Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

[Death]

Im not trying to be condescending here honestly people who like Warren I do respect but shouldn’t she be endorsing her mate Bernie to counteract what the ‘centrists’ are doing. What is her end goal here. I hear she wants to contested convention but no way she has a shout in that surely?

I could be overly sensitive here, but I see a lot of similarities to how Corbyn was portrayed in the press. About 80% of the articles written about him were about how unelectable he was until it basically became true, and these from outlets that should have been on his side. I'm not saying he would have won otherwise, but "left" moderates seem almost incapable of rallying around a candidate they don't like for the greater good, whereas the Republican party congealed around Putin's tangerine hand-puppet as soon as they saw what side their bread was buttered on. Instead of a million nervous articles about how America isn't ready for a socialist, it would be nice to see the people decide for themselves.

It seems that the Democrats aren’t quite yet ready for a socialist candidate, never mind America.

Say what you like about the UK press but were basically right the Corbyn. He was unelectable to large swathes of the general public. As enticing as his socialist paradise sounds, everywhere it has been tried it eventually ends up completely destroying both the economy and fabric of society.

The trend is for people to escape socialist countries for more capitalist ones, not the other way around.

Sanders doesn’t want to turn the US into Vietnam, despite what Fox News might want you to believe.

His aims are much more along the lines of some of the Scandinavian countries which have some of the highest standards of living in the world... or even the U.K. for goodness sake! Anyone consider us a socialist country??

How is he going to achieve that ?

And also Vietnam is very different now to the communist regime following the war. It may be communist in name but by way of life, economy etc is very different now.

The US is totally different in terms of history, location, population and issues it faces when compared to the Scandinavian countries.

I hear this all the time, but I have heard how it will be achieved. Can you enlighten me BB because Bernie hasn't yet ?

yepp and in my opinion its a mistake because if it does work in bidens favor its gonna anger sanders people who will feel cheated again by the dnc and split the party... I aint joking when I say some of them will vote trump out of spite if they feel cheated like 2016 again. it will happen lol.

yes it is the DNC pulling strings lmao if you think them endorsing biden isn't the dnc getting involved in the backscenes I can't help you.

I'm not sure you understand how it all works do you?

The DNC will always have a favorite candidate and given Sanders history with them that would be Biden. Not.that any of us want Biden.

What they are trying to do is rally the base around Biden and not Sanders that's perfectly normal and quite frankly the fact you are already claiming conspiracy is frightening.

Sanders has a better chance this time around than he did with Clinton ad many lefty moderates simply are less.convinced of biden than they are Sanders.

If Sanders base are already claiming cheating then they must ultimately be concerned that he cant get enough numbers to beat Biden.

But ultimately most of us will vote for whomever gets chosen from the primary hopefully it's not Biden for me.

Sick of Sanders die hards crying foul with every day despite absolutely nothing shady going on right now. It's normal for a party to prefer one candidate over another. Sure there was some.shady crap last time but maybe wait to see an outcome before claiming cheating

I’ll be brutally honest... I meant to type Venezuela lol

And thereby proving the hypothesis that it has nothing to do with policy or beliefs, but simply a cult of personality, and how dare you not agree with us - here, burn it all down!

Unless you can highlight why voting for someone whose policy aims are the absolute polar opposite to Sanders’ makes more sense thanvoting for someone who is just less left?

Apart from Ireland, Canada, pretty much all of Europe, the UK, wherever you're probably from etc. I agree, it destroys everything it touches

One plus is that hopefully after today I won't get any more mail from Bloomberg - about half our mail this week has been flyers for him!
