Social distancing, regional isolation, evolved over about 3-4 days. Primary cancellation was not mentioned much prior to about last Saturday.

The increased turnout being among demographics none too receptive to Sanders. That is how an election is rigged against the 'people's champion', by voters casting ballots for someone else.

The lengths that some are going to to ignore the context of the race are pretty remarkable. The race was over before yesterday, and the writing was already on the wall for current and future states and territories. The results were what they were expected to be well before the past few days.

And "voter suppression"? Tell that to the people who showed up and voted, in many places in numbers higher than 2016. We should be targeting real voter suppression tactics, not imagined ones.

I find that the people making comments like this are the first and loudest ones to complain that Biden isn't doing enough to pander to them and unify the party. Some simply were never going to vote for Biden because he's not Bernie. Demanding that Biden do something about it simply isn't realistic.

As it was the older voters who were more at risk and likely to stay home.

We are afflicted on the radical left with a plague of creme-puffs masquerading as hard rolls.

"So much of contemporary politics on the left amounts to playing with fire by people who don't even know fire is hot."

Nicely put:

Made me laugh. And that's a good thing!

happy to see you!!!

And fwiw, if everyone could vote absentee, as I did in Florida, the problem would be solved.

you'd read something thoughtful, written with style. That and addressing everybody with Ma'am and Sir, although it offended some, was always a nice touch .

Great to see you too.

I've missed you.

should be available nationwide, I am getting tired of people insulting those who have made their choice and the vast majority chose Joe Biden. The circumstances surrounding yesterday's primaries were certainly out of the ordinary, but all major polls had shown Joe winning for weeks now. If anything, the pandemic should have worked more to Sander's advantage, as older voters are much more vulnerable.

I really don't think we can drag the primaries out much longer, without doing irreparable damage to the party and risk losing in November.

The DNC and the so-called "establishment" did not cast my vote. I did and without their influence.

See Feb 29th through super Tues. Maybe someone should've taken the hint then. He has slim to no path, yet he's still continuing. He is responsible for the prolonged primary, not "a party that is so desperate to put the progressive movement down". It's evident that bs spreads. This is why we need to end primary and work on uniting our party. Learn from 2016 people.

Earlier thread I posted about comments he and other Sanders supporters made, threatening not to vote:

Even the complaint about how much money the Biden's have made is pointless because Bernie Sanders rolled in the dough from his own book sales. When questioned about the money, the extra homes, Sanders was irritated and flip: I wrote and sold books!

Joe Biden's career has never been marked by large sums of money. His colleagues raked in enormous amounts while Joe Biden rode back and forth on Amtrak for God's sake.

As for the suit? Yes, Biden was perfectly tailored for the debate. He looked and sounded presidential. And you know what? Bernie Sanders can afford a decent, well-tailored suit, too. That rumpled look is Bernie's choice, not a case of a depleted bank account.

These arguments are lame. It's just a sign that the Benjamin Dixon's of the world know that the optics during the debate were clearly to Biden's advantage. And whose fault was that? That would be Bernie. Not a class struggle, a personal choice.

I have had a fair respect for that paper since Mr. Orwell remarked it was the only left paper whose reporting on the Spanish Civil War was remotely accurate, and because Mr. J. B. Powell, an American newspaperman at Shanghai in the twenties and thirties, whose reporting I consider of great value, was their Oriental correspondent.

I thought something bad had happened.

Nice to see you back.

Changes how one looks at spending time.

I thought you'd disappeared off the face of the Earth. Hope everything is okay with you.

Those that aren't are internal and cannot be helped.

Written off like the rest.

"Millions of brave dedicated voters show up despite the threat of a pandemic to vote for Bernie Sanders. This proves Sanders should be the nominee."

You may have returned a while ago but this is the first time I have seen you. I'm glad of it!

Thank you for the welcome.

even in a pandemic crisis. They care more about our country and our Planet than their own FEAR.

They are to be commended.. Not Whined about.

Thank you, TM.. good to see you back. I did a double take. lol

that's happened since has been a complete repudiation of people like him. Welcome Back Magistrate!
