2020 Democratic Nominee
I don't think Sanders is supposed to win Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Alabama. You can tell what he's focusing on by where's had his huge rallies, mostly the biggest super Tuesday states. It's been North Carolina, Texas, California, and Washington. Virginia is probably where he needs to focus next given that poll that just dropped showing him tied with Blooms.

2020 Democratic Nominee
I donated to Warren and my wife is pretty much still committed to voting for Warren and is a social worker. She's 36, uses social media less frequently than me, and I don't think I've ever heard her complain about Bernie Bros probably because she rarely watches cable news. I've no idea if you're even white, but god damn the only people I have heard complain about Bernie Bros are generally well off white people who at at least 45 if not outright boomers. They're savvy enough to use social media and just cannot fathom why he has a rabid fan base or they do absolutely no research of their own outside of listening to media pundits who cannot stand the fact that they get ratio'd on twitter. I try not to be a dick unless I know for a fact someone is being disingenuous and wouldn't ever vote for Bernie (usually never-Trumper conservatives), but for so many of us, and there are a lot of women who get nasty as shit on twitter in defense of Bernie, this isn't some game. This is real life and death situations and we aren't going to move forward enough, especially with climate change, with little steps. I've said this before, I don't care if you don't vote for Bernie and don't want to vote for him in the general because we were the ones who were blamed for Trump, even though I and damn near ever Bernie supporter I know voted for Hillary. I can only tell people like your wife to really look at who is the most passionate, even on twitter, because it's a hell of a lot of non-white people and women. This isn't 2016, it's 2020 and you'll see how many people who really inspires by taking a look at who shows up to his rallies in Texas, Nevada, Washington, California.

2020 Democratic Nominee
Because this is a repeat of 2016 in reverse. The Democrats though Trump would be the easiest to defeat, Hillary and Bill wanted him to win, and they completely failed to see what actually appealed to enough people. Republicans think saying Socialist enough times over (which is what they've done since Obama and it doesn't work as well anymore) about someone who will lean into that label will be enough.

2020 Democratic Nominee
I mean I haven't seen really anything about him in Nevada though, I'm sure he's been there at least once since NH but running to South Carolina really makes me think he's just given up. Steyer is the one spending like crazy on advertising apparently and most people on the ground there think he's going to do well.

2020 Democratic Nominee
Yeah, that is a huge outlier though with all the national polling that indicates Bernie is clear and away strongest with Latinos and the other Data for Progress poll in Nevada. Biden is barely campaigning (if at all?) in Nevada and I'd be shocked if he even came in second.

Bernie Sanders 2020 Watch
The first answer media pundits give is Stacey Abrams. I love her, but I have doubts as to how much she'd carry on an unabashed DSA style agenda. Tammy Baldwin has been suggested as she has been very publicly in support of M4A and would hopefully push just as hard but hasn't come out in support of a GND yet I think. My idea pick would be one of the progressive House members that are eligible like Ro Khanna although he isn't super charismatic. I don't want a John Tyler situation where Bernie is suddenly sidelined or can't run for a second term and you wind up blunting a lot of this huge leftist energy we're seeing from all kinds of working people. Nina Turner actually would be the best because she's clearly #2 in terms of the energy she brings to his rallies (and yes that is her job) but she would drop dead before she gave up the fight for progressive legislation, however I think her lack of experience may keep that from happening (although Stacey doesn't have much more).

Jimmy, he's a fucking Republican because he isn't one of the most racist policing policies in NYC and only had to see it when the courts told him to.

Ding ding, my Bernie Bro ass would be enthusiastic to vote for anyone who isn't Bloomberg, he really makes the others look good by comparison.

Michael Bloomberg for President 2020
I'm not saying they don't, but there is a huge group of black people who have very publicly come out and said that they will not vote for Bloomberg under any circumstance. This isn't some Bernie or Bust adjacent thing, these are real people who think every candidate besides Bloomberg would improve their lives vs Trump.

There is a lot of blow-black from non-white people on that too if you bother to look.

Michael Bloomberg for President 2020
I'm sorry but have you literally listened to any black people on this subject? You posted a tweet from Ben Dixon in the other thread mocking that DSA Twitter guy for getting Elijah Cummings and John Lewis confused, take a look at his twitter timeline.

Cool, now let's look at real wage increases that have barely kept up with inflation vs. CEO pay, the cost of healthcare rising (BEFORE the ACA was implemented), the cost of tuition, the complete dismantling of unions under Reagan and others, the federal minimum wage being worth damn near nothing, etc etc. Almost like the country isn't the same as it once was.

That is a very bad poll for Biden, Pete, and Warren that they're so low with the old crowd. I bet Steyer takes second, he's spent a shitload advertising there.

2020 Dems: Nevada (gonna make Iowa look competent!)
Yep, Nevada only started using the caucus format in 2008. Can't wait for them to double down on this inevitable shitshow.

2020 Dems: Nevada (gonna make Iowa look competent!)
I think this is the third different story to come out over the past week or so about volunteers and captains still being in the dark as to how these iPads and "tool" will be used. If they have any problems then they were warned on multiple occasions.
