    Young people didn't turn out to vote for Bernie, so that's not the solution either.

    No they didn't. The DNC can encourage it by maybe by having elections on weekends.

    Dude.....go to https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/

    You should read some of the threads.

    I know they have been deleting some of them, but there are alot of them.

    Literally every state result has the primary results divided by age group. Most clearly turned out to vote for Bernie, but just not enough of them sadly.

    Bernie resoundingly won ages below 45, the seniors are just gonna have their way as usual I guess.

    Why would they delete them? I thought they embraced racists?

    I always trust random Reddit comments they are always in good faith and things like bad faith brigading never happen. It's a great way to judge a group of supporters of a candidate.

    LOL. Yeah, it is just "Trolls". No..there is a large segment that believes because Bernie has a "black" problem, those voters are not qualified to vote.

    Bernie *won* young voters, but they didn't turn out in high numbers. All the places where turnout was high were places Biden dominated. Biden expanded the electorate - in particular, with suburban voters that carried Democrats to victory in 2018. Bernie's base didn't show up.

    They got time on their hands(earned obviously as a lifetime of work deserves retirement). That's the main difference.

    Because if you are trying to "court" a segment of the electorate, supporters attacking that segment is not very helpful.

    Also worth noting - California largely votes by mail, and ballots just have to be mailed today. Late-deciders across the country are going with Biden, meaning the ballots that arrive in coming days are likely to be pro-Biden. Bernie should still win California, but the margin is likely to going to shrink pretty heavily.

    Ya it's probably not a good idea then to label a group of supporters as racists because a Reddit thread has deleted comments from random posters.

    You understand the irony in your statement right?

    Honestly, went over to the reddit and see nothing of the sort.

    You get some comments of people saying they will not vote for Biden and these comments are voted down...some of the posters making these comments have a posting history of being Trumpers.

    So yeah, I'm not buying this one at all. If there was a 'large' segment like you claim they would have been pretty easy to find, no?

    Ya, that's literally what I said.

    And gimme a break, Biden didn't expand sh**. Dude hasn't campaigned in like 5 states. It was an Anti-trump wave combined with about 72 hours of positive free media that was valued at over a $100 million.

    Most Biden voters couldn't name you 5 policies they actually wanted. It's the feeling of nostalgia from the Obama-Biden era coupled with Obama's behind the scenes work that drove Biden to victory. He's basically an old, declining, stand-in for the democratic establishment.

    Good take. Maybe Trump will do a press release with your take as a proof of him doing great (the way he did today with some tweets from some totally unbiased politicians)

    Trump was so sure of this "stomping" that he decided to use his own impeachment as a way to do a political smear on Biden. It was a good strategy too for it makes great use of republican moral duplicity. (ie Trumpers don't see anything wrong with using corrupt ways to expose opponent's supposed corruption.)

    And the vast majority of Biden's support comes merely from "I don't think the other guy can best Trump". That's literally it.

    No one is exited to vote for Biden.

    I do, anybody can vote in a primary and many Republicans are voting for Biden now but he will lose all those counties easily in general. Meanwhile Bernie winning liberal counties which are actual Democrats not Republicans hijackers.

    Did you check the posting history of these random redditors to see they are good faith actors who aren't brigading the subreddit?

    You really want to paint brushes based on rando Reddit comments? Why would they delete these comments you supposedly saw if they condone them?

    Do you want me to paint broad brushes of Moderate candidate supporters based on some posts here on clutch fans?
