's out-there as right now, and it doesn't make sense to implement it today. But it's gonna have to be seriously discussed in the near future, and it would help if we started figuring out how it could work now.

Yeah it’s an elephant in the room no one wants to touch. Over the next 25-30 years a huge chunk of corporate level desk jobs are going to get automated the same way manufacturing jobs over the last 40 years have been getting automated. Without something like UBI were going to have huge unemployment and massive poverty once that waive of automation happens.

But who does? Buttigieg was empty suit #3 that the DNC has tried out for Obama 2.0. It's like the GOP finding another Regan. It took them seven elections to get another generational guy. The dems will have to deal with base hits who don't have too much stink of them and let the new messiah come naturally.

Kaepernick will turn 35 in November 2023

Lebron James might run for democracts

[ChumpDumper]

It doesn't really matter now honestly. Bernie trying to say I edged Biden out in Texas at the convention isn't going to mean since the state is ruby red. And it shouldn't mean .

So we need an electoral college for primaries too?

nah, because he won't win either Ohio or Florida tbh.

[DarrinS]

If anyone screwed Bernie tonight, it was Warren.

[Reck]

Biden on the verge on taking the lead in Tejas.

Spank her

[ElNono]

I was just trolling...like you.

The guys you decided to skip were being ultra racists toward certain voters and candidates. Sorry about Bernie, son. You and BB are still my go to techys.

Ehhh.. I'm not a Bernie fan, I thought he had a better chance than Old Joe to win the general, that's all.

As long as there is an electoral college for the actual election yeah, Texas votes shouldn't mean much for nominating a Democrat to run for president in the case of a brokered convention. They should certainly mean a lot less than Virignia, North Carolina, Minnesota, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania votes since they don't mean in the real election.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Texas is within 0.1

[AaronY]

[Trainwreck2100]

I think what happened, is that Bernie's path to victory was Trump's 2016, let the other candidates cannibalize each other until super tuesday and then take a big enough lead, nobody can catch up. Bernie's strength this entire time was that he consistently polled at 20-25%. With the exception of the deep south, he got around 20-25%, he never found a way to consistently expand his base.

[Millennial_Messiah]

check out RCP... back to virtual tie... Bernie lost double digit lead in a NY minute.

well at least we know Biden will win VA and PA against Trump. Not sure about the other states, but MN looks promising for Ol' Joe too.

But where does the money come from? If Texas dems are huge financial contributors, they do deserve a legit voice, even if their actual votes don't count.
