Democratic Primaries

(630 posts)18. They did, and here's the reason, in my opinion.
They had NO plan for a consolidated race. Their plan, in my view, was to rely on the large field staying in the race, getting to a large plurality of delegates heading in to the convention, and daring the party establishment to take it from them. Sanders and his team of crackpot hires never had a strategy for broadening his base. He can't be ideologically flexible at all; it's simply not in his nature and the basis of a "revolution" can never be compromise, in the mind of the revolutionary. Now, he's completely toast, his window is nearly completely closed, and his people are lashing out. It's disgusting. I hope Joe can end this bullshit by next Tuesday so we have time to heal whatever rifts are able to be healed within the party.

I know. I agree. "Going high" only makes it easier for them to continue to go low!

Wrong - 70% wants a form of universal healthcare. To say they want "Medicare for All" is false.

Probably stay home, since they didn't even show up for Bernie in the primaries.

Honestly... It feels as though Bernie (and surrogates) decided a "scorched earth" strategy

There is no excuse. If he does not know what his hires are doing..then he is totally inept

I blame the overly exuberent supporters he's drawn. I hope he stays in the Senate.

Me too, sadly. I used to like him, I even voted for him in 2016, but he's driven me away.
