I mean to be fair they 100% are and are stupid bullshit BUT it's also literally how this has been done for tons of elections so everyone knew what it was and I never heard these clowns complaining when they were sure Warren/Pete were gonna win.

Just don't forget we're also going to suck that bad, relative to the younger generation, when we're that old, and to shut the gently caress up and do whatever they're doing at that time

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

worried that Warren is going to over-perform tonight then stick around splitting the progressive vote, was very much hoping she'd flame out and clear the lane

From a strategic standpoint Sanders and Warren coming out as the leading candidates in this race is the best outcome, because it will represent a realignment of the electorate and will force the moderates to move left.

Ultimately who is President matters less than where the center of gravity of the party lands, if the moderates have to move to Warren in order to counter Bernie that weakens the moderates and conservatives in the party. It also sends the message to those who have sympathies that lay further to the left but are afraid that don't have the support with the masses that it's safe to move to the left.

It's just like in 08 where black voters supported Clinton until it became clear that the electorate would indeed vote for a black man.

My preference is for the race to come down to Sanders vs Warren and the "centrists" and "moderates" shut out. Because that shifts the whole loving party.

Biden has high national polling because he is the best known name in the field. Remember the polls in the GOP Primaries last election? They mean little until you have the field narrowed down and some primaries done, IE Super Tuesday.

Yeah, really important to remember that most people don't actually pay any real attention to politics at all, and - if anyone - they'd know Biden from the Obama times and say "yeah, he's good" when asked.

VP Biden also kinda had a narrative built around him as jolly old uncle Joe, so it's not just a name people recognize, it's also a persona people built up in their heads that runs counter to who Biden really is. There's a reason why every time he actually opens his mouth on the campaign trail he only hurts himself.

The number of "Joe Biden tells voter to go gently caress themselves" stories there have been so far is kind of staggering honestly.
