General Politics Discussion VII [ARCHIVED] • Page 52

Wondering if people got complacent seeing so many polls favoring Bern. Last night is such a wakeup call that we need to multiply organizing efforts 10x

 

Bernie has already said his VP will support M4A, so I doubt it’s Warren

 

Ha, Bernie wants to win. I'd be shocked if Warren isn't one of two people being considered!

 

But last night also proved that organization doesn’t matter too much when the media is able to secure votes of ~50% last day voters

 

Oh hey new thread what did i miss

 

The last ~48 hours certainly favored Biden with the endorsements. At this point I feel like the last major thing Biden has in his bag is a public endorsement from Obama. So outside of that, there are still plenty of states left, many of which Bernie could take if organizing efforts are amplified

 

This process reminds me of the 2019 Super Bowl, when I went in not caring, let myself get emotionally invested when it looked like I could actually get a Patriots loss, & then had to watch the inevitable happen.

 

I hope it’s a situation where Biden blows his lead early, gets the 1 v 1 he wants, the stumbles and falls along the way to a contested convention. If he slips up enough, especially in the debates, Bernie might be ok.

Bernie really needs to start building more high profile coalitions to attract older demos

 

Bernie needs a Jimmy Carter endorsement

 

Was the under 28 turnout really only 10% of the vote last night? That’s pathetic...

 

I've been saying this, having him up in every poll doesn't help grassroots at all. Along with the whole DNC narrative and what happened in Iowa.

 

Music for the morning after

 

I'm up, cant wait for insulin to be more expensive because Americans love death

 

The more I think about it the more I think Warren completely fumbled every strategy she ever had and has had a really bad campaign. There's no obvious timing for her to "drop out and endorse" but I think if it happened earlier than now and before the snake stuff, it would have helped a lot more than it would now. Obviously as politicians you want to win and she wasn't completely out of it yet so I get why she didn't.

There's still a chance if it gets close and bernie makes a come back she could flip wfp off and go with biden instead. That would the ultimate never trust the center left thing of all time.

 

The debate being after Michigan is really an absolute crusher, bernie would have definitely won it if the debate were beforehand. Biden will probably win it now.

 

Do I even want to know who's moderating the next debate?

 

Yeah. I still think she’s the best person for the job, but it’s difficult to feel like her political choices have been up to par. She hasn’t built on her momentum or strengths in any meaningful way.

 

It probably won't matter if biden sweeps Michigan

 

The opposite, if anything.

 

looks like 80% of CA is in and pretty favorable for Bern

 

So depressed
