What's Bernie's remaining realistic path to the nomination?

This is surely some bizarre form of performance art, right?

For…? :confused:

LOL. Two smears in one sentence. For that to have been true (which I’m sure it isn’t), Yang would have had to accept a cabinet position in exchange for his endorsement.

Yang’s campaign manager has said that’s not true. Zach Graumann:

Will you be saying the same thing about Tulsi? She just dropped out and endorsed Biden for the same reason. . . Biden is the presumptive nominee.

Your creativity is amusing though.

I’m seeing Bernie supporters hating on both Yang and Tulsi for their endorsements. I’m wondering what happens when Bernie drops out and endorses Biden. Will the supporters turn on each other. . .or Bernie? Both? Neither? I’ve seen a few early signs of both.

Aww, so disappointing. Right after I posted my last reply, I coincidentally ran across this post on Reddit in the Presidential Race Memes sub. from a DM.

Andrew Yang is on the Breakfast Club saying Biden said he’d have a cabinet position if he endorsed Biden. Under Title 18, Section 599 of the United States Code, this is illegal and Biden can be punished by up to 2 years in prison. Please spread this message to hold Biden accountable for his actions.

So maybe it’s not so original after all.

The video is an interview with Yang on The Breakfast Club. Yang talks about how Biden had discussed the possibility of Yang being in his administration. The part that’s lacking is that Yang didn’t agree to endorse Biden in exchange.

I’ve also seen Yang say this same thing many months before Yang dropped out of the race, about Biden talking about a place for Yang in the Biden administration. It went something like Biden telling Yang that he had just as much chance of winning as he did. If Yang won, Biden would step aside. If Biden won, he’s be talking to Yang about a position in his administration.

Also, to clarify my question about the Bernie supporters, I was talking about some Bernie supporters, not necessarily all of them.

Not sure that helps with “What’s Bernie’s remaining realistic path to the nomination?”

Biden being AFK and having poor answers to a pandemic is Bernie’s key.

Are you serious?

That cliché has had its run and needs to be retired now. Pete Buttigieg campaigned with his live boy by his side and didn’t do any worse than most.

Thank you.

Bernie’s chances have been over since Super Tuesday. I’d like to see Biden more active though, it’d be a stark contrast to Trump’s behaviour; its a wasted opportunity that Bernie is using (with no/little effect).

Feels like it’s just the opposite:

Yeah, #whereisjoe one of the Twitter hashtags that the Bros have been using.
Too bad that Sanders supporters are much better at snarky tweets than actual votes.

Bernie has lost.

It’s over.

No, Neither are going to make mass public appearances, as such have been banned.

Bernie with another win, this time of overseas voters.

Things are still looking close.

With Biden’s very shaky and rambling recent video appearances and his lack of a coherent policy of ending capital domination of workers, Bernie can really drive this one home.

Lol, “lack of a coherent policy of ending capital domination of workers”. Yeah, you’ve really got your finger on the American pulse. If you think your contributions are making anyone think twice, you are super duper wrong.

If Bernie gets big, big wins in all the remaining states, maybe he can.

But this is exceedingly unlikely to happen. If it does, I’ll cheer very loudly, but I have very little expectation that it will.

Bernie won California with 35%. He won his home state with 50%. For him to win at this point, he needs to win 60%+ of all remaining delegates. Nuff said.

No, they’re not.

For those who don’t like clicking Twitter links, the link I shared is Nate Silver tweeting, "Sanders would need 63% the remaining delegates to claim a majority, which is roughly equivalent to winning the remaining contests by ~25 points.

Biden would need 45% of remaining delegates for a majority, equivalent to losing remaining contests by ~10 points."

When Bernie loses (we’re past “if” at this point), how are you going to handle it? You seem to be pretty invested in a Sanders victory, to the point where you’re willing to avoid reality to keep yourself optimistic. I think anyone who is holding out hope right now for the nomination needs to consider that.

I don’t blame people for supporting Sanders, and early in the race a win was even probable, but at this point only delusion lets a person think that the likelihood of a win is somehow increasing.

Yes, I’m serious. I tend to strongly disagree with Manwich, but I don’t see what was report-worthy in what **Stamos **quoted. Seriously, explain it to me: I have reread it like ten times and I don’t get it. The entire text he quoted from **Manwich **read as follows:

Did it use to say something else? Is there some idiom there (“bare as feeble”?) I’m unfamiliar with, that is beyond the pale? I seriously don’t get it.

Are you kidding? “With Biden out of the picture” and “Hopefully Biden drops out of the race now his policies have been laid bare as feeble” sound like reality based jump offs for discussion?
