Mega-Thread: Democratic 2020 Primaries

How so? He has the popular vote.

Not even close. His little run gonna hit a snag pretty soon the moment he reaches other states. I expect him to end up helping Trump get re-elected again with his brain dead cultists dividing votes.

No Hillary this time round. He has won both the popular votes thus far.

Yeah, he's gonna screw himself over by existing while all the propaganda apparatus tries to shut him down. Which somehow ends up being his fault

[Gaidax]

It's nothing to do about Hillary, reality is that Democrats are not going to vote him 100% far from it, where as Republicans will go 100% Trump or at least close to that.

Bernie's policies make a lot of Democrats turn nose for a good reason.

I know you guys really really really really really really hate Trump and would vote for anyone to beat him....but do you want to give your nomination to someone who doesn't want to be in your party? I don't even understand how you let an independent pretend to be in your party and let him hijack the nomination over the most fake senator running, the senator nobody knows, the gay mayor who black people hate, a bad version of Mr Howell, and the zombie who keeps saying the wrong thing every chance he gets. Your media overlords said this group is b level this weekend, I think that is too high of a grade. You can keep trying to run on Trump hatred, but the group you have running has nothing worth voting for otherwise. So are you okay having the independent who has a giant closet full of socialist videos against him as your best shot at the presidency?

Because Sanders is the best of the lot.

And your "sOcIaLiSt" screech doesn't carry weight anymore.

Do you seriously believe the other candidates have even a remote chance against Trump lol

Yeah that's what I mean by the DNC screwing him over. They would rather Trump win then have him represent them, even though he has the support of the masses

So the big Fivethirtyeight winner from last night was the "No One" category. Of course, there are all sorts of caveats due to the idiosyncratic nature of Iowa, Bloomberg's attempt to buy the race, and other odd happenings. Nonetheless, "No One is the big winner" is about the best one sentence summary possible for the Democratic 2020 primary thus far.

Iowa and New Hampshire represent only 5% of the votes to win a nomination the whole hype has always been media bullshit.

Well a lot of young people, who obviously failed history, don't mind socialism, this is why they are backing a rich old dud who is a career politician. So yeah I expect him to do well in the primaries but I think he has the one of the lowest chance to beat Trump. Democrats would be better off to pick someone more moderate. As people drop out we will see where their voters go.

As a Trump loyalist you should be happy then since you have nothing to worry about.

Please stop baiting and lying it only makes you look silly, I didn't vote for Trump and I will vote who I think is best.

Polls show he has the best chance of beating Trump.

Also Trump himself was caught saying he is afraid of running against Bernie. Remember that one time Bernie ended up on Fox and friends and the moderators couldn't stop the audience from ending up giving him a standing ovation after he was done talking? Trump remembers.

I would think after 2016 people would stop believing in silly polls

Which is Trump not sure why you are still pretending otherwise.

There you go baiting again, guess there is no reason to bother with a dishonest poster.

[Milchshake]

Momentum matters and outside of Sanders who has momentum really? During Super Tuesday it will be decided mostly and you will see a few people drop out, personally I think Biden will drop out Warren perhaps.
Buttigier and Klobuchar will keep on running just like Cruz and Kasich who can continue running a bit longer since there was no high expectation from the start

Hi! I see you're new to US politics. Put down your "burn the 'establishment' book", for a bit. Here's an insight for you.

Momentum is a bullshit concept. Political reporters like to borrow it from American 'sportsball journalism'. Makes them feel less nerdy. Makes them pretend they are cool and edgey like Hunter S Thompson.

Remember your gamergate roots and embrace the "ethics in journalism". Momentum is bullshit. Horseracing is not journalism.

• One candidate leads in polls.
• Another candidate leads in delegates.
• And another candidate leads in endorsements.

Seems silly to claim anyone is a leader at this point.

The irony here Mr. woke independent is rather amazing.

The problem isn't Sanders. It's his supporters. His supporters who also didn't listen to him in 2016 when he said to vote for Hillary.

The main reason I'm not voting for Bernie in the primary is because of his supporters. That sort of scorched earth politics does not need to be rewarded. Just like the Trumpers "own the libs" needs to be punished at the ballot box so do the "berniebro" style of supporters.

And yes, if Bernie wins the nomination I'll vote for him in the general. Because unlike some of his supporters I know what is at stake.

You’re voting for Bernie, not his supporters.

Also, you guys do realize that the media played a large part in toxifying Sanders supporters right?

No, Bernie himself says loudly and slowly, that one "cannot support Buttigieg or Warren, because they might be supported by billionaires". It's a big part of Bernie's whole fucking shit.

It's sad how selectively you guys apply logic.

And no, 5 years of crying "Hillary is a corporate shill", the bro detoxified themselves.

A billion snake emojis later... Bernie's campaign is begging for Warren to support him.

As a matter of fact, I think none of these candidates have a chance vs Trump and Trump is assured to win re-election. Pretty sad that this is all Dems could offer really.

But wait, you think Bernie can win vs Trump? That's cute.

Unfortunately they cannot afford to alienate and lose Bernie's voters, without them it's a certain loss. With them? Still probably not favored to win but best chances overall. Turnout needs to be HIGH.

Sure Trump is definitely the favorite to win but within the Dem party Sanders has the most mass appeal and best chance of winning against Trump. It's a long shot but still he is the best choice to put forward when you consider the terrible standards of the other Dem candidates. Beggars can't be choosers.
