I especially liked this quote: Quote Only a white man would blame black people’s stupidity when his supposedly “diverse coalition of new voters” didn’t bother to show up to vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many more states would Sanders have won if she wasn't in it Probably none. “Second choice” polling of Warren supporters suggests an even split between Bernie and Biden. Bigger question is what would have been the result if Bloomberg dropped out before Super Tuesday? Biden may have actually won California in that scenario. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both side screwed this up for Bernie. The low information sheep black voters and the white young voters who didn't bother to show up. The young not showing up will not go well for Biden in the general. Really at this point it doesn't really matter who wins as both Biden and Trump is going to do essentially the same thing. One just does it loudly and un-civilly. So more tax cut for the rich, tax increase for the middle class, more people not insured, more wars, and of course more cuts to social security. If there is one thing Biden is consistent on is, giving whatever GOP wants in tax cuts to the rich, cuts to social security, and starting more pointless wars. The only difference is going to be scotus where Biden may appoint more moderate judges that actually respect precedence and protect Rode vs. Wade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The good news is that Elizabeth Warren has dropped out of the presidential race. And Mike Bloomberg. And Amy Klobuchar. And that guy with the name we could never pronounce. The bad news is that Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are still in the race on the Democratic side… and Donald Trump runs unopposed for the Republicans. The best you can say about any of them is that their names are easy to spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing is that it took this long to get to two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump lowered taxes for low and many middle income folks. More wars? Where? Social security needs reworking, as it is not sustainable. I doubt he can get anything done with it though... that's a tough nut to crack. Too many people love them some entitlements. And Roe v Wade, well, the decision was unconstitutional to begin with, so there's that. Edited March 7, 2020 by Kragar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised that black folks didn’t vote for Lord Maple of Vermont and his legion of Birkenstock wearing groupies. He did leave very diverse Brooklyn in 1968 for Vermont so he can meet all 5 black folk’ that lived over there. As far as Biden being much like Trump, I don’t have enough patience to debate that one. Its like debating that Mogadishu is better than Vancouver because of cheaper real estate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 5 minutes ago, Ryan Strome said: Is there much chance left for Bernie? I'd say no. There's still plenty of states left that Bernie should win (WA, OR etc). But Bernie won't win those states by large enough margins to collect way more delegates. There's plenty of states left (FL, LA, MS etc) where Biden should blow Bernie out. That's how you collect the lion's share of the delegates. Bernie's best chance is being close enough to cause a ruckus at the convention. But I think we're witnessing the collapse of his campaign. Time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
