Who knows. It's all just best guess. Where you weight "Biden won because of name recognition and being a moderate" vs. "Biden won because of a conspiracy" likely correlates really heavily with how strongly you supported Bernie at the start of the primaries.

We know from years of study that name recognition is basically the most important factor in any election, but it's not like Bernie was some unknown upstart. It seems like the most likely narrative was that Bernie, the field's sole progressive, started out strong because his oppoents were a bunch of (varying degrees of) moderates. Once the field thined, support coalesced behind the most well known candidate, and there was considerably more support of the moderate option than the progressive.

Alternatively, everything was coming up Bernie, then the DNC, in conjunction with the Clintons and the reverse vampires, used the media to convince the people that Bernie couldn't win (despite having already won 3 of 3 primaries to that point) and that his policies weren't popular (despite being widely popular when polled).

The world may never know.

This is fake news. They cherrypick the start as mid-March while the market tanked late-Feb [because of the pandemic]. Billionaires collectively are down money.

uppity blacks are now asking Biden to actually improve things and not take their vote for granted. which is basically the same thing as supporting Trump.

Survey says...





Keeping in that theme...

1. DNC consolidating their power day before Super Tuesday
2. Corp Media Bias
3. Olds > Youth
4. Not changing strategy heads up (still thinking he's playing full ring)
5. Not getting Liz to his side to endorse him/drop out after Amy and Pete were bought out


The Ethnicity demos et al at then end of the day are somewhat overrated. It's the deep dive in each demo that's more important.

Age group matters so much more than ethnicity in a major part because of how we as a society consume content. Olds watch Corp Media and do not in large part watch Independent Media (i.e. internet/podcasts). They just don't. Even using smartphones is a challenge for that demo. Technology in some cases have passed them by to the point it's not worth the effort to keep up. So when CNN/MSNBC do 24/7 anti-Bernie Propaganda and that's all the olds see, their opinion gets shaped. Then with enough consumption gets set in stone. That's because they generally don't care enough to want to find out more information that's relevant. They trust the bullshit that's being fed to them as fact and move on with their lives. Young people are more able to consume info at a higher rate. By nature are more curious about the context of things rather than take any singular source at face value, and will google search like hell to find what they need. Case in point how many people ITT are over 55...pretty sure it's less than the under 55 crowd.

This is an interesting pivot, even for you Victor. And I was getting so used to Berniebros calling anyone who didn't believe her obvious BS story, including real victims, rape apologists.

moral compass tho

But yeah let's pivot to the next complaint without internalizing why the L's keep piling up.

Yep, this is a serious problem with Biden. Even ignoring the obvious racial aspect here (which can’t and shouldn’t be ignored, but even just looking at this from the lens of vote acquisition), he takes this attitude often. He does the same thing at town halls when asked questions or challenged on his record, he would challenge the person to a fight, accuse them of supporting a different primary candidate, or tell them to go vote Trump. He doesn’t seem to be in the business of earning people’s votes which I find to be a pretty big issue. I get a sense of entitlement from him, like he doesn’t think he has to work to get anyone on his side or even answer any questions because he’s running against Trump.

That’s why I find it a bit bizarre when people think he’s a party uniting candidate - sure, never Trump Republicans and “centrists” will settle for him, but he’s not really about uniting the party, he’s just about being a Republican. He’s anti-unity in the sense that he gets super defensive and lashed out at people that aren’t already Joe Bros.

You know how kids' immune systems get stronger when exposed to dirt? I think Biden thinks his teflon gets stronger when exposed to gaffes. (Just kidding, he was just speaking from the heart)

Does he ever say "ain't" except around black people?

Biden on CNBC: "Nobody making under $400,000 would have their taxes raised. Period. bingo."

Yep. For people who think this kind of thing doesn't matter that much, this is an ongoing FB discussion regarding what Biden said (every person commenting is black)

You know how after Power or GoT, there's an explanation show to help viewers get a better understanding? I wish we had that IRL. I would sincerely pay just to know what he was thinking when he said it. Also, what message was he trying to get across? It came off TERRIBLY racist and "tone deaf." But I would like to believe (maybe naively) that he wouldn't say that with the same intention that he portrayed on that video chat screen

Nah fam somebody gotta explain that. Even if he meant it "racistly." I still need to hear it. Make it make sense.
Quote:
He Just showing his true colors bro lol
Quote:
I think y'all taking it out of context. It's really based off your perception! Joe Biden has done more for blacks than many black people & I didn't vote for him. I actually agree with his statement. To me, he implies how black people pay attention to their surroundings or just pay attention. His statement was "if you can't tell who to vote for between me & Trump, then you ain't black." That would be based off what he has done & what Trump has done for blacks. Trump ain't did nothing. I didn't get racist or tone deaf
Quote:
But he ain't black, so he can't define mine or anyone else's blackness...
Quote:
the fact that you are ok with a 70+ year old white man telling us what it means to be black scares me. Especially when he makes himself the benchmark. So not the almost 500 years of history we have in this country (good and bad) but picking him over Trump is what makes us "black." I'm sincerely contemplating just sitting this election out and dealing with the ridicule. Cuz I'm sick and tired of the "pick your poison" routine.
Quote:
Still gonna vote for him
Quote:
Honestly fam IDK
Quote:
Man this has to be one of the lesser of two equals tho. The way that the country has been set back so many years these past 3 years, can only imagine what it’s gonna do in another 4. Never in my lifetime has it been so easy to disregard black life, and to blatantly show your disregard for black life, as it has been these past 3 years. And to have the president remain silent, or speak up in support of it, that will not do us any good

But is the alternative better? Sure JB may not be ignorantly racist as DT. But bruh he's clearly losing his mental faculties and he might be as racist as Trump just better at hiding it.

there's no good reaason to go backwards on any of this, especially in the context of 2020, both before and especially after covid #weareallinthistogether

also, here's a thought, maybe if you don't want ppl "taking things out of context", don't say things like "Nobody making under $400,000 would have their taxes raised. Period. bingo."


but for the creepy joe br0 cult nothing is ever his fault, sad!
