Sanders biggest mistake was declaring establishment Democrats as the enemy.

2. Yes, in the African American community this was heard as

They are the establishment and don't count. They are now coming out in troves to vote for Biden.

8. They pretty much said it straight our the black vote didn't can't walking away form the south

and making the statement it isn't what America looks like.

3. Very poor judgement.

4. Democrats are not our enemy.

13. Exactly

5. IDK What he was thinking about when that was said

6. A close second was doubling down on his Castro comments.

I was seriously on the fence until then. I could’ve easily voted for him but he lost FL when he did that.

[LizBeth]

7. Pretty big mistake telling the people you want a vote for that they are the bad guys.

I also resent like hell him asking if there is anyone that can think past themselves for those less fortunate as if Democrats has not always been that party.

9. Yeah, the us vs them meme didn't go over so well

Thank you, still_one!

10. Agreed.

He didn’t build the necessary coalition to win this thing. He’s pretty stubborn which is good in many situations but not good when trying to run for a position where governing with compromise is required.

11. I truly never understood why he took that tact.

He could have said "I disagree with democratic leaders and more moderate democrats in these areas, ..........., but, make no mistake, the democratic leaders and voters that don't fully agree with me want what is best for America, and so do I.

[still_one]

14. You are right

[Blue_true]

16. Believe if he had that message and stuck to it, he may have

won in 16, or vein better shape tonight. How he spoke about democrats turned off the very voters that he needed.

12. Looking at the 90 day Predictit graph, that statement was the turning point

15. Socialist-minded Democrats need to learn how

to play well with the other children.

17. It wasn't a one time comment either

It was a sustained attack by him and his surrogates, online and in speeches

Very hard to miss, and harder to ignore

[rufus dog]

18. Straight out ignorant if the plan is to win

And I don't thing Bernie is ignorant.
