2020 Dem primaries discussion thread

Bernie wins California.

I guess antifa came out to vote.

[DMX7]

Warren has to get out now. 3rd place in her own state.

[Will Hunting]

So, no?

A few posts below that re :

I think he could have done more to combat the fear of the unknown. I never heard him make the “We nominated a moderate 4 years ago and she lost” argument even when it was begging to be made.

Still think it’s a massive up to pick someone like Biden who’s an effective you to the Bernie voters. Wouldn’t even need someone like Warren to appease the Bros imo, instead the DNC picked a guy who’s widely known for being a moderate.

Bernie wins California.

Bernie got saved. Probably goes down as a wash tonight. But he's going to come out really hurt after tonight. He lost in too many key states.

[Nathan89]

Oh well they can keep getting ed by student loans and stagnant wages, serves them right since they don't seem to give a .

People can choose not to go to college to get degrees that are not in demand.

Biden withing 2 points of Sanders in Tex.

[Spurtacular]

With the DNC, MSM and PACs all working tirelessly to stop him. It also hurts him that there’s no more debates between now and March 17...I think a head to head debate would do wonders for Bernie.

Only path I see for him is a huge Biden up.

Commie Cuck will have to be a cut or two above; but Creepy Joe looks so pitiful so often. So, we'll see.

Yeah that’s kinda my feeling as well at this point. I’m a millennial but no debt and contributed the max to Sanders so just fine financially. If the ones with six figures of student loan debt and a job at Starbucks can’t bother to vote in midterms or primaries then why the should I care about them.

Yeah honestly I don't give two s about their student loans and wages if they don't. But I do want universal healthcare so in 10-15 years when I'll really need the healthcare system I won't be fighting with insurance companies constantly like I had been every time my parents would get something done until they turned 65 and got on Medicare A + B + G where there are no surprise bills any more.

I'd love to see leftist whites turn on blacks.

[Spurtacular]

Watching MSNBC. So, this is where you guys are getting the idea that Bloomberg gives a about Biden beating Trump.

Thrill up the leg time?

Maybe naive but I think we’ll have benchmark changes to healthcare in the next 15 years with or without a candidate like Sanders. After Biden loses to Trump I think the DNCs Dem candidate In 2024 is going to be a progressive who’s not for like student loan forgiveness but is for expanded Medicare and a real public option.

oh look nathan fantasizing about race war

Those endorsements probably didn’t hurt Biden either. Sanders got blindsided yesterday after SC.

Blacks have turned on themselves by listening to uncle toms like Jim Clyburn.

You mean like the way righty whites do? I don't get your desire here.

[DMX7]

Biden is going to win Texas. WOW.

There it is

[ElNono]

voting today felt quite eerie... i'm used to the packed, line-filled stations in LA. there were about 4-5 people at my polling place here in charlottesville

and was surprised to learn the virginia primary requires voter ID

tbh, we had Soros voting practice today... voted in Cali, Texas, Massachusetts and Iowa.

[vy65]

Biden is going to win Texas. WOW.

Within 1.9% now. If Biden wins, that’s really bad for comrade.

[Spurtacular]

if the Republican nominee sounded half as re ed as Biden Democrats would be ting all over him.

Yup. Chumpettes are very shameless narrative driven. Always have been.

I don't see it. Sanders was the one chance to remake the Democratic party the same way Trump has done the GOP. I see the next 15 years as the GOP taking the working class that was once the Democrats' base. Makes me think of this passage from a Bill Simmons article:

https://grantland.com/features/simmo...-championship/

There’s a poignant moment in Jonathan Abrams’s oral history about the 2002 Kings, right after the section covering their gut-wrenching Game 7 defeat, when a Sacramento employee named Devin Blankenship remembers his coworkers consoling one another. They were saying all the right things about losing to the Lakers. It’s just the beginning. This is the start of something bigger. You can’t win the big one until you lose a few tough ones. Their boss overheard and went the other way, wondering aloud, What if that was it? What if that was our shot?

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 .

[Reck]

Bernie's Texas lead is gone. Down to 1.4%
