Dems have lost the white vote in the Presidential election since 1964. If they can pick off enough then fine but now it's about exciting the base and the base of the party isn't really white moderates anymore, they're minorities. Getting the black and Hispanic vote out can help not only in the Presidential election but also at the down ballot, especially in the south and midwest. Turnout in certain cities like Atlanta, Milwaukee, Detroit, Miami, etc can change the electoral map. The reason why Democrats don't win in a state like Texas is because Texas is largely a nonvoting state.

lol I swear progressives have more excuses for why they lose than they do serious policy proposals

it's a democracy and you're out numbered. the internet isn't real life. this isn't rocket science.
lol centrists will cry about some obscure meme on facebook posted by a Russian troll is rigging the entire election. Then look the other way as Bernie gets compared to Hitler on MSNBC for winning Nevada. They trot out insane hacks like James Carville to say Putin is rigging it for Bernie. Noooo, noooooo that has no effect on how their viewers vote.

Also lmaaoooo at flexing about a democracy where such a low % of the population votes. Even you'd agree Bernie would win if people under 55 voted at the same rate as 65+, the hack cable news demo. You're not the majority. You right wingers have always relied on low turnout/voter suppression.

Russia literally does fund and support extremist political groups in the west so I'm not sure what you're complaining about.

And one thing I love about Biden is that he never made excuses. Before SC his campaign was broke and the entire media was declaring his campaign dead but he never cried about it like progressives do. It's more a collective tantrum than a political movement.

I'm saying all your side does is whine about Russia as the reason they lost. I would say MSNBC has a larger influence on Dem voters than Russia.

Biden has a temper tantrum whenever met with any opposition or question that isn't fluff. He melts down in Trumpish fashion by telling people to go vote for someone else, saying he has a higher IQ than them, challenges them to push ups. It's one of many reasons why they hide him.

Yeah that's true to an extent. But outside of the supercities it's an open question how successful progressive candidates can be. I think people are underrating how liberal the district is but I still think cori bush will be interesting to watch for that reason.

No he wouldn't. If literally everyone in America voted Bernie still wouldn't win. Yes he would obviously get more votes, but you seem to think that everyone under 55 would vote for him. That isn't the case at all. His biggest supporters are teenagers and 20 somethings. Older Millenials are liberals, not progressives for the most part. While he would get more votes if anything Bernie would lose by an even wider margin.

I'm well aware that I'm responding to a troll account but there were several states where Bernie was winning the age group of 50-59 even when he was getting crushed. It's literately the senile retirement homes that ruled the primary. Bernie gets like 80% of the 45 and under.

In a field still split many ways. If you want to play that game, Biden got less than 10% of the under 45 vote in many super tuesday states.

Yeah but Bidens lane was clearly more crowded (something you can see in the results, since Bloomberg ate into Bidens old person vote). Might also explain why Biden got more of the youth vote than Bernie got of the old vote

Biden got less than 10% of the under 45 vote on this day. And that's with the momentum of basically the entire field dropping out to endorse him. Which is more in line with what his current enthusiasm levels are with this age group.

Warren ate into Bernie more. The entire race they were each other's 2nd choice until the very end. Had Warren dropped to endorse the last progressive in the race, Bernie would've ended this on that tuesday and Warren would be VP.

We have to include people in their mid 40s in the youth vote just so Biden can start to scratch 10% lol

Which I said nothing about. Nationally 1 on 1 the split is about 80/20 mirrored on 45. According to Monday's MSNBC chart I can probably fetch.Heading into the primary.

Biden did 17 percent in the 18-29 demo, which is better than Bernie did with over 65s. You're the one who keeps falsely claiming Bernie did better with older voters than he did by saying 80 percent of under 45s like him.

You're really arguing in bad faith

Why would she NOT want to target new, moderate voters? The democratic base is already voting Democrat, you need to expand your voter pool and not just leave some randos in the center up to chance.

So hopefully you can understand why it confused me that you went from talking about state primary results to some rando pre primary national poll

Spooking posted...

They won't bother coming out to vote, so why bother catering to them?

Ever stop to think that maybe we're not voting Democrat because the Democrats offer us nothing? We DID vote for Obama because he appealed to us. But "moderates"? Moderates are just closeted conservatives. Even 52% of white women voted for Trump. Pandering to WHITE moderates is just a losing battle.

Besides, a lot of us who aren't voting for Biden are still voting Democrat downballot.

By calling out the DNC on their bad decisions that are helping Trump?

Joe Biden is right and AOC is wrong with respect to which strategy is better to win the presidency

You're in for a rude awakening come November.

.....Or the next time Biden speaks without a script.

They must have crazy ambitions of winning this election or something

By seemingly going out of their way to help Trump win by repeating all the mistakes of 2012 but with an even worse candidate?

NinjaWarrior455 posted...
I think the importance of swing voters has been severely overstated when the last president won by engaging people that typically don't vote in the first place.

Oh definitely.

"Moderates" are a non-factor.

Obama won because he energized the left more than McCain and Romney energized the right.

Trump won because he energized the right more than Hillary and Biden energized the left.

It's not about "moderates". It's about your own fucking base.

As long as Democrats keep letting Republicans pull them right and call the actual leftists who aren't moving "radical", they're going to keep on losing. Until we finally end those fuckers after they screw over AOC the same way they did Bernie.
