Democratic Primaries

(20,709 posts)There's really no denying the fact that nominating Biden is trying the same thing as 2016 and expecting different results. A centrist with a stellar resume.
Now, maybe we willl get different results, I hope we do. But Biden voters in the primary consistently say their main objective is defeating Trump. If that's true, they should turn out to vote against Trump in any case.
Bernie does better with young voters, with independents, and with voters who decided based on policy rather than electability. And whether or not Bernie is the nominee, we definitely want those people to turn out. And they are less reliable than the "just get rid of Trump" voters. Which is why, at some point, it would probably be a good idea to stop calling them Bernie Bros and cultists, and instead of telling Joe Rogan and his millions of listeners to go fuck themselves, maybe give them a reason to vote for Dems.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
