With the ultimate goal of winning, the party has to narrow down to as few candidates as possible. Otherwise we’re wasting our time rooting for candidates with no chance. The party has to unite at some point and throw their weight behind 1 candidate. I get what you mean, though. One of my friends was disappointed that she already voted for a person who has since dropped out of the race.

I agree with you Shura, this young generation is VERY VERY different and very diverse ethnically. The electoral college will be thrown out eventually and we'll be stuck with majoritarian rule instead of minority rule.Hopefully I won't go to jail for saying someones gender wrong LOL but I am concerned it could get that bad with how this young generation is IP: Logged |

Im feeling confused about maybe I should have voted for Biden instead of bernie, the nytimes seems to be railing against bernie, saying hes unelectable becasue he can't get swing voters.But he does pretty well in polls in the rust belt against Trump. I think the nytimes is just very center/center left and doesn't want to deal with another populist, which bernie is. Hes the other side of the coin from trump, which is why i voted for him, I felt thats whats being called for write now, a demagogue populist, not a sleepy benign old grandpa like joe biden IP: Logged |

I get it, I'm just afraid that I won't get to vote my choice (our primary is still two weeks away), and a link I saw yesterday, showed her not that far behind, when it came to votes needed. She was still third, but not by a frightening amount. Four years ago, a friend's husband called me a Bernie bro. I didn't even know what that was - my mum had just died, and I wasn't spending much time on twitter, facebook, or anywhere else. I voted for Hillary, with no shame at all, but I had been inspired by Bernie (earlier in the year). IP: Logged |

The thing is, Blue, there won't be a clear majority. We are just about "that bad." Fines first, then punishment. Jailtime is archaic tho. By the time things really get rolling, that will be off the table. It's just not feasible. Think more like closing your bank account. IP: Logged |

The more he rails against corporate domination and corruption, the more rust belt Whites will listen. Even the White middle class is slowly waking up to the fact they are being screwed. quote:

Warren is showing poorly. Moreso than I thought she would.------------------

Dudes, it wasn’t rocket science to know Warren was going to get clobbered. Stick a fork in her—she’s done. IP: Logged |

Dudettes, and she only isn’t doing well, because she isn’t a man. I’m done, too. I’ll vote in November, but I’m totally disenchanted. IP: Logged |

It’s going to be close in Texas, but I think Biden will narrowly take it. Bernie gets California.IP: Logged |

Pretty sure Joe has Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Scorpio. https://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Joe_Biden But to answer your question, I'll take the Scorp. IP: Logged |

Warren would have done much better if not for Clinton losing to trump in 2016. People are spooked and scared a woman will lose again and aren’t willing to risk it.
That being said it’s super sad because I think a lot of people think warren would have made a great president.
She may come back to run again IP: Logged |

The fact that warren lost to Bloomberg in so many states is pathetic. Bloomberg is a sham, elite billionaire, narcissist, racist, trying to buy the election Warren is the real deal, brillliant compassionate, passionate great policies. It’s a shame IP: Logged |

Warren couldn’t even pick up her home state. There’s a reason...people aren’t comfortable that she could win against Trump.Bloomberg is a joke. They both should drop out and throw (what little) support they have to the clear winner. IP: Logged |

The only suprise of the night was Warren. Losing her home state must have been devastating. Hillary burnt women votes .
