So depressing if Biden wins... why not just put a vacuum cleaner up against Trump. Would have about same change to win...
2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

The DNC is happy with losing the election if they don’t get their first choice of candidate...that is your contention? Think about that for a minute.
You do realize they already know none of Bernie’s more ambitious plans will make it through Congress, right? Ergo, no seismic reformation of the party necessary.
It’s like all the posts showing Biden’s ugly side has gone in one ear and out the other. As if being a Democrat for a long time is some gold standard for Presidency. This attitude and thinking really deserves more Trump.
No, but neither are you. At least I am not part of a religious group like you and the other fanatical Bernie bros.
This just sounds weird. If Bernie is going to get those people to vote for him then he'll win surely?
It’s not a rally either. It’s a screwover.
Yeah, as a general rule, Democrats tend to vote for Democrats. Additionally, as a general rule, people like to work with people who get things done, even if those things are not always ideal.
I still think a lot of people here underestimate the Independent/not a Democrat aspect of Sanders and what it means for his support in primary elections and then also crucially for his chances to win a contested convention. You can't just show up one day, show that you have 30-40% support of the party's electorate (which is nonetheless impressive) and then strong-arm the party into handing you the keys without any further compromise.
How dare we want someone who stands up for us and against the billionaire class who buys politicians. Religious my ass. Wind your neck in.
They were willing to work with Bloomberg so your logic fails again.
When is the last time you've been to america?
Show me some data that independents support Sanders more than Biden.
Independents (while belonging to many categories, like far left, centrists, anarchists, libertarian, or far right) for the most part are moderates/centrists. Why Sanders is going to do some well with them?
As of now, Sanders has 2 categories of voters: the left-wing, and the kids who think that revolution is cool and facts don't matter.
One second ago.
All centrist candidates attacked Bloomberg as much as possible in the debates.
Wanting your political leader to win is totally understandable. Becoming part of a neo-religion is quite risky though.
Insulting another member
You're a European dipshit who spends half your time posting "+1" on github and the other half pontificating on what connects to the people of west virginia.
Revan, I am agreeing with you.
it me, the reddit poster from europe who knows all about america and americans. bernie sanders? that's an epic fail.
I believe the main attacker was Warren.
Are you purposely being this obtuse or do you really think people like me are in a political religion? Because you sound like you’re on a windup there.
Am i missing something or are these turnout numbers very low for all groups ?
(The 13% for 18-29 year olds is awful for Sanders)
(The 13% for 18-29 year olds is awful for Sanders)
Hmm and how did he even get into the debate in the first place? This guy was a Republican his whole life may I remind you but feck context right?
We’re you expecting them to add up to more than 100%?
It's pretty obvious at this juncture he's not going to have the kind of youth surge his supporters speculate based on absolute zero evidence at all.
We heard all that nonsense about youthquakes with Corbyn and look how that turned out.
Absolutely. But Biden and Buttigieg attacked him quite a lot too.
Bernie wins Vermont in the shock of the evening.
I am saying that some of Bernie bros are showing almost religious-like devotion to his cult.
Actually, he was Democrat most of his time. But he was for a few years a Republican when he was leading a blue city.
Progressives don’t like Biden == BeRnIe BrOs are a religious cult. Wind up it is, then.
It's was always based more on the idea that young people will come out if they are offered something like real change. It's only possible to know if this will happen if you try it and I can't blame people for having a go at the very least.
It was a bit different with Corbyn tbh.
Removing your lips from the corporate dick = Bernie bros cult luls.
Biden should make Jim Clyburn take a pic of whatever cabinet position he wants. He has single handedly brought Biden back from the dead. Amazing
This myth that Obama’s time was all sunshine and daisies and that we need to return to that is more akin to religion than the bullshit Revan is trying to spout.
Well I can't blame someone for trying to appeal to them but it surprises me that people still think relying on youth voters to turnout is a winning strategy. It doesn't seemingly matter how much you try to appeal to them, they won't turn up. Virtually across the western world young people just don't vote even when a candidate is extremely favourable for them.
Unfortunately I fear the Sanders fans will blame elsewhere and push conspiracies rather than blame this kind of shocking turnout. He bet his stake on them and they failed him (it seems anyway).
Acting like a cult is another matter though.
I don't even like Biden, but if most of the people vote him, so be it. Acting with some superiority complex on the other hand.
Let's be fair, until 2 days ago, people were saying 'oh my God, the evil establishment is going to steal the nomination from Sanders even if he wins the will of the people. The fecker'. Now, 'the will of the people' probably is gonna choose Biden to be the nominee. Accept it and move on, don't cry conspiracy, these elections(unlike the last ones) seem to be fair.
Last time South Carolina was so influential in politics, a Civil War happened.Biden should make Jim Clyburn take a pic of whatever cabinet position he wants. He has single handedly brought Biden back from the dead. Amazing
