Congratulations to the two people on ERA that support Biden.
I still believe that the US would be better off with more viable parties and the need to form coalitions. Both parties seem to be extremely resilient to meaningful progressive change. The GOP went off the deep end a while ago but I don't think the Democrats are able to bring the kind of radical change the world needs right now, not with such a strong moderate force.
My main, short-term hope is that Trump gets destroyed in November (I have doubts that Biden is capable of this). But I think there are broader issues that need to be addressed.
Outspent BIden 2:1 and lost in states BIden didn't even set foot in. Problem isn't some boogeyman, it's Bernie.
Come on you know he'll try and eliminate the 2 term limit. More like #Trumpuntilhedies.
If you don't support Bernie you support Biden. No way around it.
What does this post even mean I literally said I agree with you, I understand why they are voting for Biden? Joe Biden isn't Barack Obama tho. What am I dismissing? What do I need to learn, because you can help me learn.
Bernie would have been fucked in Florida anyway as it's a terrible state for him regardless, but the Castro stuff was a complete self-own at a moment in time that he could have won over some moderate support if he hadn't doubled down on his left-wing ideologue rhetoric. But Bernie gonna Bernie
He doesn't need to though, he has plenty of kids who are eligible to run for president which will create the same effect.
He'll make it so they take over when he dies. His ego is too great to let anyone else take over.
So Bernie can't beat a dead campaign with zero funds that is losing votes to Bloomberg but is the only candidate that can beat Trump. Makes sense.
I would require a constitutional amendment. It would be easier for him to just declare himself dictator for life.
I'll vote for Joe if he ultimately is the nominee, but shit that dude ran only by taking responsibility for Obama policies, being incoherent at times during debates, among other things. Sanders has been Consistent in his message, his standing by his statements, and genuinely wanting to improve the lives of everyone (besides the very rich) even more than what Obama has done.
I know not all states have this, but in my state(AZ) we have mail in voting month in advance and it's super easy and none of my friends give a crap. :/ Like at some point we got to look at the mirror and self reflect or else none of this is ever going.l to change because the boomers sure as hell aren't going to do it for us.
Just talk to some old black folks (should be a bunch in PA originally from the South) and listen to what they have to say. Tonight's results may be less shocking after that happens. That's all.
I bet 100% he will try and get it amended. You really put it past him and his cult?
Speaking for myself, I'm gonna vote for Bernie in primary. I'm not his biggest fan or anything.
haha
no
Bidens history is clearly marked and signed. He was for more prisons and cops, he is against sanctuary cities, he was chosen by Obama because he was the ultimate white moderate VP to soothe white moderates fears of a black president.
Why spend money when Pete and Amy did the campaign for you?
Before you go with the tried-and-failed "Wait for the old people to die and then everything will be okay" approach to people voting against Bernie, maybe you could start by... Talking to them? Convincing them Bernie's policies would benefit them? Maybe even making concessions to them?
I think the biggest news of the day is that Warren got 50 delegates. The Liz surge is real! Bernie should drop out and stop splitting the progressive vote.
The man voted to prevent student loans from being applicable to bankruptcy and to allow pharmaceutical companies to engage in price fixing.
I don't think you're right at all. But I hope you are.
"It'd be great if we could roll back a woman's right to her own body", "wouldn't it be swell if we could prevent non-white and/or poor people from immigrating here?", "it would be awesome if corporations got massive tax cuts and social safety nets got gutted simultaneously!"...
This is all trash that conservatives got hard over, but they seemed like pipe dreams... until they actually decided to come out and vote for people to implement it.
So I don't understand your comment about it being " Easier to believe in the thing that sounds good rather than acknowledge reality."... If there's a policy or structural change you think would benefit the community as a whole, vote for it! Support candidates that will implement it. The Right understands this but the moderate Left is busy wringing its hands over who the better foil to lose against Trump will be.
Bernie won't and shouldn't concede and Biden will not pick a progressive. He'll pick a establishment Moderate, maybe even someone of color, but someone still towing that centrist ideology.
Yes. He'd need 2/3rds of the House and Senate. He'd have an easier time simply overthrowing the government.
Everyone in here claiming Trump has already won if candidate X gets the nom, either put your ~money~ account where your mouth is, or shut up. Perm ban if Trump loses to X. This shit is getting tiring to read.
so if pete and klob didnt run these voters would have voted for sanders instead of biden?
lol this are the same people who write articles on how Millennials are lazy and are broke because they love avocado toast. They sold out our futures during the Reagan era and will continue to do so. I know, I've tried talking to and convincing old people. They don't want to hear from a generation they don't respect.
he did have an active role, ACA was largely a biden/reid production for example. love him or hate him he wasn't just a guy to stand in for the president at funerals
