This honestly isn’t true, because the demographics Sanders has staked his campaign on are unreliable voters. They couldn’t even carry him to the Democratic nomination, much less carry him to victory in a general election. Frankly, as much as it pains Bernie’s fans to hear, Biden has more of a chance of appealing to…
Thank you for articulating all this erasure and spin. You outlined my frustration, and that of many, many others. When I went to the LA Sanders rally, I saw every kind of American in attendance. For exactly the reasons you address. I hope this article gets the attention it deserves! Heck yeah, I want a revolution.…
Bernie, the dumb narcissist, is going to endanger a lot of people by forcing them to go to the polls for what’s already a foregone conclusion. He could have shown real leadership and humanity and dropped out, but it’s never about the little guy, it’s about his ego. It says something that I’m stuck in my apartment and…
So Bernie lovers might not get their candidate on the ballot in November.
Sure, it’s a bit of a bummer.
BUT when the ultimate choice comes down between an actual human with the capacity for empathy, the ability to take responsibility for his actions and admit when he’s wrong, and a genuine interest in trying to do…
Bernie’s supporters always seem to approach his candidacy as if it’s an inherent reality that young people are better, or more worthy, or more valuable. Votes, in the end, are valuable, and all people are valuable, as everyone’s effort to shelter and protect the elderly happens now. WHY does Biden need to win over…
Agree 100%. I say that voting is as vital to the continuation of our society as grocery shopping. If I can still go to Kroger, then I still want to cast my vote. I agree with the Ohio judge. DO NOT SET THIS PRECEDENT.
Agreed. Postponing elections when the GOP has a record of election cheating is a terrible idea.
There are drop boxes at libraries and other locations for those that don’t trust the USPS.
Let’s be honest, the Jezebel intelligentsia is hoping that delaying the primaries is going to give Bernie time to come back someway/somehow, or that Biden will stumble or die or whatever. If the votes were reversed they would be SCREAMING right now for Biden to concede.
Can we talk about how our cartoonishly villainous leader, Trump, tried to buy a vaccine from Germany for “USA only?” I guess he’s scrambling for some sort of Hail Mary that will save his ass and get him reelected. And or he’s looking to profit off the desperation of the rest of the world. This dude’s vileness has no…
Counterpoint: DO NOT give Cheetolini (Impeached) ANY precedent WHATSOEVER for fucking with the elections. NONE.
Or they can vote by mail like civilized states do.
They probably should delay the primaries. It’s also true that changing the primaries on short notice would put tremendous strain on state parties, doubly so because there’s no real certainty as to when they could be rescheduled.
I don’t feel like Florida is doing much to get this under control, which is shockingly negligent given the amount of elderly living here. Bars and restaurants are still open unless specific mayors are stepping in and all I’ve seen is that some are being required to close early. The whole “spring break is cancelled” in…
It DOES matter. If Biden wins the nomination and the election, he is only going to be a ONE TERM President. He is setting his VP up to run and win the next election.
Biden is unlikely to make it to a second term
I love how the hysteria of Bernie stans so worried he will not get the nomination (he won’t) that they’ll twist themselves into pretzels to excuse Bernie Sanders’ failings. Tell me again how making a concerted, intentional effort to place women in positions of great power and authority in the United States government…
this piece’s line of “Women are not inherently good choices because of their gender configurations”
The constant critique people give Bernie, though, is his lack of specificity in his plans. “it’ll happen” because it should. Whereas Biden gave a clear promise of intent.
