Bernie got washed twice by moderate milquetoast dems. Its not the policies. Why can't ya'll understand that people don't like Bernie as a person and don't want him to be President. POTUS is a popularity contest and most folks don't want to go to the prom with Bernie:yeshrug:

Bernie couldn’t fire up the inner city in the primaries
Primaries weren't about Trump, the general was. Bernie, Biden and Warren would all wash Trump. If primaries were about policy like they should have been, Marianne Williamson or Warren would have gotten the nod. But it was about name recognition and Biden has a name

I could see Bernie losing to Trump because of how moronic people are and because some Democrats seem to have a lot of disdain for the man.
I just did a search and people on here are still whining about "Bernie Bros," would have been hilarious to see what would have happened if he won the nom and they "had" to vote for him.
That being said, anyone who voted for Biden but would not have voted for Bernie or Warren is :trash:

Also, Biden didn't help at all down-ballot in Texas but maybe that's because he didn't visit Texas (I believe) and didn't have a field office down here during the primaries.

People was coming in here gloating when it "appeared" he was losing and brought up Bernie.

Explain why Bernie won the first three states in the primaries if nobody likes him. :unimpressed:

Not to mention the fact that most voters were saying "I'm settling for Biden." Likeability wasn't a factor. Trump was.

Why did the mods let berniewood stick around? I thought he was banned back to Reddit where he came from.

:stopitslime:Bernie lost the primary. How he gonna win a general?
You Bernouts are as conspiracy minded as the MAGAs
Independents aren't allowed to vote in primaries. You dont have overwhelming organizational (DNC) and media advantages in primaries.

Generals and primaries aren't the same race. This line is tired.

Biden won off the dem electorate. Fact. His downballot performance proves it. There is no reason whatsoever to assume Bernie would depresss the turnout where biden wouldn't

The turnout was for Trump. For and against

Trump was a weaker candidate than Biden, Bernie and Warren. People were afraid for Biden to speak live until the first debate and he still got 73+ million votes. People were saying "Biden should just stay in the basement until November" and "the more he speaks, the less I want to vote for him" and ":ohhh: not that many gaffes that time"

And we're talking about Bernie and Warren wouldnt have beaten Trump???
Warren
Bernie
Biden
Trump

Bernie ran as a Democrat, though. It's therefore his job to convince dem voters and the dem establishment to go with him. He couldn't cut it. Maybe convince your state to go open primary? CA did, and Bernie won. You gotta either play in the system, or lobby to change it.

Trump obviously wasn't weak, breh. Dude has a fanatical, nigh impenetrable, base. I doubt Bernie would have gotten as much black support as Biden, and Bernie is an unapologetic socialist. This would have killed him in FL, the south, and a lot of the midwest, although he may have gotten some union support in the rust belt, which Biden won anyway.

I still think the downballot stuff was due to nevertrumpers voting R downballot, and the insane trump faithful stuffing the boxes.
