Biden is ahead, fair and square, because voters think he's more electable, despite liking Bernie's policies more.

Yes, of course the establishment and the corporate media were all in for Biden. And yes, obviously that makes a difference. But that's not cheating, that's just the way it is, when you take on powerful corporate interests like Bernie does, then you get a lot of push-back. That's just reality. I'm still glad that people like Bernie are willing to take on those interests, even though it's an uphill fight and it would be easier to fall in line with the establishment and corporate interests.

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

Meanwhile Bernie can miss even more important votes by singing kumbyah with a pack ... marble falls Mar 2020 #28

Bush and Republicans put us in Iraq. Quit blaming the Dems. Republicans own it. LizBeth Mar 2020 #3

Does anybody even care any more? Nobody is paying attention to Bernie The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #13

About the Iraq War? A lot of people do, yeah. DanTex Mar 2020 #16

Nobody cares about Bernie and the bros any more The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #17

Some people still care about the Iraq War. In Iraq especially. DanTex Mar 2020 #24

Everybody acknowledges the Iraq war was a colossal disaster. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #30

I don't know why you keep saying "nobody" cares. DanTex Mar 2020 #34

It sure did, Sir. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #54

Yeah, the Iraqus have been blaming Biden for the Iraq war for two generations now. beastie boy Mar 2020 #39

Everyone who voted for it shares responsibility, obviously. DanTex Mar 2020 #41

Obviously. So how many times since 1994 have you assigned shared responsibility to anyone but Biden? beastie boy Mar 2020 #46

You mean like Obama did in 2008 running against Clinton? Is that your question? DanTex Mar 2020 #48

No, I don't "mean like", and this is obviously not my question. beastie boy Mar 2020 #53

Yes, that was your question. And Obama most definitely brought up HRC's vote in the 2008 DanTex Mar 2020 #56

So now you are telling me what I mean, despite knowing full well that you are making it up. beastie boy Mar 2020 #58

Getting meta LOL. I think people can decide for themselves whether they care about the DanTex Mar 2020 #60

The people have decided. beastie boy Mar 2020 #67

Well, they almost have. Not quite over yet. DanTex Mar 2020 #69

You are confusing me for someone who worries. beastie boy Mar 2020 #71

Well, then no worries! DanTex Mar 2020 #72

In this case, I am looking forward to you embarrassing yourself again! beastie boy Mar 2020 #73

As long as you talk about Bernie's own history on war in Iraq... ehrnst Mar 2020 #84

About Iraq.... ehrnst Mar 2020 #83

Not as many as some would like to think. George II Mar 2020 #20

True, sadly, people tend to forget or ignore the lessons from history. DanTex Mar 2020 #23

Wailing and gnashing of teeth here in 2020 won't change anything from 2003-2004.... George II Mar 2020 #26

Bernie could have helped Biden prevent the war BidenBacker Mar 2020 #27

LOL. Umm, Biden could have just voted against it like Bernie did. DanTex Mar 2020 #35

Dumb response BidenBacker Mar 2020 #43

LOL. You can write another twenty pages if you want but it won't change the fact that Bernie voted DanTex Mar 2020 #47

And this is why BidenBacker Mar 2020 #49

No, the reason is that voters think Biden is more electable. Exit polls make that clear. DanTex Mar 2020 #50

Hey, pal BidenBacker Mar 2020 #52

Biden voted for IWR, Bernie voted against it. Not complicated. You're the one rationalizing. DanTex Mar 2020 #55

Since you're not much of a reader I'll assume you're into videos instead BidenBacker Mar 2020 #59

Very clever dodge! DanTex Mar 2020 #61

If you supported Hillary, then you know how it is that Sanders' Iraq accusations R B Garr Mar 2020 #25

How is that? The Iraq War was a serious error, possibly the worst policy decision in DanTex Mar 2020 #32

I was talking about using "Iraq" as a wedge issue. You supported Hillary, so R B Garr Mar 2020 #36

Sanders has been playing the Iraq war card for five years NCProgressive Mar 2020 #14

Haven't seen a face like that since my last copy of "MAD" magazine, but Alfred made Atticus Mar 2020 #19

Seriously, this has gone on long enough Docreed2003 Mar 2020 #29

Has Sanders been confronted with this? Akakoji Mar 2020 #33

She would have left him long ago if she wasn't like him. Hortensis Mar 2020 #45

Some context.. Matt Orfalea really likes to use the word "retarded" - he even defends it. Cha Mar 2020 #74

When can we consider Sanders not a Democrat and not afforded the protections here at DU? dem4decades Mar 2020 #77

As if anyone believes a Democrat would start a war, invade another country for no good reason. betsuni Mar 2020 #80

So much for not going negative... ehrnst Mar 2020 #82
