Super Tuesday Primary: Biden wins 9 of 14 states; leads delegate count 637 to 559

[acri1]

I highly doubt Warren is going to endorse Biden while the primary is still going.

She'll either drop out and endorse Bernie (although it won't matter IMO) or just wait and endorse whoever the winner is.

It's time to ask: does Sanders view black people as cogs of the democrat establishment? I see no other explanation for his dismissal of black voters. Or how he could lose in 2016 in large part due to having no presence in the south...then run it back and do the exact same thing this year. He refuses to play the game, to talk to people, to find common ground, to compromise, etc.

Jim Clyburn holds a famous fish fry every year in SC where potential presidential candidates attend to meet black power brokers. When was the last time Bernie went? He doesn't care. You can't win this shyt without friends. And you can't win when your main base (young people) STILL don't show up to vote.

Progressives need a better candidate than Bernie. He's all we got right now. None of these candidates are really gonna do jack shyt for black people specifically but many of his policies would benefit black people. For us to turn our backs on that for Joe Biden. So disappointing.

I hate how a third of the party has been hijacked by these clowns. It's why I have a hard time fully respecting their movement - too many sketchy anarchists/accelerationists types in their ranks that I do not trust.

Sad i pointed that out the other day but got called a "WOAT POSTER". You can't call your self a progressive if you're willing to allow trump to stay in offce and install racist right wing judges and policies

Socialism is easier to defend over Hunter Biden.

Maybe on Twitter.
Not in real life.

Not in the south and Midwest.

Let's be honest, many people in the south and midwest have kids just like Hunter Biden. Dude is as bad as anyone.

Biden currently has 382 delegates to Bernie's 321, I wouldn't say Biden has in the bag yet, but his momentum is crazy.

Biden 453 and Sanders 373

How is one's life radically different in a Biden presidency than a Trump one? College will still be unaffordable, a real universal healthcare system won't be in place, income inequality will still be a problem. These "clowns" are going to need to be convinced if we don't want another Hillary situation.

Establishment bootlickers never miss a chance to insult the wing of the party who they'll be begging for votes from in Nov.

Youre supposed to be courting our votes. This is not how you build a coalition. Toxic people like this is how the DNC keeps losing to the republicans. I cant build with people like this

Looks like you folks dont take your own advice too well. 2016 ver 2.0 on the way

Why are different sites reporting different numbers?

 

[Pressure]

Disingenuous?

You didn't answer the question. You didn't even make an attempt to answer it.

Again, what does it mean to "have a relationship" and "connect" with black voters, since you're convinced Bernie's lack of this yet to be defined characteristic is what doomed him amongst a certain segment of the electorate.

And similarly in ways that Bernie doesn't have it, in what ways does Biden possess it?

You don't know what building a relationship means?

I'm dead serious. If you can't see the difference between Biden and Bernie with how they interacted with black voters then you don't get it.

Here are a few examples that I gave y'all before super Tuesday:

1. Joe Biden actually showed up at black churches. Something that has long been considered a pillar of the black community. Especially in the south.

2. Joe Biden can point to his time as Vice President and the changes people saw during that time. He was literally on the ticket that brought us out of the recession. That resonates with people.

3. Joe Biden has affirmed that he will not capitulate to the fringe elements of the party who want to abolish ICE and normalize illegal immigration/ open borders. That matters, especially when a lot of Black folks feel like they are competing against illegal immigrants for resources.

4. Joe Biden has a history of passing major legislation. You might now like it, but it happens.

5. People view his platform positions as actually achievable.

6. Endorsements from other known commodities that you trust/respect.


It is what it is. But he's a known commodity with reasonable proposals and has shown a willingness to show up at places a lot of Black folks deem as important.

On the other hand you have a guy who has some pretty good ideas, but hasn't made the effort to directly reach out to pillars of the black community, ignores older voters, and reduces every racial issue down to an issue of class.

shyt ain't rocket science.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

This is big fukking facts. For as close as you might assume Warren and Bernie are based on ideology. You can make a case that the reasons for Bloomberg and Biden voters to vote the way they do is even closer. That whole electibility get rid of Trump pabulum. I think on average you would see a more 1 to 1 correlation of Bloomberg to Biden voters than Warren to Sanders...which means when Bloomberg is out this shyt's a route...don't ask me how.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Bernie links himself to Obama.

It’s over for Bernie

 

[dtownreppin214]

Nope.

He was too busy trying to galvanize the young white Hipsters and the Mexican vote.

Like I told @dtownreppin214 and @LurkMoar

Bernie could've easily won Texas if he would've endorsed Royce West and had a town hall meeting with Royce West at the Potter's House.

His campaign people made a huge error in Texas.

He should've got a Black political strategist in Texas over Chuck Rocha.

The Mexican vote in Texas has always been unreliable.

Royce West just proved that by beating their golden child Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez. Royce did this with ZERO social media presence. Everything done with old school retail politics.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Sad.

He tells you Bernie's policies are better for black people and the basic response was he didn't come to black churches enough. I guess there's a reason why we hardly ever see improvement in quality of life despite our so called voting power

Why not do both? Have better policies and do the outreach to needed to make people both understand that and familiarize themselves with you. I know why Liz failed here, she’s not the name Biden nor Bernie is, but after 16, Bernie had the money, power (ground game), and 4 years to make this closer. He made inroads with black voters elsewhere, I fully believe harder push could’ve eroded more of Biden’s firewall down there

Anyone who thinks Bernie could actually fix half of that shyt as president might deserve to be called a clown.

I think you're missing what's happening here.

You have a candidate in Joe Biden that's basically saying he's not trying to court you. That he's trying to appeal to moderate dems, never Trump Republicans, and moderate independents.

And he's winning. Why would he try and court the people who wouldn't show up for Bernie.


He's literally winning telling you to vote for someone else if you don't like him.
