    Bernie’s fault for not going hard at Joe the entire time

    realistically all Bernie had to do to win was (mostly) repackage his 2016 campaign, and focus more on calling out the record of those he ran against. instead he leaned hard into liberal idpol and DNC trump derangement. tulsi bombed but if bernie had ran the campaign the way she did he would have done so much better. his campaign just didn't resonate as much especially on a more populated field, and he surrounded himself with people who actively alienated what should otherwise be his voterbase.

    (for clarity, it's not that others didn't do similar things, but rather bernie was already coming in as an outsider with a vendetta against him, so him leaning on those same unpopular things clearly exponentiated the dislike of him)

    Best explanation of why Bernie lost I've seen on here yet.

    How does this even make sense lmao

    If anything Bloomberg would be taking votes from Biden, literally no one switched from Bernie to Bloomberg

    Were you following his campaign? His whole message was attacking progressive policy and the Dems moving "too far left" with Bernie. His only purpose was psychological warefare on those who were hesitant to fully commit to Bernie's message.

    Than why would Bloomberg actually run and take votes from other centrist candidates instead of just making some PACs to run ads for the existing more popular candidates?

    He never had a chance of winning. His name recognition and publicity was more harmful to Bernie's message than any funding of some PAC.

    You really think that attacking Biden would have done it for him? I don’t think he did anything wrong tactically, I just think that he got massively let down by his voter base.

    I think he already kind of had a reputation for being kind of hostile and curmudgeonly, and going hard after people wasn’t going to win over any of the more moderate, older vote that he would have needed to swing in order to win it.

    did you really only get "not attacking biden is why he didn't win" from my post?

    any attempts at a***yzing why bernie lost without looking at the media blitz is irresponsible lol.

    also voter suppression, and even then youth turnout being low isn't why he lost. it was as good as it should have been expected to be. it's not like he can all of a sudden force them to make up a larger share of the electorate.

  • Aug 30, 2020

    media = making this whole thing about who is the most likely candidate to beat trump

    also media = constantly telling us that bernie won't be able to beat trump because of the whole socialist thing so he's not electable

    trump = campaigns by calling biden and his team a trojan horse for the radical left while branding moderate democrats radical marxists.

    it was wild in real time for us normies joking about him playing s*** too passively back in like january and in debates...and then he kept that strat up until it was too late lol

    really is depressing he loss with what looked like such a lay up coming into that super tuesday. that's going to probably go down as one of the worst days in post Obama politics lol

    this is what some posters itt called "fye"

    i explicitly mentioned in my post the pre-existing vendetta against him was a factor. however even given that it's impossible not to think bernie himself didn't blow it this time too separately; it's not like Bernie is the first candidate to have a media and party vendetta against him. his campaign was not as strong as 2016 and he played too much into alienating politics. he was never gonna win off solely off of youth voters and his rhetoric was not as appealing to the working class as it was last time he ran.

  • JaeRell

    If Biden actually goes that route

    rip. Blue check liberals will try to cosign that nonsense too.

    Bernie lost and still be on Twitch like every week hosting town halls and s*** and they really keeping Biden in the rejuvenation chamber, smh.

    I honestly think its preferable to having him railroaded by Donald and his pot shots

    if Tulsi was allowed to do what she shoulda been allowed to do, Biden would literally be done.
