[7 - No tomorrow]

Could Bernie have won Massachusetts if she had dropped out a bit earlier? Does it even matter?

Maybe

Matters more in momentum stakes

I haven't seen anything solid breakdown on how many Liz voters would break for Bernie

But I know there's a good amount of bad blood.


No way she was dropping out before her home state though

Gotchya.

You would hope quite a number would. Warren voters seem pretty clued-in and Biden's track record might not sit well with a lot of them. I suppose it's up to Sanders to win them over though.

Exactly

If you were to look at policy papers, you'd think it was a natural fit - for Warren voters to go Bernie - and many likely will go that way

But there are many more factors at play

This short opinion piece on Bernie/Warren vs. Biden down south is good imho:

Opinion | Why Southern Democrats Saved Biden

For those who live in the shadow of segregation and racial terror, the election is not about policy or personality. It’s about something much darker.

They were deeply skeptical that a democratic socialist like Mr. Sanders could unseat Mr. Trump. They liked Ms. Warren, but, burned by Hillary Clinton’s loss, were worried that too many of their fellow Americans wouldn’t vote for a woman.

Joe Biden is no Barack Obama. But he was somebody they knew. “He was with Obama for all those years,” Mr. Caradine said. “People are comfortable with him.” Faced with the prospect of their children losing the basic rights they won over many generations, these voters, as the old Chicago political saw goes, don’t want nobody that nobody sent.

I mean, you can get into what Biden's voting history on bussing and stuff looks like but ultimately the first Black President trusting someone probably trumps all.

What the fuck is this article? An attempt to paint Bernie Sanders as a soviet/putin agent that ends up making him look like the only only sane person in America

As Bernie Sanders Pushed for Closer Ties, Soviet Union Spotted Opportunity

Previously unseen documents from a Soviet archive show how hard Mr. Sanders worked to find a sister city in Russia when he was a mayor in the 1980s. Moscow saw a chance for propaganda.

That's amazing! How many people were involved in making this, and nobody noticed the problem?

Like Brian Williams even said “Don’t tell us if you’re ahead on the math”

Everyone’s ahead of you on the math, Brian

Sounds like you're enjoying this? Biden is a disaster and will probably lose to Trump.

What about all this "Biden is senile" stuff? True or just more evidence of Bernie Bro civility deficit?

I didn't vote for Biden
But the sooner the infighting stops, the better.
If we have a horse, we run with it.
I am sick of the moral superiority of the Bros online, it drives a lot of negativity in the party.
I don't love the party, but we need it to defeat Trump.

Every candidate has negatives. Neither Biden nor Bernie are exceptions to this.

If Joe Biden was a river in Dublin he would be The Dodder

If I posted that on Twitter it'd get like a million likes and retweets

He's Seine-Nile

I'm gonna be bursting my banks full of winning now
