i hate to drum it into the ground but this type of s*** is largely to blame in co opting the progressive movement and ideals and, while not as objectively or physically orchestrated as has been in the past or elsewhere, we have seen the US destabilize and infiltrate countless progressive movements across the world in order to halt the spread of global change cropping up as example

note: i don’t think Warren was directly in the pockets of the establishment from the get go but it always benefited them to have warren muddy his message and base, but at the point of her SuperPAC backing and compromising on key ideals and campaign promises, idek how else to spin it beyond her being used as a pawn to condition would-be progressives back to the establishment while they adopt a painfully surface level impression of “progressiveness,” free of charge and pulling from potential sanders base

The jokes writes themselves

she’s looking horrible

Tell that to Donald trump and the rnc. They did the same thing to him, but Donald knew how to win

Bernie just ain’t got the juice like that, get over it

are you sure they didn't want him to win?

Nope. He’s just too spineless to hit back at them. He’s his own worst enemy. Time to roll over and let the dnc pet his belly again. Wonder what kind of house he can get this time for backing Biden after convention

Even in ALABAMA, more voters under 30 preferred Bernie over Biden, this is absolutely a race over age above all other factors

they're pretty similar ideologically. evo has a stronger emphasis on anti-imperialism though

i’ve seen multiple studies and s*** that seem to support every time he actively attacks biden or the DNC at this point, it drops his polls. he has to be more subtle and i do not envy the position his campaign is in rn as any which way they take it could push the needle too far

Just convinced 2 of my friends to vote Bernie

Yeah I’m very sure. And if you watched the 2015-16 primaries you would be too. What kind of question is that lmao

RNC did even more to stop trump than the DNC is doing to Bernie, the only difference is Bernie never had a shot in hell bc of superdelegates which Rnc doesn’t have (well, very few of them)

i’m telling you as unfortunate as it is, the youth will turn out almost just as expected during a general than compared to a primary. i know it doesn’t make much sense overall but i really do think should bernie get the nom we will start seeing those numbers accurately translate

Yeah, I know. I’ve argued this before in here so we’ll agree to disagree but playing nice sure doesn’t seem to be doing him any favors

Old people suck,they basically dictate the country despite being at the end of their life.

People over 70 should not be able to vote tbh

yeah i was hopefully banking on the debate as being a definitive moment to focus on policy, biden and the DNC over trump particularly, but now that they’ve changed it to this townhall s***, who the f*** knows.

bernie has lots of experience in a town hall setting but that’s a totally different ball game, if there’s any time to go on the offensive it’s during the debate. yet they are instead trying their hardest to change this s*** to like a PBS Mr Rodgers sit-down, but i’m confident his team is preparing accordingly. hope it works

It's probably all the old dumb ass people

I mean... if young people got off their ass and voted this wouldn’t even be an issue

Yeah but if he doesn’t get the nom then they never will turn out because even in the states Bernie won, more older people were voting, and they mostly preferred Biden

Another interesting observation, in every Super Tuesday state with a significant black base, Biden received more support from black voters than Bernie. The state that came the closest was Minnesota

King

i guarantee you it is almost entirely because biden has been 100% less visible compared to Bernie being in the public consciousness in 2016 and currently during this election. i mean - i don’t necessarily blame them, off rip. should you not be acutely educated on issues that went on during the obama campaign and prior with Biden’s history (even discounting his failing memory issues) he seems like the “safe” choice.

but, just like hillary seemed like the “safe” choice. THAT is where the disconnect is, and despite all the slandering (much of it warranted) hillary received, it wasn’t enough to dissuade most typical dem voters. they are more comfortable banking on “safe” again, and dead ass i gotta imagine the fact he a man and directly associated to obama indirectly feeds into why ppl may immediately consider him a stronger candidate than hillary

i know

the rnc did not do more to stop trump 💀

was the rnc actively surpressing Trump voters in voting places to the extent the DNC does with Bernie voters?

Was honestly easy as f***. I think people just really don’t understand his policies or pay enough attention. All my friends really knew us what the news told them, like Bernie is just an old white guy who wants to make everything free with no plan.

It was super easy to tell them about bernie’s policies and plans, and also how he has been fighting for these things for decades
