And that number is with the most populus and far-left state in the country voting yesterday.

 

Thanks for proving my point 

 Almost half your party wants full blown socialism and the other half is buying the first half drinks and flirting almost every night. Yeah. I made your point.?

8% difference in favor of the moderates while counting the most populated state in the Union,  considered by far the most far-left state?

 

Yes, you did.

I'll repeat what I said to you before.

 

Biden is more mentally fit than Trump.

 

 

Honest question:

 

You're over here chatting with everyone all the time.  The narrative has very clearly been that the Democratic party has shifted so far to the left, will inevitably elect Sanders the Socialist, ensuring Trump gets into office.  In the span of 24 hours that narrative has been pretty much flipped on its head with moderate Democratic voters across the country getting out to vote... outnumbering those "nutty Socialists."

 

Can you yet acknowledge that it's looking more and more possible that the thing that will primarily get voters out in November is to vote against Trump and the more moderate the candidate (Biden) the more Independents will be in that camp?

LBSBLBGB gave a good response to your post, below.

 

i don't know that the narrative here has been that the Dem party has shifted so far left that it will inevitably elect Sanders. i think it more a case of a perception that any sane individual understands that sane people would not elect an individual that clearly has the cognitive issues that ol' Joe has. as such, yes the presumption may be more slanted towards the understanding that Sanders would then be the logical nominee.

 

i also think that the Democrat Party is clearly split. again, see LBSBLBGB's post below that you dismissed out of hand without taking into account the broader implications in play here.

At the time of the article.

 

11.5M total votes yesterday if you toss Tulsi's 84K. (All figures rounded) 

 

Biden 4.5M

Bernie 3.67M

Warren 1.63M

Mini Mike 1.7M

 

That's roughly 54% moderate, 46% socialist.

 

Yeah. The Dem party is pretty far left. A moderate Dem 20 years ago would not recognize the moderates now.

Thanks for proving my point 

to pick up on the broader implications at play here, since you simply want to dismiss Super Tuesday's results out of hand because it goes against your perceived biases with regard to the DParty being splintered, lets take a look at the overall delegate count.

 

NYT Article

 

the delegate count at this moment is 45% Biden and 39% Sanders. if we add Bloomberg's total to Biden and Warren's to Sanders (because of the ideologies), the total then becomes 52% Biden and 46% Sanders. i may be off here but to me, it appears that that is very symptomatic of split ideologies.

 

to your last question, i don't think it matters what the reason Dem voters come out in November is. you are not going to have enough to oust Trump, you just aren't. historical norms even say that with conditions on the ground, you won't be able to do it. as the saying goes... it's the economy, stupid. add in the fact that you have factions within your party that have clearly stated that they will not vote for the other candidate, no matter what and you now have a serious problem in addition to the other factors against you. a party splintered is going to have an extremely hard time winning anything.

 

if evidence emerges that shows the DNC/Establishment has again stolen the nomination from Bern, the Bros are not going to be as accepting as they were in '16. youse guys are in trouble no matter which angle you look at it from.

Whoa dude, you recently checked out of the local psych ward? That is the only way anyone could possibly say Biden is more mentally fit than... well, anyone or anything.

The man is clearly mentally deficient. Whether it is dementia, strokes, or something else, there is something very wrong with Joey-B. It is elder abuse to parade him out on  the campaign trail.

Sooooo where are these vast numbers of Democrats who have clearly stated they won't vote for the other candidate?  I see you guys posting these individual tweets from people who say these things as though they're evidence of some larger movement.

 

Anecdotal evidence is not evidence of a larger movement... 

 

So, where is your evidence that a majority of or even very large faction of Sanders supporters wouldn't vote for Biden?

 

Historical norms are out the window as of 2016.  You guys over here have acknowledged that yourselves.

 

We'll find out in November.  

 

I just think you guys consistently and seriously have been misreading the pulse of the nation for the last God knows how many years since most of you here were also anti-Obama.

 

Just make sure you've braced yourself for "Sleepy Joe" at the helm for 4 years.

 

Don't worry, I've braced myself for the alternative.

if, by some miracle, Joe gets elected, i predict he won't be Prez for longer than a year. he will either step down and relinquish his position to the VP (he is even on tape stating such) or they will invoke the 25 amendment. he is only being run to preserve the globalists agenda so that Trump doesn't totally obliterate it.

 

as far as evidence that voters won't cross their ideology to vote for the other candidate, i'm not going to go out and find all the references. there are many clips of pundits on your networks who have been arguing this point. we will just have to argue this point, watch for more evidence to come to light and wait and see what really happens.

Not incorrect and this isn't just limited to that thread and our bet.

 

This isn't about that thread or that bet, which is about the winner of the election in November. 

It’s actually very correct.

 

You can read the thread for yourself and see — or keep quoting something from last week which I have already copped to.

Yeah. The Dem party is pretty far left. A moderate Dem 20 years ago would not recognize the moderates now.

I’m case in point. 90% of my views were, as recently as late 2015, pretty center left. Today they’re somehow “alt right” even though those positions did not change:

 

* Ending mass surveillance/curbing the abuses

* Ending regime change as a foreign policy aim 

* Protecting individual civil liberties and civil rights 

 

Funny how that works.

You're underestimating how influential anti-Trump sentiment can be getting people out to vote.

 

I know people like to point out how it didn't work with Bush, but hatred for Bush paled in comparison to hatred for Trump.

 

 

 

 

This flatly is untrue. It just FEELS that way because you’ve been the victim of a mass propaganda effort on the part of the MSM for the past three years. They didn’t do that to Bush because he was on their team. 
 

Trump isn’t, hence it’s been full bore informational warfare since November 2016. 
 

But here’s the thing. It’s fake. It’s not real. You’re letting PROVEN liars and manipulators create (another) false reality for you. Just like they did with “RUSSIA!”  
 

TDS is real. It’s powerful. But it’s a minority position despite the hype.

i think the real takeaway is that... you guys are so desperate and delusional, you are voting for a man who obviously has dementia. what does that say? are you guys on the cusp of full blown dementia yourselves as well? i think a  case could be made....

 

I see this is the angle people are going to take to attack Biden.  Hilariously people pretend that at 77 he is just soooo much older than Trump.  Trump has so many incoherent rants couldn't you say the same thing?  I googled Trump Dementia and Biden Dementia.  Surprise!  The left wing media claims Trump has it and the right wing media says Biden has it.

 

This is my shocked face.

 

Should have stuck with Creepy Uncle Joe that would be much more effective.  Although grab em by the p*ssy didn't really do anything to Trump so perhaps not...

You work in an industry that is far left and likely surround yourself with only politically like minded friends who all watch the same news outlets and believe the same thing. We see that as well. Most of us here would be disappointed but not shocked if Biden won. I'm pretty sure you and many of your friends would need emotional support animals for a while.

 

Sanders supporter here.  Bernie Bro I guess.  I'm fully expecting a Trump win this year.  There will be an absolute meltdown if the Dem candidate wins on this forum.  People are so absolutely sure Trump has it in the bag they mock any thought that a Dem could win.

As to the bolded the networks have made it clear they back anyone but Bernie.  So yes they are saying people won't cross ideologies but they are wrong.  Maybe not if Bernie wins the nomination but Bernie supporters will support Biden if the process plays out fairly.  If the DNC pulls the screw job then all bets are off.  For the record I don't consider Buttigieg and Klobuchar dropping out to prop up Joe as a screw job just old fashioned party politics.

I just don't understand how the billionaire who was born into money, rubbed elbows with the Clintons for how long, and has a global business is somehow considered an outsider to you.  It just doesn't make sense that you accept him as some saving grace for the country when to me he is just more of the same.  You keep claiming globalists head up this cabal but isn't Trump worldwide?

(Just trimmed for space purposes) 

 

The difference isn’t a number, it’s energy. Trump has 100x the energy Joe does. He can (and does) speak to large crowds for 2 hours, multiple times in a day. Joe can’t hang like that. He gets tired during debates. 
 

Put them on stage together, and the difference will be stark. Joe has no prayer of keeping up with Trump. 
 

As an aside, based on your Bernie Bro comment, you’re in SoCal right? (Forgive me if you’re not or don’t wish to disclose). But if you are, do you REALLY believe Bernie supporters will go with Joe without a major fight? The ones I interact with out here do NOT agree.

He’s not a political insider, a beltway insider, and ran a campaign which threatened the money flow for the globalists in DC and their establishment sacred cows. Running on promises is one thing, lots run w big promises (Take Obama who I voted for) then fall into line once in office and stick with the status quo.
 

Trump not only ran on things which endangered the establishment’s grip on the wheel of power and their pocketbook, but he followed through.

Trumps rants may be incoherent to you but they are just the way he talks. the cognitive connections are there and in no way could even be remotely considered to be on the same level as Biden's disconnections. Joe can't even complete a sentence half the time, barely knows where he is, can't finish a line from the declaration of independence, that one would think a 40 year vet of the establishment would be able to recite in his sleep.

the 25th amendment in relation to Trump was because of the deep state attempt (which is still ongoing) to get him out of office. there is no way it ever would have stood up to scrutiny and that is why it was never truly attempted.

a billionaire businessman is not necessarily in the same fold as corrupt politicians who depend upon the graft of their constituents for their existence and relevance. 

 

does not his nationalistic policies explain this difference to you?
