“it is urgent we understand why Sanders is a far better choice than Biden in the general election—and that Sanders still has a real shot at winning the nomination. This entire race can swing back to Sanders as fast as it swung to Biden.“

“The coronavirus underscores how fast things change, and why a universal, national health care plan is far superior to maintaining a system of for-profit private insurance that is totally unfit for global pandemics, let alone ordinary health care crises.”
“When thinking about electability, there’s a huge difference between the primary & general. Biden a Dem-Party Bro, which sets him up well for the primary. He’s got the entire Dem Party establishment backing him. But what works in a primary might not be effective in the general”
“Sanders, by contrast, is the perfect mix of outsider and hell-raiser needed for the general election, where, if we look at 2016 in America—and also election patterns across Europe too—outsider status, someone “different than the status quo,” is what’s winning.”
“While the liberal media & pundit class—backed by Wall Street donations & especially the health care industrial complex—are attempting to anoint Biden, Trump will pulverize Biden in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, & Wisconsin in the general election by running to the left of Biden”
“the most effervescent and activist base of the union movement is among America’s teachers, and Biden is deeply implicated in eight years of Arne Duncan, who as secretary of education was anti–teacher union and enthusiastically pro–charter schools and privatization.”
“Sanders excites the hell out of teachers; Biden depresses them. Which is why some of the biggest teachers union locals endorsed Sanders.
This doesn’t mean those people will vote Trump, but it does mean some of them will sit out the election—as we saw in 2016.”

“Obviously, Biden is getting the more conservative Democrats, such as those in South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, and Missouri. But those states don’t matter in Electoral College general election math, since all of them will go red in November.”
“Biden’s debate skills have been poor, better only than Bloomberg’s. We have yet to see a debate between Biden & Sanders, which is urgent & should be bumped up immediately, before the next states vote, so the electorate can assess who stands a better chance debating Trump.”
“Running to “heal America” or “restore morality” isn’t going to work for Joe Biden, because too many contradictions will surface to undermine that: his public comments and/or policy votes about Social Security, Anita Hill, incarcerating black youth, to name a few.”
Some of y’all commenting and didn’t even read the article— which addresses why Biden may be “winning” the primary, but also, most likely to lose in the general 🤡
This thread is making Biden liberals upset, they’re yelling (again, without reading the article): “Biden’s winning the primary!”
Clinton also win the primary— it’s almost as if we’re even talking about th is because she didn’t win the general 🥴🤧
