Bernie is not real to them. Buttigieg or Biden or Klob(lol) are the real candidates, Bernie is just this weird sideshow that will never happen. The most important thing to talk about is how the other candidates are doing.

Christie is a horrible person but I think he understands democrats better than most other chuds.

Christie seems more human in the angry petty way than the usual sociopathy chuds tend to have now, without Donald Trump's dementia brain.

The thing is though was that she was actually succeeding pretty well in that role and even polling ahead of Bernie early on, but then she flipped on M4A and suddenly veered into the centrist lane. If she had just stayed the course of pushing progressive policy - even if she was lying her rear end off while doing so - she'd be way more viable right now imo.

She fell for the “OMG Democrats are so far left now” nonsense and then tried to pickup votes that were always gonna go to Trump.

I can see what you mean. It comes down to whether or not the big media entities who are able to shape these narratives are getting their marching orders from the same place, or if they're all operating in a self-interested way that comes from ownership that is anti-Bernie, but focused on a different centrist candidate that they believe would favor them

I think it's moot. I really think Bernie is going to end up first or second in every state and crush the competition while they split the centrist vote.

exactly, it ends up being a huge advantage for Bernie, if only because they still have yet to unite behind a single succdem, it allows Bernie to carry the standard of progressivism unopposed

it rules.

Previously the DNC would just coronate a single candidate like Hillary so it would always work well. There's a reason Biden didn't run last time. He was told not to and he listened like a good dog. DNC got beaten so bad they're not in control to keep everyone from running anymore which is good for a single progressive candidate getting their 30% of vote which is now enough to win states.

Didn't Christie get his stomach stapled? This is not meant in any way to be body shaming, but how the gently caress does he even maintain after that procedure? People I know who have had it done say it's hell and they can't get anything down

They've had some effect but it's always kind of hard to tell what kind except in really obvious cases like Harris.

(Also I don't think I'd ever point to the debates as to why 2016 went the way it did since the Hillary campaign is right there)

I’m also curious about a similar sentiment I keep reading in D&D about x or y candidate not being able to take on trump. I’ve read multiple times “warren would crumble under trump!” Debates don’t seem to matter because trump shat himself in all the Hilary debates and still won. And like, even if the dem nominee gets slaughtered in debates for whatever reason, I can’t imagine too many democrats deciding it’s suddenly time to switch sides?

Genuinely curious. Not trying to spout nothing matterism or arguing in bad faith. It just seems like, in this particular time and place, the ability to debate and take harassment by trump seems low on the priority list.
