tshile Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Llevron said: I can say one thing for sure, it looks like Bernie's unprecedented youth movement didnt go as planned. Less young people being reported voting than in 2016. Im sure there are other factors involved besides just general apathy, but anyone counting on that voter block going forward is kidding themselves. Its really not a thing. it has never been a thing its not a certainty, but generally speaking voter turnout drives results. Higher turnout increases the Dems odds and lower turnout increases the GOP’s odds. I’m not well versed enough on all of it to speak more to it than that but the dems depend on fickle subsets of their base. Yes there are issues with voter suppression, but there’s also a reality that they will, on a whim, decide to just not vote. they’ll say things like they thought their candidate was going to win so it didn’t matter, or their candidate didn’t inspire them, or they aren’t liberal enough, or their preferred candidate was not chosen because of a corrupt system or a system that chooses to suppress their policy ideas. and all of that is well and good for a discussion about the realities of our political system, but at the end of the day what matters is votes. And these people choose to not vote and the dems depend on them. contrast that with the GOP base which, by and large, shows up every election cycle and reliably votes for their party - even when it nominated a clown like Trump that’s demonstrably incompetent, not actually a republican, and demonstrably corrupt. from a personal perspective: as someone who is more likely to be “hurt” by democrats economic policies than helped, it’s hard to support those policies when a sizable portion of the people demanding the rest of us “give something up” to help them... then don’t even show up to vote. The one thing you can do to actually influence the situation, and you sit out? its hard enough when every objection to their idea, because of how it impacts you, is met with some form of “wah you’re doing fine suck it up”. But then they don’t even show up to vote? its hard to want to help in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 "I'm Bernie Sanders, and I approved this message." Somebody needs to buy the time to append a 5-second ad, following every one of those, that says "I'm Barack Obama, and I did not." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Its crazy that you know Bernie is done when is relying on the Obama pull -- hes trying to be the Dem nominee. He should be using the Obama pull. But for him its kinda a bad sign. Maybe thats just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yea, the context of Barack saying “I feel the Bern” was him pandering to Bernie supporters at the Dem convention trying to get them to turn out ... for Hilary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Biden and Bernie should just get in a ring MMA style. Biden, of course, is in better shape and has better reach, but he's soft. Bernie's got spunk and grit to make up for his age and lack of physicality. First one who breaks a hip loses the nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think one thing the Biden camp has to keep in mind is to not fall for what some of the Sanders supporters have been criticized for. I've been as vocal as anyone in criticizing Sanders and the bros, but the concerns voiced by the very large segment of his base is very much valid and real concerns. I may not agree with their approach to solving it, but their voice should be welcomed in the big tent the Biden camp is trying to pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was banned from that subreddit for trying to rally support to vote for Biden or anyone that won the Dem nomination. This was on Saturday. I was asked "Does Uncle Joe let you pet his leg hairs while you sit on his lap and he reminisces about chilling with Nelson Mandela?" I responded back "you're pathetic" and was banned.
