Joe-Mentum: Biden’s Super Tuesday Performance Fueled By Southern States – Day That Was | MSNBC

    1. If the youth vote will not get out for the primaries, what makes you think they get out for the general election?

  1. Yay, Hillary 2.0 on his way to the geriatric presidential dementia debates…
    Well, at least the millionaires or the corporations won’t get taxed, yay for them…

    1. @J Washburn Yes, but why does the low and medium income people always have to pay? 83% of Trumps taxcuts went to corporations and the richest. But now when the deficit have to be taken care of, it’s social services getting cut. Trump said so, Biden said so….

    2. Tabacish because the richest 1% pay the most . They should get a break. 49% of the country doesn’t even pay taxes, sooooo what’s the problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

    3. @J Washburn Even the billionaires say they should be taxed more, besides, the richest three persons hold more wealth than half the country, you feel sorry for them?

  2. Want to know who wins this greed show down? The greedy drug companies, their greedy rich friends, and greedy Trump.

    1. @Ken Tinman attata boy Ken! Teach your already brainwashed grandkids how noble and good it is to be socialist. Tell them to bring their piggy banks next time they come to see you, so you can donate all their cash to the government. May as well get them used to it.

    2. @d. nuzzio > Everytime your house doesn’t fall in on you because of building code enforcement, every time planes dont crash in the sky and fall on your flat head because air traffic controllers prevented that, every time you “and I cringe at the thaught” vote, every time somebody picks up the beer can you tossed out the window of your car onto the road side, and here comes the big one. Every sicial security check you get “if you make it that far” you are taking part in socialism.
      So by your logic all that stuff makes you a dirty socialist.

    3. @James Hicks If I was HOMOSEXUAL I’d vote blue obviously 💙🌈

    1. Voters voted. Voters like me. We voted for Biden. It’s not rigged and no one told me how to vote

  3. Bernie is a good man, with good ideas. But major change is often a marathon, not a sprint. Bernie’s influence is moving the Overton window (look it up) more to the left. Little by little, it is happening, and will happen. Don’t give up… if Biden does end up the nominee, at least we stand more chance of pushing further change with a Democrat in the White House, however establishment he may be, than we ever will with the GOP. Trump has done such colossal damage in this past three years, and I truly fear this country won’t survive another four years of that man. We have got to vote him out, even if it ends up not through the person we hoped for. Saving this country is paramount. Bernie still has a shot; but even if it doesn’t work out, please don’t help Trump continue to destroy this country. Think about the bigger picture, that’s all I’m saying.

    1. @Manuel Rendon I’m afraid you can blame countries that have allowed situations to get so lethal that people are fleeing in fear of their lives; as a Latino person, you should know this better than I do. As for blaming a law, yes, it is executive order-happy Trump’s fault if he fails to try to do something to stop this, instead of encouraging it. It’s worse than appalling, it’s downright indecent. Trump has done little but benefit himself and his cronies at the expense of the people, the environment, and our standing in the world.
      I’m truly sorry if you don’t see that, but it is what it is.

    2. @Manuel Rendon unfortunately, that’s easy: Trump is playing to a rabid base of fearful people who are letting unfounded fears drive them to racism and nationalism. For them, punishing these people means more to them than trying to help figure out ways of solving the problems that drove them here in the first place. These people have had problems with losing good jobs that were outsourced to other countries, to being afraid of people who are different from them, of not knowing what to do with their anxieties and frustrations, except to put the blame on people of color who are in the same (or worse) circumstances. And people like Trump know just how to use these fears and ignorance (not stupidity, that’s different) to their advantage, which is reprehensible. And let’s not forget that Trump shows all the symptoms of malignant narcissism. I invite you to google that term. But everything Trump does is to benefit himself, and his ego. He stirs up his followers’ fears, because he knows he’ll get adulation in return. It’s appalling. Not to mention that he was raised by a racist father; and he himself has behaved abominably toward people of color all his life. So, this explains why he has failed to do anything about the separation of these families. How any woman, person of color or person of faith can support him is way beyond me.

    3. @Jemoreno Guardian Angel I’m very sorry to hear that. I’m sorry you don’t get that you are sabotaging your own futures, and everyone else’s too, potentially. Major change is a marathon, not a sprint. It sometimes takes generations to bring it about.

      The Republicans knew this. They have been slowly working for over forty years to this end. Look up The Southern Strategy. You’ll see. It’s a long game, with losses as well as wins involved. They have been slowly working from within the party to change the way people think. And it’s been working.

      If we could use a similar strategy, but based on positive principles, we could transform the Democratic Party… and the way those outside view its core beliefs. But, as with the Republican Southern Strategy, it’s going to take time. It won’t happen overnight. It never does. You take the wins, learn from the losses, and keep working from within to make the changes you want to see.

      Do you honestly think that a protest Trump vote is going to get you any of the changes you wish to see? I promise you… it won’t. It obviously didn’t work last time, did it? So… if Bernie doesn’t get the nomination again, you’re just going to “take your ball and go home”? That’s what quitters do.

      Politics is a dirty game, and every successful politician has learned the skills to play it well, even the ones we like. But this is nothing new; it’s been this way for many centuries. The key to making positive changes is not to give up, choose in anger, and throw in the towel on the party. One of the keys is to work from the inside out.

      Even Bernie knows this. He has been instrumental in getting the Overton window (google the term) to move more to the left. In the end, he endorsed Hillary last time, because he understands that the change has to start from within. If Biden gets the nom, we have a golden opportunity to continue Bernie’s influence, keeping the pressure on Biden, and continuing to nudge that Overton window. It’s the long game that matters.

      Bernie still has a shot. But if not, we owe it to him to keep up his good work. And we cannot do that without Democratic control. Please try to think logically, analytically, strategically… and not emotionally. It’s hard, I know. But it’s crucial to the long-term success of our ideals.

    1. James Carville helped Bill Clinton win two elections with huge victories in the south and midwest. The south and midwest will not let Bernie Sanders win a presidential election. Free stuff doesn’t pass the smell test with people over 35.

  4. It ain’t over yet. How do they go from all the polls showing Sanders ahead to this? As REO Speedwagon sang …”I don’t believe it….not for a minute…”

  5. You people have no idea what the average American is going through, they want change because they’ve been screwed over so much by the past couple administrations. I guess it’s going to be trump 2020
