I saw the first ad period from Bernie in Michigan yesterday, but only the one time

Yeah, he's buying ad time in states beyond Super Tuesday. He's just conceding most states on ST itself.

Lol how does one run up the score in a primary?

Pinterest Mom posted:

Yeah. Bernie is advertising only (and heavily!) in Oklahoma, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Minnesota on Super Tuesday. He's spending nothing (zero dollars [actually 0 I'm not exaggerating]) in each of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia.

That's smart. Virginia maybe not so smart, but the other states I don't see him getting.

The live results thread on /r/sandersforpresident is having an ongoing discussion about Hillary winning the over 65 black vote by 96%.

The most popular theories are that old black people are socially and economically conservative, have a "plantation mentality" that caused them to never even consider Bernie, and a link to the Wikipedia page for "Antisemitism in the United States: Jump to African-Americans."

Huh I figured it'd be ST when we first saw liberals unirionically calling blacks who vote against them 'plantation mentality' voters like the Republicans do.

It makes some amount of sense if you see the writing on the wall to focus on racking up delegates at this point and try to push an issue on the platform at the convention. Maybe get a bloc to get behind putting single payer on the platform.

No man it's like basketball. See clinton is tiring herself out in this one part of the game just clowning on guys. By second half they're gonna rally and she's gonna be dead on her feet and...what's that this is a political race not a basketball game? Oh poo poo nevermind!

Id imagine the logic is that if Hillary volunteers see her as already having won theyll be less likely to go out and canvas and phonebank?

The problem is that the states he's abandoning have 500+ delegates. He has to keep them relatively close to have a shot at the nomination, and it looks like he's not even trying.

The difference between old white people and old black people is that old black people never stopped pretending to hate Jews.

Even old white people will come out and admit that they only care about them inasfar as they kill Muslims and bring about the rapture

He probably doesn't have the resources. He spent and spent big on the first states. Unfortunately it wasn't enough.

His Super Tuesday actions are also ignoring the idea that his fundraising and MOMENTUM might take a serious hit if he just threw away those states. He's loving himself over for a win, but yeah pushing himself forward at sending a strong message (although he already has)

Uyger on The Young Turks has basically spent the last 15 minutes warning everyone that if we don't elect Bernie we're going to have a financial apocalypse. Its like watching the anti-Fox News.

yeah the problem is that if he just loses the black vote 80-20 and the hispanic vote by between 10 and 15 points he probably just outright loses the nomination.

Soooooo
