Biden Wins Democratic Primary
Different sources, such as the NY Times, Washington Post, and others, continue to falsely assert that Sanders is not winning even though he is. These sources concoct twisted narratives that have nothing to do with reality. This reminds me of the type of Kafkaesque propaganda and mind control displayed in George Orwell's classic, "1984."

Re: Sanders: 29.3. Biden: 38.8
Something big is happening across the country. We’re going to finish the political revolution we started. We're going to win this election and transform the country, but we can't do it alone. The way we win is person-to-person contact, knocking on doors and making the case for people to get out to vote. Are you in?

That seems to be contrary to the reality....
I'd say you're missing the two most important realities atm:
1) Sanders has failed to turn out the waves of voters he not only promised, but still seems to believe he had in 2016. (That is, after all, why he demanded, and got the DNC to report not 1 but 3 metrics from the Iowa caucus.
2) The center left has, outside of maybe Nevada, destroyed Sanders in the voting. He is only currently still competitive because there were so many candidates splitting the vote.
And yes- we can argue all day about whether Sanders would be much stronger were it not for Warren. Yet, both exit polling and Caucus results do not bear out Sanders getting a majority of Warrens votes. And... it's important to note one group Warren did well with- suburban female voters. If you look at the polling virtually every Dem candidate in a heat to head w Trump won by 10% or so with suburban women. Sanders however- finished even.
Worth noting here- Sanders was down a whopping 30 points in his home state - just a hair over 50% compared to 80% in '16. Also worth noting he lost neighboring Maine and New Hampshire to Biden.
While I haven't sat down and crunched all the numbers yet (and all the numbers from Super Tuesday are not in yet... as of thurs or fri LA County still had nearly 750K votes to count, Yolo around 70K, and I assume similar numbers in at least the larger counties)... but Sanders is somewhere around 1/3 of the democratic vote. Certainly no where near a majority.
Unfortunately it looks like this is Bidens race to loose. Though I will take him over Sanders- who I have zero faith in actually getting anything through congress (nor handling the looming financial crisis) and whose legacy would be handing the Republicans the next 10+ years of the presidency AND congress.

Yes, the youngsters wearing the Che Guevara black berets (except maybe CA) talked about a revolution, but haven't turned out.
Re: Biden Wins Democratic Primary
Hopefully, Biden will be replaced at the Democratic Party convention with someone who can finish a sentence, is not in an advanced and obvious stage of senility, and also not Trump's equal in sexually assaulting women. Biden was used to get rid of Bernie and they succeeded. Obama's role behind the scenes was crucial in Biden's Super Tuesday victory. Without Obama's interference, Sanders probably would have won Super Tuesday.
I don't know who the Democratic Party establishment is going to pick as their new presidential nominee, not with certainty. That said, Kamala Harris is a strong possibility either as the new nominee or the VP. I have even less of an idea who will be the other person on the ticket but they will probably "balance" the ticket with a White male.
...And the Trumpsters will bring up Ukraine as well, which is a legitimate concern of political corruption on the part of the Bidens. Republicans will take all of these devastating weaknesses that Biden sports and hit him over the head, nonstop, everyday, until Trump is re-elected. Biden is Trump's best chance for a 2nd term.

So- you are openly advocating for the evil NC to overturn the will of the American voter and install someone of their choice? Coming from a Bernie Bro this is *such* hypocrisy....
Your other "points' aren't even worth responding to...
Re: Biden Wins Democratic Primary
Again, it's surprising to see so much concern over Democratic affairs from someone who is an admitted Trump shill.
