It's insulting to these voters to suggest they are being coerced.


?s=20

The Democratic "establishment" is not delivering wins for Biden tonight -- Democratic voters are doing it. Blacks, Latinos, suburban women, college educated and working class. It's insulting to these voters to suggest they are being coerced.

No "Democratic Establishment" told her how to vote. She just reads a lot, and talks with me.

who, among the non-Sanders delegates, looks viable. South Carolina showed them that Biden, who had been leading national polls earlier before slipping, has regained his lead as consensus candidate.

Because almost all the votes were mail-ins sent before this weekend.

18. Makes sense on Colorado and mail-in vote.

Someone on DU posted that large numbers of people in Texas and California were delaying their vote. There was an account here in DU that lines in precincts that should go heavy Biden were very long, sort of like the 2008 General here in Florida.

Warren, the establishment, Pete, Amy, voters, black people in the South, etc.

Can't possibly blame their candidate or his strategy.

Just for fun, I peeked in at the JPR nuthouse. They are sad about how stupid voters are. It goes without saying that they assume everything is rigged. They think Biden cannot possibly win the election against Trump in flyover states because the Democratic Party "now belongs exclusively to black voters" and will "write off white voters everywhere." "Identity politics is about to be carried to ridiculous extremes" and "'Progressive' is about to be redefined as whatever black party leaders decide it is."

Unfortunately I was not firmly Biden, so I only got a few bucks. He said that he would be back with more money before March 17.
