(1,076 posts)If you were counting on a big field of candidates duking it out until deep into the primary season. The more chaos there was, the stronger his chances of getting a plurality of delegates on the way to the convention.
However, as the candidates started dropping out, one by one, the math got ever dicier for the BS campaign to thread the needle of getting the right number of delegates for a "divided" convention in Milwaukee that would benefit him. The bottom fell out when Bloomberg, Buttgieg, Klobuchar and Warren dropped out at long last, and we were in a political Thunderdome with "I don't need those annoying dumb women or minority voters only my over-privileged white male bros" BS vs. the tried-and-true, "we miss the sanity of Obama" Biden.
It was all over, then and there. Anybody with half a brain knew that, one-on-one, Biden was going to cream BS. Because it turns out that "progressives" aren't the base of the Democratic party.
WOMEN AND MINORITIES ARE.
I've been telling the berners about this reality for YEARS now on other forums, but of course I, a mere woman, couldn't know what I was talking about. Nope. Those bros were ever-so-much smarter than little ole me.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
