Biden: No one will pay for care during a crisis.

Bernie: But what about 30,000 people per year who die from lack of care when its not a national crisis?

Do we have the courage to take on the industries who are funding Biden's campaign?

Biden: This is like we're being attacked from abroad

GO BERNIE GO

oh no. Joe talked about ebola so much that he made Bernie call this the "ebola crisis" 3 times.

Yikes.

It boils down to whether or not we should simply respond to crises in a reactionary way after they happen or have a system in place that is disaster resilient. Trump is the president during this crisis. Neither of these men will be in charge of addressing this crisis right now.

[Edited on March 15, 2020 at 8:29 PM. Reason : imagine having a choice between avoiding crises or responding to them]

he keeps talking about "making people whole" What about people who were never whole?

Brilliant. He got Biden to argue that poor people would have lost everything if we didn't give the banks a blank check. That should be all anyone needed to hear.

Tokenism at its finest. Reminds me of how racism was put away after Obama became president.

What Bernie should have done during the women conversation was gone into Anita Hill. Trump will and he will also parade at least a dozen female biden accusers come october.

So, where are we with the elections being postponed.

I am so caught in the middle on this and it’s mostly due to the voting system in this country being a god damn disgrace. On one side, obviously it’s a public health crisis and no one should be in a line with a hundred people for hours on end. You almost have no choice but to postpone. I totally get it. Vote by mail should be standard and it NEEDS to be ready nationwide by November at ANY cost (State level, I know).

On the other hand, there is something deeply, deeply unsettling at governors openly defying the courts to postpone elections on the eve of said election. I know, right now, it’s in good faith (mostly talking about DeWine) but it’s a small step past that and into authoritarianism.

TLDR; shoulder shrug

Said this before, but not one ounce of energy should be wasted by what Trump might do. He’s an asshole with no shame.

well yeah YOU said that and I agreed with you but we are just two people. most democrats are 100% focused on what Trump might do. Its the main reason a lot of people are voting for Biden in the first place and therefor a key in this election.

If you took the turnout diff bw 2016 and now in Illinois and FL and gave 100%brown Bernie, he would get a small win in Illinois. In FL he would need another 600k votes still

Bernie had no chance, but the elections still shouldn't have been held and what the DNC is doing moving forward is irresponsible and will kill people.

bernie was down big in the polls. he wasn't going to win under normal conditions. having the election now was dangerous and irresponsible. Delyaing the election (until who knows when) may have changed the dynamic to benefit bernie but even that is unlikely. I think people are angry that it seems they chose to keep it going BECAUSE bernie was losing and they didn't want to take any chances.

probably would have been a good reason for Bernie to acknowledge the reality of his campaign at this point and have dropped out so that the Dem party wouldn't have to make the difficult decisions they did and they could go ahead and cancel the rest of the primaries without being.

By not dropping out, Bernie is responsible for us having to keep holding these primary elections

Total bullshit. Bernie is not the only person on the ballot. There are downballot candidates as well. The fault lies squarely with the DNC.

Cool to see qntmfred shilling for them now that Yang endorsed Biden though.

but Bernie losing will be dangerous to the entire planet. Knowing that, he couldn't just drop out and LET Biden win. Playing it out might allow something crazy to happen. Bernie isn't in charge of when primaries are scheduled. There are other people who could push it back like some states have.

downballot elections can much more easily be rescheduled for a month or two later. we all know that in practical terms the urgency is around the presidential election, for better or for worse

do not confuse me suggesting that Bernie should drop out with me being supportive of the DNC or the Democratic establishment. you all want to blame only the DNC and everybody else who doesn't have the head up Bernie's ass, when Bernie clearly had a role to play in this calculus as well

you two are seriously the worst.

it's all the same schedule man. if bernie dropped out, the DNC would still need to suspend all of the other elections. it's not on him and it's entirely unfair to say that.

having the elections was an absolutely terrible decision in regards to spreading the pandemic


they were also carried out in undemocratic fashion because of all of the problems

and that's exactly what should have happened. prioritize public health by rescheduling the elections, which while not ideal would still have left enough time for almost all downballot races to have a competitive and fair evaluation for voters

Quote :

it's not entirely on Bernie, of course. but it's not entirely on the DNC either. it's a difficult decision to make, which is why some states ended up going ahead, and others didn't. But if Bernie had suspended his campaign a week or even days ago, it would have made it a lot simpler choice for states to make.

Yes - reschedule the entire primary. In fact, Bernie was the only candidate calling for this, while the DNC was threatening states and telling them they would lose delegates if they rescheduled.

candidates used to not be decided until the convention, voters still had time




and candidates are welcome to campaign against trump now, rescheduling the primary doesn't change this

Bernie's won 40% of the delegates so far and has lost momentum with each set of elections over the last 3 weeks. To win, he'll have to SUDDENLY win 65% of the remaining delegates. get a grip on reality guys

Everyone here has accepted that reality, but there are reasons for him to remain in the race for now. And again, rescheduling the primaries is not contingent upon him dropping out - we're taking issue with you siding with the Neera Tandens of the world who are disingenuously putting the blame on Sanders for this. You should be well aware of how the DNC operates, put the pressure where it belongs.

That's irrelevant to needing to cancel elections and blaming him for not dropping out. Nobody has won yet, maybe Biden should drop out to the avoid elections?

It's the DNCs ballgame to go on or not. There is really no reason every primary couldn't be on the same day in the future
