Look man, the machine is behind Hillary, I have no idea why you thought it would be easy for Sanders. You know what the trouble of being a legitimate outsider is? You have less friends in your own party. The Clintons are a Democratic name brand, and everyone will ride for them. It is what it is. Clyburn had young black give him a blank look when he endorsed Hillary and he still did it. Anyone who thought Sanders would win in anything but a thrilling upset down to the wire was kidding themselves.

:mjpls: Sounds a lot like blacks are only voting for Obama because he is black

Well, that's actually what happened.

Nothing else explains the differences between how Afrikan support flocked to Obama and away from Clinton, and not to Sanders and away from Clinton. Hillary lead Obama early on until Iowa showed that Obama could win the cac vote.

Idiots want to make Sanders/Clinton a racial thing and act like only cacs support Sanders, and Afrikans should shy away from doing so. Yet they didn't and wouldn't apply that logic to Obama in 2008, when Afrikans started rallying behind Obama only after cacs gave their approval in the form of the Iowa victory. Sanders has a better platform than Obama did and has a better one than Hillary now.

So it's not strictly about the issues. Clearly.

WE AS PEOPLE have the power to change the system though. Remember, the government WORKS FOR US NOT the other way around.

Whites supporting Bernie because hes offering free everything is a problem :coffee:



Most people are low information voters, especially young people :coffee:
Sounds like the same shyt the GOP has been saying since 08 to describe Obama supporters. But I guess it's only unfair when it's aimed at you?

My Problems with sanders stem from his economic plans which are almost comically bad. Its sad that most of my peers believe this bullshyt :weirdo:


Hillary is no better, shes a lying flip flopper who will do anything for votes like any other politician :coffee:

Told you guys. Bernie is doing good but he just doesn't have the machine to beat the Clintons. NH was basically Bernie's back yard. He can't beat Hillary in a lot of the other states. She will body him in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday. This isn't a Bush situation where the Republicans have to run from that family's legacy. The Clinton's are still popular within the Democratic Party and still have a lot of powerful people backing them. Again this cycle I'm on the fence as I have issues with both of them. But I can give props where props is due.

Through all the drama and scandal. You can't deny Hillary is a master politican period. I'm trying to see Bernie's path forward and it's not looking good delegate wise unless he takes some really big States which it seems Hillary has the advantage. Also Bernie got destroyed in the Black Vote so it's clear that Blacks aren't behind him like that overall. South Carolina he will also lose the Black Vote. Bernie did do well with Latino's so that's good but not enough to beat Hillary overall.

I'm a Bernie supporter and I'm just as frustrated. :manny: All you can do is lay out the facts. If people are eager to take an L though, there's nothing you can do.
