More of this nonsense. Spent a fair bit of time on Reddit explaining to folks that few young people turned out for Bernie in the primary. That space was/is replete with apologists digging every conspiracy out of the book instead of acknowledging that Biden simply drew the most votes. And then of course there's a bit of obviousness that never gets addressed: Trump handing Bernie his ass.
Here we are again. Where are the primary voters? Seems a handful of people care to make noise over the results but only a fraction of that number even care to turn out for them. What does turn out is that most people don't end up giving a fuck about voting anything but the presidential election.
I'm sure the collective delusion feels good to immerse oneself in though.
There was no Biden to begin with. Bernie starts gaining traction and then, what? Biden comes out of the woodwork at the 11th hour to split the dem vote and gets bankrolled to prevent a far-left and progressive democrat party.
Yeah, he was running on donations from the public, but he was absolutely gaining traction. He absolutely was sabotaged.
Yes? Biden won a lot of moderate states on Super Tuesday, and then a bunch of milque toast candidates dropped out and endorsed the same. Sanders strategy was to gain momentum in the early bellwether and had some success. It just didn't translate country wide, and South Carolina showed the beginning of that pretty clearly.
It's neat how red states get to decide who our nominee is. South Carolina should not be a kingmaker. They are not indicative of what a state that helps us in the general acts like.
We wonder why we keep winning the popular vote and losing the electoral college.
The kingmaker idea is why the Bernie campaign focused so heavily on Iowa and New Hampshire. And South Carolina, actually. And I totally agree, the primaries should all be on the same day.
I think the primaries should go from bluest state to reddest.
There were shenanigans to sink Bernie's ship. That being said, while I'd have been happy with him, there's no way he could've won looking at the map in hindsight. So I'm glad because Biden is better than another four years of Trump.
You're 100% correct that all the enthusiasm online didn't turn out young voters in the primary, and all the complaints about old people winning elections are mostly from the same demographic that didn't turn out to vote. They turned out in slightly greater numbers than usual but there is an untapped well of political power to change things if young people actually got each other to vote.
And time and time again you people refuse to look at the collusion against him by the DNC.
What he could have achieved if the party and media had worked with him instead of against him is anyone’s guess, but he did an amazing job in spite of them.
Who tf is "you people"? What makes you think this person is unaware of the blatant smear campaign against Bernie?
