Dem Primary Coverage on TV
I haven't sent in my FL ballot yet because I'm still undecided. One thing for sure -MSNBC has got a huge hand on the scale in favor of Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders. Not sure what's going on at CNN or Fox (which is probably covering some Q-Anon conspiracy theory or other).
Anyway, I'm a bit surprised to witness the extent of the bias against the Bern; didn't realize MSNBC was this "establishment." Probably has to do with the average age of the viewers - dinosaurs like me!

Well you got to admit they are riding with Biden, the youngest guy in the race.

Biden said he's going to put Beto in charge of getting our guns. “You’re going to take care of the gun problem with me. You’re going to be the one who leads this effort.”

It's been fun to watch, cnn and MSNBC shitting their pants the past 2 weeks when it looked like Bernie was running away with the election. Just as funny watching them since Saturday night, breathing a huge sigh of relief

Reminds me of a certain candidate in 2016 whose party was deathly afraid he might be the nominee, and pulled out all the stops trying to make sure that didn't happen...but he couldn't be stopped.
Maybe the Bern can put on a similar show in 2020 with the Democrats. That would be kinda cool to see.

Lols all stops. Meaning Biden got more votes than sanders.

Imagine how red some people's reputation bars would be if *I* actually made it a habit to give out reputation points?....FULL LULZ
Good thing for some that I almost never do.
Then again, imagine caring enough about reputation points to spend time creating a post about them....again, FULL LULZ

I don't want to see Bernie's way of government even breathe hope at getting a chance at the presidency. True he's been dealt a shitty deal by other democrats, but they do it to everyone. Just look at what Trump's endured.
Biden's an old moron, at least he's not a moron communist bound to wreck the world. Bloomberg will help finance Crazy-Joe and put Bernie out to pasture...hopefully for good.

Bernie is not a communist, but I suspect 100% of the people who call him that know that already. Been a democrat my entire life, have voted for republicans at certain times. I do think Bernie might not be the perfect messenger for democratic socialism, but there will be some in the future and unless the country gets more equal, the population may force it at some point. Pretty sure it will be long after I am gone but I don't think a system that is this unequal in opportunity is favored to last.

First you have to accept that there will always be less fortunate, next you have to accept the reality that if you take all the moneys away from all the rich people inside these United States it would not even begin to pay for everything Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Ann Warren are advocating for. In a final acceptance you would have to conclude the middle class would have to be taxed around the 70% to 80% level to pay for what they are advocating. The actual labels they call themselves can not escape the fact that in fact they are communists who basically are seeking to tax the middle class up to their eyeballs and higher. The super Tuesday election results are nothing more than a affirmation that the majority of Americans are not interested in supporting socialist / communist policy period. People will continue to support Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. until Bernard Sanders is destroyed including denying him the nomination at the convention. Do not be naive to think that some right of center voters did not switch and vote democrat and will switch their affiliation back again. In the general election support will evaporate from those who made extra efforts as well as millennial's who naturally do not turn out in general elections.

There is no such thing as Democratic Socialism.

Exactly. That is a term Bernie uses to soften "socialism." He is a full blown socialist plain and simple. Even if he were miraculously elected, he would never be able to pass anything; not even if the House were to remain Democrat.

Doesn't matter (and you probably already knew it). The dem primary system isn't based on cumulative total of votes
