he’s crushing it because primaries are being held in states that aren’t lily white

it’s becoming very obvious that neither Bernie or Warren did nearly enough to make their case to non-white voters

You’re saying if warren was a completely different person than she is, and if the dynamics of the party were not what they are, things would be different for Bernie. That’s a pedantic observation. Endorsements for Biden wasn’t a ploy, this is a very common part of primaries. The endorsement game is the biggest game— endorsements are the most reliable predictor of the nominee (except with trump). I don’t think the math works out either that warren supporters are numerous enough to give Bernie more victories.

Biden makes a scene in Cleveland by trying to walk to Robbens Island to free Mandela. Sensing an opportunity Tulsi leads her army of neckbeards and red pilled philosophers to takeover the convention. Obama, realizing that this is when he needs to endorse a candidate, endorses Michelle who wins on the second vote. Trump has his supreme court determine that she is actually a foreign man and not eligible. Trump wins, but the amphetamines and burgers do him in. President Pence appoints his wife to VP. Fox News rejoices Vice President Mother.

I think that’s a bit harsh. I don’t think Sanders or his campaign did anything wrong wrt black voters. I simply think they really trust and like Joe Biden. They have more skin in the game in this thing then a lot of us (me included and especially) and I simply refuse to judge them for believing that.

"If the North Carolina exit polls are any indication, Biden still has a problem with young voters.

However, voters between 45 and 64 went for Biden 47 percent to 18 percent, while Biden routed Sanders 55 percent to 8 percent among those 65 or over."

usually candidates drop out before they take 3rd in their own state. pretty clear it's an anti-Bernie strategy at this point.

3/3/2020 10:32:24 PM

Projected North Carolina delegation based on the 65% reporting number:

Biden 63, Sanders 36, Bloomberg 8, Warren 3

Those numbers have Bloomberg on 14.35%, so he'll take some away from Biden and Sanders if he gets up to 15%.

2 of Warren's projected 3 come from the 4th district of David Price.

Warren was ALWAYS anti-bernie. I blew the whistle on that years ago. She undermined Bernie in 2016 by not endorsing and undermined him by running in 2019 and now is undermining him by staying in.


It took me 3 minutes to vote last time in LA. They got rid of polling places and this time it took 4 hours. The line is now around two corners past the point where I waited 4 hours. This is not a coincidence. Its voter suppression.

Biden spent a grand total of $11,772 in Massachusetts, per CNN.

Latest update to N.C. delegation based on 84% reporting numbers: Biden 64, Sanders 38, Bloomberg and Warren 4 each

One thing I'll say looking at prospective delegate counts is I'm not seeing many states where a guy is getting a clear majority. Texas is going to be a 3-way split where Bloomberg takes a significant number in 3rd.

Some quirks due to the 15% threshold: Sanders in 2nd is at 16% in Alabama, Biden presently at 14% in Utah.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) took a shot at Sen.

Sanders, referencing a Politico article about how centrist Democrats are flocking to Warren’s campaign in an effort to ensure he doesn’t win the nomination, tweeted that the “corporate wing” of the Democratic Party is intent on electing anyone but him. “The cat is out of the bag,” Sanders tweeted. “The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly ‘anybody but Bernie.’ They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class.”" The cat was never in the bag Bernie. How could you not have noticed this in the past 4 years? We could have built a viable 3rd party by now but you are naive that they will come around. Improbable odds for progressives to have to defeat Warren before we can take on Biden and then have to defeat Biden before we can take on Trump.

Bernie needs to work on growing his coalition

3/4/2020 12:30:10 AM

Yeah Biden's base is tiny but everyone endorse him. Bernie's base is huge but Warren won't endorse him. Its almost like other people endorsing you is how you grow a coalition.

3/4/2020 12:38:25 AM

It’s almost as if Bernie isn’t as popular or likeable in primary races as his ardent supporters insist he is...

3/4/2020 1:16:13 AM

He's the most popular single candidate maybe ever. Who has had more donors?

3/4/2020 1:19:40 AM

I mean, I guess donors is one measure of popularity. Another is votes.

3/4/2020 1:22:06 AM

Or delegates. Can’t forget those...

3/4/2020 1:23:11 AM

Well yeah, Biden has more support than Bernie ONLY after the rest of the party teams up with him and its Bernie vs all.

The question is what if the party teamed up with Bernie? Would that coalition be stronger than this Biden coalition that is barely beating solo Bernie? The answer to that is a resounding yes.

Of course thats impractical because the party cares more about blocking the progressive agenda.

3/4/2020 2:28:39 AM

This was an absolute master stroke by establishment democrats, to be honest. Terrible for progressives or anyone who wants to use the apparatus of the state to help working people, but brilliant for maintaining the status quo.

Let's recap:

Lilly-white Iowa is intentionally bungled, and the progressive popular vote winner is denied the media bump for an entire week, while Pete Buttigieg, an empty suite who speaks in useless platitudes with no substance and with no chance of winning is propped up, only to later roll his endorsement to the late surge candidate in Biden.

All the while, Biden, who absolutely ate shit for the first few primaries, focused all of his energy on South Carolina and was able to use that Obama sheen with a few completely fabricated lies about getting arrested in South Africa (lolol...just big-dicked that made-up story without any pushback) and rode a positive media wave to Super Tuesday without spending any campaign money.

Additionally, a nice coordinated effort by the Obama team helped clear the moderate lane and fold the endorsements of Klob, Beto, and the propped up Iowa winner in Pete to boost Biden's numbers.

Meanwhile, the only other left alternative candidate, who can't even win her home state and has no viable path to victory remains in the race to siphon votes from upper middle class white "progressives." She'll endorse Biden as soon as Bernie is disposed of and collect her reward within the Democratic machine when the time comes.

The night of Super Tuesday ends, the largest state in California is too early to call, and the media narrative firmly declares that Biden is the big winner of the night, giving him the boost he needs going into the convention.


Absolutely brilliant political maneuvering on the part of the Democratic establishment. Just an absolute textbook example of how to manage a democracy and manufacture consent among the voting public.

Never let anyone tell you that the Democratic Part can't fight tooth and nail to win a election. They absolutely can.

They just refuse to do it to fight the right wing, which is why Trump will win re-election.

Sooooo.........fuck

3/4/2020 3:39:19 AM

California ALWAYS takes days or weeks to call. They allow mail in ballots provided they are post marked the day of the election. This isn't new, it isn't some vast conspiracy.

Considering that young voters had a turnout of 13% last night, the reason Sanders didn't have a great night is pretty evident
