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

White voters didn't flee the party. You are the most defeatist and fact-ignoring poster here. If I listened to you or anyone I know did, we would never turn out to vote.

The midterm elections after Obama got elected saw one of the lowest youth turnouts and it happened against in n2014, which was a record low. In other words, all the energy died down and Democrats stayed home. It's not that complicated. Your theory works in like 25 swing districts. That doesn't account for a historic turnaround. Also, Obama was dealing with a recession. You don't tend to do well during a recession or crisis - ask Bush about 2006.

Notably, the GOP gains have occurred only among white voters; a 2-point Republican edge among whites in 2008 (46% to 44%) has widened to a 13-point lead today (52% to 39%). In sharp contrast, the partisan attachments of black and Hispanic voters have remained consistently Democratic.

While Republican gains in leaned party identification span nearly all subgroups of whites, they are particularly pronounced among the young and poor. A seven-point Democratic advantage among whites under age 30 three years ago has turned into an 11-point GOP advantage today. And a 15-point Democratic advantage among whites earning less than $30,000 annually has swung to a slim four-point Republican edge today.

That paper was from 2012 I think.

So yeah, youth turnout was down, but Dems losing white voters was definitely a large part of what happened after Obama was elected. And for the record I've never discouraged anyone from voting, if anything people should be more motivated to vote. It just annoys me when people are naive.

At the time he lost those seats noone was calling him a centrist or a moderate.
Democrats were smitten, and Republicans were calling him a communist muslim terrorist.

Remember this

Any Democrat is getting the socialist label.

I think bernie could win this , but in my opinion over the next couple of weeks it will be severly urgent that bernie and his public relations dept start doing a more complete job in communicating to the moderate side of the DNC that he is willing to work with them towards how together they could realistically implement some of his policies. Such a day one radical political shift for the country/party just isn't realistic for majority of the democratic constituency which is why you're seeing so many different politicians "collude" against bernie. You can't expect a moderate leaning senator like doug jones to get behind a candidate that is fighting for a radical systemic paradigm shift of how democratic politics is performed today. Many here will disagree with this but this is the reality we live in, in the world of politics.

Yeah maybe I'm tripping but I don't remember him posting here much until after Warren Moon got bushed.....

Any way this goes a large portion of the Dem electorate will be salty tomorrow .

Cheeto must be ecstatic.

both sides need to pivot to/increase rhetoric about the real stuff that's affected with a trump reelection and move off their vision. time to hammer home climate/environment, voting/human rights violations, SCOTUS/the courts. i don't care where you stand on medicare, immigration, school costs - those are things we know will continue to be eroded by trump.

Today Bernie will open up a massive delegate lead over mush brains Biden. The media will begin telling you delegates don't matter.
