Current Affairs 2020 Democratic Primary

[Death]

yep unfortunately the voters yesterday were not bright enough to figure that out and went with the media.

Sanders is desperate now. He is literally trying to rally the people in the remaining states. To what end it will work we shall see.

I did vote for him and am disappointed at the outcome but at the same time ragging on the the guy who will take the spot furthers the message that you don't care if your fans vote for him. It proves Sanders detractors correct.

This in part is why he lost some Democrats. If he doesn't want to work with them and help the party. The party her would need if he got the gig to get anything passed.

Other than that its out of his hands really.

What states are left and how many are more left leaning. It’s neck and neck vertically right now. I wonder what’s left in the race and who’s likely to get what state

this beating trump by any means is blinding people and will cost them the election.. joe is not stable just listen to him talk ffs.. even last night he messed up

It’s entirely possible that you are right, and Biden ends being unable to beat Trump. However, based on interacting with actual voters, I just don’t think Sanders’ platform is palatable to enough people to win the general. The Democratic strategy has always hinged largely on getting massive voter turnout, and a think a Sanders nomination causes a lot of people to stay home. He’s just too far left for a significant portion of the American population.

considering all polls have had him beating trump by almost the same amount as biden is for months now I consider that worry a made up thing by the establishment/media in the party/DNC just to turn people off sanders they know what there doing.

This proves you are clueless. Of course it matters. The DNC can't buy votes. They can try sway people but they physically cant get people to change their mind. You are simply coming up with conspiracies and excuses now.

lol the DNC can't buy votes .. ye right.. they use money and ad's plus the media to try to tell people who to vote for there "guy" that counts to me. you underestimate how much power the DNC truly has if they hate a canidate as much as they hate sanders.

I hear ye mate but can’t give up plenty left to fight for. It was always going to be an uphill battle against the system.Winning the first 3 states I was caught up in blind optimism. The campaign now knows it has abig fight. CNN and co were always against Sanders. Just hope the Sanders campaign has a few tricks up its sleeve. He needs to get a bit dirty and dumb it down. He has the support of policy minded he needs to get some zombies on board.

off the top of my head the big delegate states left would be

Michigan - Biden
Florida - Biden
Georgia - Biden
New Jersey - Biden
Connecticut - Biden
New York - Biden (sanders might have an outside chance)
Illinois - Biden
Washington - Sanders
Arizona - toss up
Pennsylvania - Biden
Louisiana - Biden
Wisconsin - Biden (sanders with an outside shot)
Oregon - Sanders
Maryland - Biden

There's a bunch of smaller ones too that'll likely go for Biden.
So really Sanders only has the pacific north west.

Sanders is losing because.people seem to prefer Biden simple as that. The DNC might have asked those who withdrew to endorse Biden and back him financially but that's that. Theres nothing else they can do legally to force the issue. It's all about delegates and a majority and potentially a decision tone made if it's too close.

Every nominee spends money on ads. They can spend what they like as we have seen from Bloomberg. It did nothing for him as hes out.

Sure the DNC can get together and favor a candidate but when it comes to actual.voting they have absolutely no say.

The people did what they wanted to and voted who they wanted. No one forced them or paid them too.

Stop making stuff up. Embarrasing.

Well maybe Sanders should have figured out this after 2016, joined the party, compromised and built coalitions to avoid being pushed out.

I know right. Instead of trying to change it from the outside which never works. Change it from the inside. Work with them build their trust and then convince them your way is better.

Just curious, but how many people who are actually eligible to vote in the American election do you interact with in a daily basis? I live in a state where nearly 2/3 of the people voted for Trump in 2016. As I said, I’ve talked to dozens of people who are disappointed with the way Trump has conducted himself in office, and will not be voting for him again. With that said, I can’t think of a single of these same people who have indicated even the slightest willingness to support Bernie if he were to be the nominee. They would just sit this election out. I suppose this mindset could be uniquely isolated to Tennessee, but I doubt it.

I am guessing not many Americans.

Given that he cannot get his head around why Biden might be more popular than Sanders in certain states and thinks its purely down to power and conspiracies.

No offense Death but think Sanders should look elsewhere than hiring you to a communications post

“come on deplorables err zombies, vote for Sanders”
