This gives me the mental image of Biden at the next debate going on a big rant about rat emojis or something, and I honestly want to see it!

Also some of Biden's biggest supporters crashed the global economy in 2008 but let's just forget about that.

Dang, now if only he had supporters.

Uncle Joe's SC Firewall is under siege.

It is not the end of the beginning, it is the beginning of the end.  And it is about time too.

If Biden is starting to flop in South Carolina his campaign is DoA going into ST

[OneJ]

I'd love it if he could, McCain-style, but I don't see that capability in his campaign operation.  They aren't built for this.

Honestly, that seems to be most similar to what Sanders is going through at the moment. McCain started the campaign off in 2nd place in the around the 20s similar to what happened with Sanders and both of them fell to 3rd (and in McCain's case 4th) for an extended period of time in the teens just to return back in the 20s in January. One difference being that McCain surged while Sanders hasn't done so (yet) in the aggregates.

This is the strategy?  Performative outrage at Sanders supporters?

The moderate Dems do not have the fortitude to win this one.  Not even close.  It's about god damned time the professionally offended take a back seat.  We'll be knocking on doors and getting in the face of the MAGA crowd.  You'll be home having panic attacks about the latest Tweet from a Sanders supporter that hurt your feelings.  And we'll continue to put up W's.  You'll continue to curl into a ball and pray that these listless "attacks" will work.  Have fun.

Lol settle down Spartacus. No one is buying the tough guy act. It’s not about “crying” about his supporters. It’s about the constant hatred and vitriol that a significant portion of his hardcore supporters constantly sling at anyone who doesn’t agree with them. People are sick of it. They attack fellow liberals more than Trump

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yeah, Joe Biden is getting desperate now, he didnt call out Carol Mosley-Braun for helping speed up the dismantling of her campaign based on busing. Biden knows that he is gonna lose.

Total BS.  A significant amount of Bernie supporters are great people that are very passionate about real policies.  They are very passionate about their candidate.  Only a tiny minority of supporters engage in seemingly unfair attacks, but it’s completely understandable given the constant amount of vitriol and hate sent Bernie’s way by the establishment, corporate Democrats, specifically the former Clinton affiliates and supporters that have embedded themselves in other campaigns.  The vitriolic, sexist “Bernie Bro” myth is just a campaign strategy of last resort to defeat Bernie in the primaries, because the establishment can’t beat him on policy or character

In 2016, Hillary Clinton supporters and associates attacked the supporters of Bernie Sanders for being hateful and vitriolic, and establishment media consistently pushed those claims, as well as asked both candidates to apologize for their supporters.  A former digital strategist for the Clinton campaign described how they also engaged vitriolic rhetoric against Bernie, and expressed in the Guardian that “only Sanders supporters were singled out as villains”. The Guardian also apologized for their unfair attacks on Bernie supporters, noting that anti-Bernie supporters were just as vitriolic when they decided to treat Sanders fairly.  The Guardian wrote about Clinton supporters that, “They impugned our motives and character, called us traitors and sellouts, and mobbed our Twitter threads. It was a disconcerting awakening to the hypocrisy of those who slam Sanders supporters as a bunch of sexist young white males, then engage in identical behavior to those they criticize.”  https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/21/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-attacks-netflix.  

Despite the many complaints about the 10% of Bernie supporters that voted for Trump or third party candidate cause they were attacked personally in 2016, the divisive “Bernie Bro” attacks are being reiterated by opponents that claim to be the most electable candidate to take on Trump.  Repeating the mistakes of Clinton doesn’t make you more electable.  It hurts the Democrat party.  While attacking the Bernie supporters might have hampered Bernie in the 2016 primary, it certainly didn’t help against Trump. Thus, Joe Biden is likely hurting the Democrats in the general with his comments, and hopefully the candidates with a real chance don't engage in failed tactics.

My reference to "fellow liberals" was just referring to people who fall on the left or "liberal" end of the political spectrum, as opposed to the right or "conservative" end. It's not that deep....

Return to this prediction in May to see if I'm correct:

Biden will get 2nd or 3rd in NV, rebound to strongly win SC, win the South while losing elsewhere to Sanders on Super Tuesday, Sanders builds a small delegate lead that never goes away and puts away the nomination after winning New York in April (Biden-Sanders duel from March-May).

A non-factor after Biden rebounds from South Carolina. I'm pretty convinced that voters will be persuaded to stick with the Vice President who just won a state over someone who hasn't been on the ballot yet. But I could be wrong, even laughably so; who knows!

You have to be careful when you use that term now, it's somehow become pejorative on the left too.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The rise of Klobuchar is stealing moderate votes away from Biden, as we see that, Steyer and Bernie, two progressives benefitting. Warren is hoarse now and cant speak as she is now supporting Klobuchar for Prez or should I say Bernie of Steyer's Veep. Biden's last stance is SC and hopefully,  Steyer wins

I think Biden would win one-on-one if he alone occupies the moderate lane. As much as I like Mike, Mayor Pete and Klobuchar, I still hope all of them will be out after Uncle Joe hopefully rebounds after South Carolina and Super Tuesday, that he can win the nomination.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

If Klobuchar continues to rise in the polls, Biden is done, even if he wins SC, ST has Bloomberg on it and Bloomberg and Bernie will continue to dominate headlines and Biden wont win MI, IL, CA, TX and the states he needs to clinch

NV is probably the end of the road for Biden, if Steyer comes in second, Steyer will win SC, Biden has lost VA and FL and TX, must win states for him

[PragmaticProgressive]

Barack Obama endorsed Bloomberg.

Biden should withdraw and do the same. IMO.

Fake news. Obama didn't endorse and won't until there is a nominee.
