    It’s strange to me that Bernie’s fairly narrow win New Hampshire is being touted as such a success when he won there in 2016 with a large majority of votes (60 to 37). The state should’ve been expected to go for Bernie, and probably shouldn’t have been as competitive as it was.

    Bernie has a more diverse coalition this time.

    Bernie winning NH is still a victory, and the media acting like he didn't win is stupid. Him winning by such a small margin really isn't a great optic though, I definitely agree. In 2016, he was only against one person and won by such a big margin. Now against all these people, the margin is far, far smaller. I think it kind of shows how much of the votes for him were just anti-Clinton votes, not general anti-Moderate votes at the time.

    i don't know why people think bloomberg will take the primary nomination. he's buying his way in and he's definitely making a couple of waves, but it's far too late for him to enter the public's mind. i could be totally wrong, but it just doesn't seem feasible.

    I haven’t seen the media act like he didn’t win but I don’t really watch the news lol, doesn’t surprise me though. But yeah if you combine all of Bernie and Warren/Yang/Tulsi votes, it would total to around 43%, while Pete/Klob/Biden total to 55%. Obviously it wouldn’t shake out just like that. But if Pete and Klob starts losing steam (I think he will), Biden will likely grab all of that support. And Biden will likely start to regain momentum as some of these next states he’s better positioned to do well.

    I’m aware there are far more candidates, so I would t expect him to win by the same majority. But it’s strange that it isn’t a decisive victory when the moderates are a lot more splintered due to the high number of candidates than the progressives are. I just said this in my last post but progressives/Bernie-is-my-likely-second-choice candidates got 43% of the vote, while moderates got around 55%.

    Warren needs to go ahead and drop out, she’s holding Bernie back and isn’t set to perform significantly better anywhere else.

    let’s goooo

    IBEW union endorsed Joe Biden last week but apparently many members are not happy. Here’s hoping they make a similar press release soon.

    For the culinary union, it’s unfortunate to see a lot of infighting but I think this guy makes great points on union leadership struggles, particularly over M4A

    Apparently there are a lot of sus connections between NV union leaders and establishment dems per culinary union drama and hillary unfairly being awarded delegates in 2016. Will post links I saw last night when I find them

    I understand. My take is Bernie who won rural Iowa when HRC was sweeping the cities is now losing in those parts to moderates. That pattern continued in N.H.

    Bernie can still win rural areas. But far more than in 2016, he shows signs of becoming an urban juggernaut—especially in diverse, working-class neighborhoods.
