Super Tuesday Results Thread

Anyone notice the Texas needle slowly slipping away from Biden? Sanders has a pretty good lead there now.

I notice that Texas is counting votes about as fast as molasses. Hurry up!

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

I can confidently say, as a true and blue Bernie supporter since 2015, I was far more enthusiastic about Hillary than I am about Biden.

Eww.

They're still saying the early vote is election day vote, so I'm just ignoring the nettle at this point.  Texas reporting is a sh**tshow right now

MSNBC calling MN for Biden. It's over folks.

[Mr. Illini]

Biden likely to win Berkshire County in MA. The WWC strength is formidable. Bad news for Bernie moving forward and possible good news in the General?

[GoTfan]

I was ready compromise and get behind Biden, but seeing all this "haha suck it Bernie Bros you're all losers" is convincing me more and more that there is no room for progressives in the Democratic Party.

There literally hasn’t been that much of that at all? And anyone who IS doing that is an idiot. I’m a Biden supporter who supported Bernie in 2016. I was crushed when he lost. I enthusiastically supported Hillary and my views have changed a bit, but I would never make fun of someone who’s candidate isn’t doing well. People poured their hearts into Bernie and I know how that feels. It sucks

You must be not reading any comments on this thread.

Just wait when California starts reporting their numbers

This thread is a total clown show at the moment. You don't have to throw up the towel and give in when this is the first multistate contest. You don't get to act like you're god because you support Biden. This is shaping up to be a fairly typical two way primary season, and saying anything more is overblowing it substantially.

Cenk started crying before TYT cut to a commercial break, for those not watching.

Just imagine how he'll react to the results of his own race.

Hopefully Biden runs a better campaign for the general. He can't count on Jim Clyburn and a bunch of Democratic candidates to drag him over the finish line in a general election.

[Gass3268]

Biden back to being the favorite in Texas.

[SN2903]

Who the hell cares what Biden did in Nova. Virginia won't matter to the final result of this election. Trump is going to crush Biden in turnout. Trump's turnout in North Carolina was huge tonight. He is going to bring in even millions more voters than 2016. Trump could get 70 million votes.

[Orser67]

Atlas, how are y'all feeling tonight?

I feel awesome. With Biden now having a chance at winning the nomination outright, and with Cunningham winning in NC, I think Democrats have a real chance of winning the presidency and the Senate and actually passing laws.

It's officially politics season.

They switched on him!

Even they like trolling him!

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Honestly it's hard to look at these maps and conclude that Sanders has the widespread working class appeal his surrogates have been touting.

Yeah, I hate to admit it but the country's just not ready for Sanders' brand of politics.  Bernie Sanders is not Barack Obama, and until the progressive wing of the party can find a candidate like Obama who has widespread appeal and can sell these policies to voters beyond his or her core base, we're not going to get anywhere close to getting them passed.  All we can do right now is steadily push the mainstream of the Democratic Party to the left, but that is going to take time and generational change.

Once this primary is over though, progressives will be left in the dark without a leader.  Maybe AOC will fill that space, but even she would be too polarizing for the electorate at this time.  We really have nowhere to go.  And until we have another recession, the status quo will continue to dominate.

There is no point in trying to have hope for this country anymore.  Nothing will change.

Someone will come along soon enough. I think a lot of the reason Sanders is lacking support was because of the lack of attempt to win over other candidates’ supporters. Another was that people are tired and Sanders is simply too much drama for some people. I would hardly lose hope for progressives tonight

If I were Bernie Sanders, I definitely would have run on his message very differently.  There's a reason why I was a Liz Lad for half the campaign.  The main reason I switched to Sanders is that her political instincts are godawful, much as I believe she would've made a better president than anyone else who ran this year.

But the bottom line is Sanders couldn't do it.  Warren couldn't do it.  Progressives need to go back to the drawing board and plan for the next cycles.  The problem is that our pool, right now anyway, is very small.  Maybe when income inequality reaches its peak and major cities start going under water, we'll find someone who will not only promise but can deliver on that radical change this country needs.

Last week, weren’t you starting four new threads a day about how nominating Bernie was going to be a disaster for Democrats?

Note about VA: electorate was a lot less Democratic vs. 2016, possibly due to lack of a competitive R primary this time.

Party ID:
-2016: 76% D, 3% R, 22% I
-2020: 66% D, 6% R, 28% I

Ideology:
-2016: 68% liberal, 29% moderate, 3% conservative
-2020: 52% lib., 39% mod., 8% cons.

Joe for the past week has been 1000 times better (particularly his energy) than Joe for the whole rest of the campaign. I'm worried he won't be able to keep up the energy for 9 months, though.

[DrScholl]

Sanders only got 62% of the vote in Burlington, VT.

That's really surprising.
