3. "Bernie's vote totals don't reflect his massive support"
Fri Mar 13, 2020, 01:25 AM

What kind of delusional rationalization is THAT?

"My candidate has massive support even though they aren't doing the one thing to concretely support him: voting."

4. And Trump's low poll numbers don't reflect HIS massive support

The massive support being a bunch of MAGAT's making loud noises at a rally. Explanation being that volumeters don't quite eclipse actual vote tallies.

5. And my 48 IQ doesn't reflect my massive genius intellect

Hey, I'm starting to get the hang of this. This logic/excuse will come in handy in a multitude of instances.

I'll definitely keep this in mind next time somebody calls me an imbecile just because that's what the stupid chart says.

It looks like BS couldn't close the deal.. he had "massive" rallies but no "massive" GOTV. "Massive" money, too.

Mahalo, NYC Liberal Thanks for commenting on what MM said.

And, what's up with the massive Votes from POC and suburban women being in "bad faith"? That's some kind of nonsense.. really bad excuse for BS losing.

The Voters Knew Exactly What They Were Doing.

11. When Bernie was asked how he would get all of his things passed in Congress...
Fri Mar 13, 2020, 05:09 AM
Mar 2020

he said that he would create a massive turnout that would make Congress much bluer. The fact that the only increase in turnout seems to be for Biden means that Bernie's claims, both of a massive turnout increase and of getting his agenda passed were both false. Voters chose the more experienced, more reasonable, and more practical Biden over Bernie's "pie in the sky" ideas and his incorrect beliefs of a massive voter turnout increase.


Here's the scoop: if you can't even get *Democrats* to buy into your belief structure, how are you going to get Independents and Republicans to buy into them?

15. Think it's become clear that Bernie's 'massive' support . . .
Fri Mar 13, 2020, 08:45 AM
Mar 2020

exists in the minds of his supporters and on social media platforms, primarily Twitter. Time and time again, people were reminded that the vast majority of Democratic voters did not tweet or read blogs and/or live online. For those that do, it's easy to get caught up in a bubble, a distorted reality where everything you believe is reinforced.

The Democratic base had a clear preference and it simply wasn't Bernie Sanders.

16. MM - a perpetual gasbag who is sometimes useful
Fri Mar 13, 2020, 08:50 AM
Mar 2020

Fahrenheit 9/11 was good for highlighting Bush failures. That's an example of his bluster and hucksterism serving the progressive cause.

But his commentary over the past few years has not been helpful or useful at all. About the only time I encounter his name is in a DU post. I don't watch enough TV news to see him live, I guess.
