Bad night for Bernie Sanders

Projected wins are not a victory. Less than 1% of actual votes are reported, and exit poll articles contain some special gems like, āBiden captures 79% of āvery liberal votersā in Missouri.ā

Yaāll got to pull on your adulting pants and get behind Biden, looks like Biden is our only hope at getting Cheetolini out. Vote Blue Vote Blue VOTE BLUE! [even if it hurts to]

Yeah, Biden has it pretty much in the bag. For some reason the voters decided the best candidate is the one that reminded them the most of John Kerry. Democratic voters just canāt stop making the same mistake over and over again.
Iām hunkering down for a repeat of 2004 where low voter enthusiasm allows the incumbent to capture and even larger margin of victory.

Voice of wisdom. As mediocre and possibly dangerous as Biden is, heās probably going to win the primary and probably going to be the USās only shot. Hate him as much as you want, heās still leagues ahead of the other guy.

Or maybe we could drum up some enthusiasm for Joe online and try to get him elected, eh? I love the BB community, but Iām really disappointed in the hate Iāve read in the past few days. People voted and the majority want Bidenā¦ do you guys want to ignore the majority?

Yes, he is no tRump, but the potential is there, unfortunately.

Disappointed? Really! Well how do think the rest of us feel with the entire situation? High-Horsing right now isnāt what the USA needs. Help get the vote out.

Darn straight. When my stubborn optimism has no legs left to stand on, then itās time to bow to our media titan overlords. Not a second before.

Things were very different in 2004 than they are in 2020. As horrible as W was, the nation wasnāt bursting headlong into an existential crisis.
Iām hoping even if Biden is the nominee that the stakes of 4 more years of Trump weigh heavily on the minds of the disappointed Bernie Bros and others who didnāt get their preferred candidate (and I say this as someone that voted for Bernie in my stateās primary today).

This. Hereās where the cold hard fact sets in. The fact that the Democratic voter population is 60% (shudder!!) - ācentristā.

Some primaries allow everyone to vote regardless of political party. Republicans who voted in these states largely prefer Biden.

It helps with Trumpās narrative that the Dem establishment has it out for Crazy Bernie.

I donāt dislike the guy, really.
Itās that I think he is an opportunist and may well be fading.
And Sanders and Warren are much closer to me in policy.
I was really hoping that 45 left a hole just the size and shape of either
Warren or Sanders.

He threatened to assault and batter a voter.
Iām done with rich, white, tough guy bullshit.
