THREAD

In the 2016 Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton got around 55% of the vote, Bernie got around 45%.

Current polls show approx: Warren 6%, Harris 8%, Klobuchar 1%, Gabbard 0%, Gillibrand 0%. That's a total of 15% of the vote going to women candidates, 85% to the men.
That means there's around 30% of the Democratic base (like 5 million people) who supported Hillary in 2020, are choosing a male candidate to support rather than one of the female candidates. Assuming she had 50/50 support, that is around 2.5 million women, give or take.
The notion in 2016, and even stronger today, is that you must inherently be a sexist if you prefer one of the males to the women. This is often said by women (as you'd imagine) If that's the case, why are there so many women (around 2.5 million)not supporting a woman candidate?

***FOUR*** WOMEN HAVE NOW ACCUSED BIDEN OF UNWANTED CONTACT

Including one who was 19 at the time and was at an event on sexual assault. "Biden rested his hand on her thigh — even as she squirmed in her seat to show her discomfort." - NYT

#Biden should stay out of the race.
If you're jumping in my mentions and defending Biden because you hate Bernie Sanders and think Biden can beat him, please take a moment and consider that FOUR WOMEN have now come forward to accuse a prospective candidate of unwanted touching. PLACE PRINCIPLES OVER POLITICS.
Am I in the twilight zone? Do I really need to explain why an older man (in a position of power) putting his hand on the thigh of a 19-year-old who had just talked about being sexually assaulted is WRONG? Especially when she said she squirmed to get his hand away?

...and he still hasn't even announced. This is how much of a threat Republicans and the far left see for Joe Biden.
Several people around Joe Biden think advisers to Bernie Sanders are at least partly behind the recent campaign against him. axios.com/2020-president…
Biden: “Social norms have begun to change, they’ve shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it. I hear what they’re saying, I understand it, and I’ll be more mindful. That’s my responsibility and I’ll meet it" buzzfeednews.com/article/nidhip…

But is it a pic of him? Because that's messed up.

The yearbook page for Gov. Ralph Northam (D) from his time at Eastern Virginia Medical School features a photo of a man wearing blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit standing side by side
huffingtonpost.com/entry/ralph-no…
Still no word from Gov. Ralph Northam's office.
If Gov. Ralph Northam is taking this time to figure out a resignation plan, it's worth reading what Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who would replace him, has been up to lately

Good morning, people who follow presidential horse race. Some Racist Shit Y’all Need To Stop Doing for the love of God, A List:
1. Pretending like the only place where black candidates can win is South Carolina.
2. Discounting the reach/influence of media outlets primarily aimed at African-Americans and Latinx consumers.

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.
