Lesson of the Night: Democrats Are Craving A Powerful, United Party

The true power of Biden’s campaign for the last few days is UNITY. Democrats don’t want people who are attacking fellow Democrats. We have a CRISIS in the country and we want a united party to fight for us.

Why has the enthusiasm been missing? Because the party innately knows that we need our energy to take our country back.

Biden, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Beto and Clyburn = Unity

That’s the way to win the party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. I think Sanders' increased attacks on Dems the past week or so was a factor.

Perhaps not a big one, but I think he helped drive home the difference between unity and division. The difference couldn't be more stark at the moment, and he repeated the attacks in his speech tonight.

It's always been an odd strategy and the timing here couldn't have been worse for Sanders. He really doesn't have anyone to blame but himself, though his supporters seem to be looking everywhere but their candidate.

for the general election.

There's a heck of a lot more to say about what Trump has done the past three + year and any of the fabricated Ukraine nonsense.

Might as well start grinding Trump down with it soon.

7. Exactly. And this is it. Showing our muscle. We are going on to the GE. It is about us voters baby.

Not any one man. It is all ours, it is all us, it is that "revolution" turn out Sanders was talking. Just got wrong, who.

8. Super Tuesday was a firm repudiation of entryism.

It's okay to be a socialist, but that's not what a majority of Democrats are. Our political system is not constructed to be ideologically-driven. Coalition, not revolution.
