Mini Tuesday results thread

Are we getting more needles tonight?

The needles got replaced by flashing Biden neon signs.

In case you wanted more...

Assuming that Sanders somehow wins the presidency, how is he going to be able to achieve those things?

It seems more like a wishlist than an actual plan.

When Wayne comes in, Biden is going to win MI in a landslide.

Dems can't win alienating a third of their party. This primary is going to be really hard for Sanders supporters.

no one is alienating sanders supporters.

Except for Biden himself and basically every Biden supporter who are telling us they don’t want our votes?

Literally am currently talking to a group chat full of Biden supporters who are pretty much acting as if Bernie is the “real enemy” and that “yay Bernie supporters are all gone” - they’re pretty much doing everything they can to signal that Bernie supporters aren’t wanted in their sphere of support.


Which is also what the Biden supporters in this thread are doing.

Everyone else is tired of Bernie and his supporters complaining that the system is rigged and he is being cheated out of an election.

Fact of the matter is that Sanders loss because he doesn't appeal to a broad enough coalition.

Someone prominet  tweeted (I no longer can find it) that biden would be under pressure to pick:

A women
A person of color
Somone from the Left

Putting all four togeather, there is really only one person notable enough, and she is from Massachusetts. It would be a total parallel to Romney's pick of Ryan, since she would be aligned with the activist legislative left, but not from the crazy left.

Hate to tell you, but Susan Rice isn't from Massachusetts.

I agree with you. As someone who has backed Biden since before he announced, I apologize for the people tearing Sanders down. Especially the former Republicans who want to act like know-it-alls in the party.

Thanks, that’s really all I need to hear, although folks like you don’t need to apologize for what others say.

And to respond to GMA, basically what I’ve been saying this whole time: People who go after Sanders supporters and generalize about them as a whole, rather than specifying that it’s the Twitter crowd that bothers them. Or folks who need to rant about how terrible Sanders is every time he dares draw breath. Yes, most Biden supporters don’t do that (especially those who support Biden because they like the guy), but there are some who do, particularly among those who only support him to stop Sanders.

Either way, with the exception of a comment or two from Biden very early on, he hasn’t really been driving a divisive narrative, and I’m not going to hold him accountable for what other people say, but I do hope he extends an olive branch to progressives.

I go to a pretty big university and I am getting harassed for being a Biden supporter.

"Boo! Boo!"

"Traitor! Traitor!"

"What the #### is wrong with you!"

Other Biden supporters (at my University) don't even dare tell many other people.
