You cannot be the candidate of healthcare for all when you have surrogates who blatantly and repeatedly deny foundations of modern medicine and you cannot be the candidate of the environment when you are anti-nuclear.

WampaLord posted:Yup, it's 100% fine with me. Bernie is the compromise candidate, no candidate is literally perfect. Are you somehow claiming that Joe Biden is a better healthcare/environment candidate than Bernie? Yes, because Biden will build on the ACA. Sanders is siding with Marianne is against animal testing which is obviously needed for vaccine trials. I also believe nuclear power needs to be a part of fighting climate change along with more government support for renewable energy.

I think you all are over-estimating how well Bernie sounds when he talks and also are too terminally online to notice that the vast majority of the time Biden is very articulate, much more aware of his surroundings, and able to react to what is going on around him compared to Bernie saying the same rehearsed thing over and over again. Biden will do fine and Bernie wasn't as good as you imagined. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Anybody who thinks that Sanders would beat Trump would be in for a very, very rude awakening when the media hands the keys over to Trump and pivots non-stop to talking about Sanders drooling all over himself at every given opportunity, the rape stories, believing cancer is caused by lack of orgasms, the only accomplishments being post offices, the one civil rights march he did decades ago, his supporters DMing rape and death threats at Warren, the anti-vax and anti-vax testing on animals, etc.

Based on the dates of the poll, it was before South Carolina. We don't know how many of those polled there ended up switching already to Biden or Bernie on Super Tuesday and also the polls after South Carolina. That percentage could go either way.

Gyges posted:The only explanation that works, this side of mind control, is that voters were convinced that Biden is the best positioned to win against Donny. Nothing else makes any sense, especially since every single exit polls shows Bernie's ideas winning by huge percentages while Bernie remains the most popular politician in the country. Bernie did not come off as more charismatic than Biden to a lot of people. People also felt that Bernie blew off concerns about a transition to M4A. A public option first makes sense to a lot of people. Even people who love the ACA know that there was a rough initial transition period. Also Bernie is not the most popular politician in the country, and is only 5% ahead of Biden.

No he didn't since he is disingenuous about the costs. It's also unrealistic that doctors will take significant pay cuts. The bill doesn't pay for everything. https://khn.org/news/bernie-sanders-embraces-a-new-study-that-lowers-medicare-for-alls-price-tag-but-skepticism-abounds/
