Bernie Sanders Wants to Fight On. He Has His Reasons.

Senator Bernie Sanders jabbed his finger in the air. He left Joseph R. Biden Jr. resorting to misstatements to defend his record on bankruptcy legislation. He instructed viewers to “go to the YouTube” to check out the former vice president’s record themselves. It was not the kind of debate performance suggesting a candidate ready for reconciliation.

After delivering a speech last week that appeared aimed at de-escalating the primary battle against Mr. Biden, Mr. Sanders laced into his opponent on Sunday night with a vigor that signaled that the fight — if not for delegates, then for the soul of the Democratic Party — was not over.

Under intense pressure to win nominating contests and already grappling with the effects of the coronavirus on the election, Mr. Sanders and his aides are now struggling to reconcile a sense of resignation and a desire to press on.

Yet even as his path to the nomination looks increasingly bleak, with Mr. Biden favored in three more primaries on Tuesday, some allies are publicly urging Mr. Sanders to remain in the race, eager for him to continue to pitch voters on a liberal agenda that he has promoted for decades.

The statement that it's about his life's work. I feel for him, I truly do. We don't all get to accomplish what we want. That is soul crushing.

The reality is we are in a situation so much bigger than just him and his personal goals. He needs to cede them to the greater good. To not do so is an exercise of ego as bad as Trump.

Senator Sanders is not going off into the wilderness when this is finished. He will be returning to the United States Senate.

Bernie Sanders is a United States senator. He will be a United States senator after this primary concludes. He can continue his "life's work" from the Senate.

Senator Sanders lost that debate and he has irrevocably lost this primary; he simply has not recognized it yet.

He really doesn’t have to do anything, or make any promises. He’s winning just about every coalition of voters
now except two of them, and the gap of Latin American support looks like it will close significantly with Florida and Arizona (as long as COVID-19 doesn’t depress normal turnout).

Sanders supporters point to broad sweeping declarations about the exit polls showing support for his policies, but neglect to mention those same polls show an overwhelming majority do not want policies to the left of Obama. State after stats has explicitly asked if you would rather return to Obama era policies, more moderate, or more liberal, and the two former have a huge margin over the latter.

Bottom line is that not only is Biden winning, but he’s winning the popular vote by a large margin and could put this out of reach in a much more definitive fashion than Hillary was ever able to.

Very amusing, the idea that Obama, Clinton, Biden -- often described by certain types as moderate, centrist, corporate, too cautious -- would recklessly support a policy they had no idea how to pay for or how it would work. If that were the case the House wouldn't have been able to pass the ACA with a public option. Everybody knows how wonky Hillary is. Biden's motto is "Never promise anything you can't deliver."

It can credibly be called a Medicare buy-in

As for Senator Sanders Medicare for all bill, it is a piece of political messaging, not an implementable policy.

Perhaps we should push for Senator Warren's M4A plan? It is implentable as written.

If we could get Medicaid expansion in the hold out states, that would truly be an improvement.

Senator Sanders sees and explains problems well. Solving them has not been his strong suit.

Voting blue up and down the ballot wherever you live will go a lot farther to achieving universal healthcare then boycotting this election. A boycott is a vote for another right turn.

Let me repeat. Make no mistake about it. Boycotting this election is a vote for another right turn.

"I would say that in the Senate, there are at most 10 votes for a single payer plan. In the House I have no idea but it's a small minority. It's absurd to say, 'Mr. President, go forward and make your bill single payer,' when you've got 10% of the Congress supporting you."

Bernie should stop telling his supporters that all politicians are corrupt and that's why there's not more progressive legislation. Anyone can see all the progressive legislation passed by the Democratic majority House hit the wall of the Republican Senate.

they will never never never know it, oooh, oooh, oooh. His face has been on tv repeating his three main themes thousands of times.

Hey, here’s Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes to explain how it works (in love as in politics)

42. Bernie Sanders has a choice

He can have his legacy read Statesman or Spoiler. I don't care how many excuses the man or his campaign use, they are the choices.

His 'life's work' will be defined accordingly.

46. He going to push for the remaining primaries to be held in June.

Then he's going to sit around for two months hoping for miracle that will swing voters back to him before contests begin anew.

A two month time out to give people time to reassess their obvious unreasonableness and just maybe fall in love with socialism again.

Of course he'll have to win over 60% in every remaining primary to have a shot, but remember, this is a guy who seriously thought he could reverse weeks of voter rejection with an self imagined sea change debate performance. No floor was mopped as oft promised yet the promiser unapologetically persists.

The negativity is all important, Bernie being 'revolutionary' by rejecting establishment positivity and solutions.
