If you add Sanders and warren numbers [View all]

they beat the middle of the road front runner. Sorry Biden peeps but facts are facts. How do progressives, majority of voters, recon with that? We need to get this right for the future of humanity. Raw capitalism is destroying our planet and people’s lives!!!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Primaries are not team events...sorry. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #17

I've often thought that myself. wcast Nov 2019 #2

I don't care about any of that. I want a candidate who can win a general and kick psychopathic Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #13

Except JustAnotherGen Nov 2019 #3

Yes, but they don't yet beat the total of the moderates. I'm not giving up, though! LAS14 Nov 2019 #4

It that was the case,she would not be losing support. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #8

She is losing support because of stupid questions rainy Nov 2019 #39

No doubt the media can be brutal...but she did have their support for quite a while... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #46

If you're combining totals, then add Buttigieg and Klobuchar to Biden's numbers. Sorry, Sanders and highplainsdem Nov 2019 #5

Buttigieg ain't dropping out crazytown Nov 2019 #10

And neither is Warren or Sanders, so their numbers can't be combined. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #12

What the polls suggest is that Pete's support is at Warren's expense. crazytown Nov 2019 #22

The polls have suggested Warren had picked up some moderate support that she's now losing, due highplainsdem Nov 2019 #26

Qualitative link? crazytown Nov 2019 #29

Here's one: highplainsdem Nov 2019 #31

That is correlation, not causation. crazytown Nov 2019 #32

Well, if you're going to demand a poll showing exactly which supporters Warren lost to another highplainsdem Nov 2019 #42

She is not going to win nor is Bernie...I doubt either win Iowa or New Hampshire... but Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #6

If you add the "middle of the road" other candidates, Biden beats the Sanders/Warren easily. George II Nov 2019 #7

Raw capitalism, or unregulated capitalism, or predatory capitalism, is toxic. eom guillaumeb Nov 2019 #11

What a ridiculous OP. ChiTownDenny Nov 2019 #14

Not ridiculous. It's engendered some interesting posts. nt LAS14 Nov 2019 #15

Oh yeah? ChiTownDenny Nov 2019 #21

Nope. It's engendered the same old types of posts pointng out it's a false comparison to combine highplainsdem Nov 2019 #28

I haven't seen those OPs. Some of us miss a whole lot of DU posts. Repetition is part... LAS14 Nov 2019 #36

But some horrible math. Why do you get to add the Sanders and Warren numbers? And dem4decades Nov 2019 #34

As several "interesting" replies have pointed out. nt LAS14 Nov 2019 #38

Actually, it's ridiculous. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #44

Are you saying that Biden and Buttigieg support "raw capitalism"? brooklynite Nov 2019 #16

Of course they don't... Joe and Pete's positions are Democratic positions...hell I don't even Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #20

Sanders plus Warren equal 31%, Biden plus Buttigieg equal 39%. No doubt many of the others.... George II Nov 2019 #37

K n R ! Thanks for posting! JoeOtterbein Nov 2019 #18

When will Warren be dropping out? brooklynite Nov 2019 #19

+1000, you don't get to combine votes in a primary...they are hoping they can somehow Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #23

If I add all the numbers awesomerwb1 Nov 2019 #24

Sanders and Warren are still running against each other, aren't they? beastie boy Nov 2019 #25

Can I play? brooklynite Nov 2019 #27

Why wouldn't you also combine votes of other candidates in comparison? Not interested in losing GE. Hoyt Nov 2019 #30

Well then have Warren or Sanders drop out tirebiter Nov 2019 #33

If that holds customerserviceguy Nov 2019 #35

If sanders and Warren are each under 15% then they may get no delegates under 15% rule Gothmog Nov 2019 #40

This makes no logical sense. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #41

If you think all those people will switch to the other candidate, MineralMan Nov 2019 #48
