2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Loose]

Bernie Bros are really turning off a lot in the party that aren't too the far left, which is still a lot of the party.

Sorry I was born and raised in NY where my middle class income would clearly make me r wherever you live. Sorry I have two kids that I have to provide for. Sorry I have to pay into my retirement, which people like cac Mamba think I don't pay anything into. I have no problem paying a little more for taxes to expand the current system. But hey I got mine

They're even worse on social media, a lot of Bernie's media supporter have been flat out slandering Liz for the past 5 months. Honestly its fukking digusting regardless of if it's not how he feel he should have been stepped in.

Warren has conceded South Carolina. Shes making Neveda her last stand by moving all her $$$ there According to Bernie senior advisor

Fox is playing a dangerous game. Normalizing the Sanders campaign to their audience and having their folks on all the time.... I dunno. It seems like they’re being petty and doing it to spite other democrats but it could backfire

 

[BillBanneker]

The question is who's going to get their numbers up to the 40s and 50s.

It'll take a good number of candidates dropping out for that to happen IMO.

he should step in and comment on a bunch of rando Facebook posts from a bunch of nobodies in rural NY ?

Negged and fukk you. You're literally trying to justify people's actual lives and suffering are less important to you than you having a tax increase.

You're no different than any of these piece of shyt right wing Republicans HL loves to rail about.

Yup wanting the public option and continuing to expand our current system makes me as bad as Republicans. Eat a dikk

Actually Beto and Pete’s campaigns are textbook white male privilege. Biden was trying to coast on yesterday’s, but he has all the paper bonafides to be running. Beto has none, simply said he was born to do it, and Pete was immediately backed by billionaires on GP of being young, white, male, and controllable. They, along with Trump, are white privilege personified.

Biden is just old white male privilege while pete is young white male privilege

South Carolina doesn’t look like Cali or Virginia. Bootyjudge will die in SC but could do better in more liberal black states.

I actually wouldn't be surprised pete will do better in SC/Bama than the NY/CA black voters.

It's just concern trolling

Yeah Bernie's fans are certainly making his campaign toxic with constant primary wins & impressive poll numbers

If Warren drops.. how many of her voters are going to Bernie?

3 months ago I would have thought maybe 1/2 to 2/3rds. Today I bet they almost all go to Pete or Klobuchar and at best, Bernie gets like 1/5.

she should stay in the race.

Yang dropping should give Bernie a small bump, don’t know where else they’d go

my girl made this point to me this morning. we both are about the progressive life. but we both agree that bernie bros not necessarily bernie himself have turned off voters. i actually saw a guy on the tyt this morning who they stopped as he was exiting and he said the same thing. now they made the point hilary voters didnt vote for obama they voted against or didnt at all. But in theory warren voters would go to bernie but i think theyve been turned off to him in the past month or 2. bernie needs to get reign them back in. he needs to also focus on getting some of these rural voters as he did in 2016. i need to look at the numbers but i htink thats where pete is excelling.


edit: just thought he needs to focus on the non internet news reciever. idk how to do it but even if he coudl convince a few it would go far

Liz finished 3rd and 5th in the first two primaries = “she’s done and should drop out”. Amy finishes 3rd and 5th = “She’s gone be tough to beat”

Punditry has done a number on some of you. Biden finishes 4th and 5th and no one mentions how he should bow out. Liz is third in delegates right now and there are some upset that she has the audacity to want to continue campaigning. Liz gives a speech about coming together and not trying to burn the party down for your candidate to win. Then the hit dogs holler that she’s taking shots at their candidate and proceed to try to burn her to the ground.

The same people upset that Liz is even still in the race are going to be crying rigged when down the line Liz and her supporters throw their support behind another candidate that didn’t demean her candidacy.

Quoted. Bernie Bros gonna Bernie.

I actually wouldn't be surprised pete will do better in SC/Bama than the NY/CA black voters.

Biden’s resume - VP, long term senator - is very much what you’d expect (even want) to see in a presidential race, it’s why people made him the front runner - familiar, seasoned politician. Just because he’s not presenting policy you all like nor your pick doesn’t make him an empty white male run (and lets be honest here, all these white males are coasting off some level of inherent privilege, including Bernie - a woman lost in 2016, people came out the gate looking for a white man this time around). Literally Pete and Beto run with absolutely nothing on the resume to say “president”, Beto just off a loss, except being young white men

warren trashing bernie in her post primary speech, man im soooo happy this PMC bytch tanked, neg me all you want you fakkit ass centrists, the snake is DONE lmao

and sorry if you liked warren youre still a centrist, i dont buy shes progressive, not after this primary

I still maintain the idea that it's not Warren but the people around her. She's stepped on more rakes than anybody in this race besides Biden. This strategy of coupling herself with Amy and attacking Bernie while Bernie's support is extra sticky and Amy eats into her support is just not smart. She made the same mistake focusing on the Bernie drama while Pete ate away at her lead. Her campaign hasn't been good since she was forced on the defensive and I don't think it's her, her platform is still pretty damned good. But the people around her still don't know how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses...

i would love a liz bernie ticket. but i think he needs a moderate running mate if he gets that far. shyt if liz dropped earlier though i would consider making a premature move to have a running mate

Did Trump pick a more moderate running mate? Or did he pick a right wing loony? Y’all gotta stop being so scared man

he got people he puts on his stage for support such as talcum king doing his bidding bt slandering warren

Amy won’t be tough to beat but she has more momentum than liz , finishing 4th and 5th will hurt Biden and warren in the next two states

I think a lot of that rural support was just Anti-Hillary sentiment willing to listen to anyone else.


2016 was an outsider/ blowup the system race.

I doubt he’s getting them back. They probably won’t support Trump but they might stay home in enough numbers to keep it close.
