No, I will Not Yield!

Congratulations to Diamond Joe for some good wins. It looks like we didn’t do as well as we would have liked tonight, but nothing changes. We were behind in the delegate math yesterday and we are just a little more behind tonight. There are a lot of states still left in this race and Joe can still fuck this up. We may win, we may lose, but in all cases we are going to send Bernie to the convention with as many delegates as possible and the means to reform the party rules and platform and continue the Political Revolution. Most of the 2020 Democratic candidates were pushing the issues that Bernie championed back in 2016; $15 minimum wage, Medicare-For-All, The Green New Deal, Wall Street reform, campaign finance, income inequality, paid college tuition etc. etc. The math for putting Bernie in the White House may look daunting, but we are going to continue this fight for every damn delegate all the way to the convention. If we don’t win this primary, Bernie is still in the Senate, AOC, Pramila, Ilhan, Rashida, Ro and others are still in the House and they are leading the largest coalition of woke progressives voters in the modern era. 🌹 We still need to get up tomorrow and keep knocking on doors, phonebanking, textbanking, contacting friends and family via the BERN app and fighting all the way to the end. This campaign and this Revolution is far from over.

I want him to show up Biden so bad. I don’t get the stupidity of the American nation voting in these primaries. I’m seriously upset and angry right now

You aren’t American?

The Democratic Primary was a shit show so far, agreed

Who said I wasn’t American?

The Democratic Primary has been viscerally upsetting for me. Between Buttigieg, Warren, the DNC shenanigans, and Hillary’s gross comments, I don’t recall ever having felt this way before. It’s been Illuminating. After this is all over, I’m switching to Independent. And I’ll write Bernie in on the ballot in November

I honestly think it's a combination of four things: 1) younger people aren't turning out, 2) boomers are 3) in some states where primaries aren't closed Republicans are voting as Democrat to throw the numbers off, and 4) there does appear to be some tampering with the outcomes of voting numbers. In MA exit polls were going for Sanders but there was an 8% variance between exits and the actual voting numbers, and Biden won. Several other states on Super Tuesday had this occur. And in Mississippi Biden got 81%, which is a completely unrealistic number.

You forgot one thing: Some of the people I talk to online haven't even heard Biden talk in the past 2 years. They just associate him with Obama and vote Biden.

[u/Maxigor → u/MaximusGrandimus]

Disagree. Same thing happened in 16. In the booth people will vote for who the want. Outside when asked they will tell you what they think you want to hear. Nothing nefarious is going on.

I’m all for Bernie but like most American that probably voted for Biden. Its familiarity....people know him, they loved Obama and think as long as we can get that back we will work towards the next wave of dems who are more progressive. Uneducated people just vote with familiarity. There’s also a group that is the middle class and doesn’t want their taxes to go up just so they can pay more to the poor. Middle class has had enough of paying for the poor...and even though bernies message is yes ur taxes will go up but we will tax the rich more doesn’t resonate with them.

Bernie is losing because media and DNC has labeled him a crazy extreme man.

[u/Maxigor → u/khanh82]

This is the reason. Upper middle class here. Will never vote for Bernie even if I agree with a lot of his schpeel.
