The debate will be canceled due to "fears" of a new virus outbreak and protecting the candidate. In related news VP nominee Clinton announces if the Dems take the WH new talks with China will be arranged for a prosperous future (for China). Nah, they'll argue with Trump over who will run the debate/format of the debate, then blame the Bad Orange Man as they walk away from negotiations after he refuses an unreasonable demand.

ComradeKayAdams Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 My post-mortem analysis of the Bernie campaign: 1. The entire campaign strategy was too heavily dependent on other major candidates not dropping out before Super Tuesday. You can’t coast on 30-35% pluralities in a largely one-on-one race; you also need a coherent plan to break into 50%+ majorities. 2. At a certain point, it became obvious that the primary was about beating Trump and not about public policy. Bernie didn’t adapt quick enough to this emerging truth. He doubled down by repeatedly calling Joe Biden a nice, likeable, uncorrupt guy who could beat Trump. Great strategy, Bernie… 3. Too many Democrat establishment hires in Bernie’s campaign from prior Obama and Clinton campaign teams. Some would call them incompetent and out of touch. I call them campaign saboteurs. 4. He never properly defined socialism and where he stands in relation to that term and to capitalism. 5. Didn’t support what should have been obvious political allies and completely failed to build a single unified progressive left coalition. The first warning sign for me was the Zephyr Teachout incident. I ignored it at the time, but what an omen! Bernie also didn’t aggressively mend relations with Warren before Super Tuesday. Oops. Tulsi Gabbard would have been an amazing attack dog for VP on a very competitive Dem ticket, but she was more or less spurned. 6. Didn’t try hard enough to extend base of support with Boomers, African Americans, and suburban moms. 7. Didn’t help enough college students and working-class Americans navigate voting hurdles during the primary. Sending Liz Warren a few mean snake emojis online is neat, but you know what’s better? Actually going out into the real world and voting! 8. PC nonsense and ideological purity tests. The death knell of the progressive left. The rest of the country won’t ever begin to take us seriously as a political force until this stops. In retrospect, Bernie Sanders was never that committed to winning. Too much political theater and not nearly enough political results. Too bad the Bernie Bro cult is largely incapable of questioning their dear leader. As a Sanders Sis, it hurts me to see most of them continue to believe that Biden can be pushed left and that the Democrats are a viable home for progressives. Kamala Harris for VP is my prediction, which says it all: 4 more years of neoliberalism. Gross. R.I.P. Bernie 2020. 2
Nanker Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Bernie is an attention w ***** e. He ran to enrich himself with campaign contributions from weak minded naive joiners. His media buys were controlled by the company his wife started and they get at least 10% on the top of every media buy they placed for him. His campaign made him more millions than his book deals did. He’s a phony. 1 1

Some would call them incompetent and out of touch. This pretty well encapsulates the issue with Dems right now: poor campaigning. These people didn't tank Bernie's campaign out of spite, they tanked it because they're entirely out of touch, fake, and gay. Here's a decent example: McDonald's. Trump unironically eats and enjoys McDonald's and other foods associated with poors and working class schmoes. Naturally, his trips to and orders from McDonald's were lampooned by the media because "haha stupid orange man." Now, on advice of his campaign team, Biden is pretending to like foods associated with poors and working class schmoes. Everything Democrats do is reactive and inorganic: fake like the women and gay men that run their campaigns. 1

As you touched upon in #7, he seemed to overly-rely on motivating a youth base that did not (and never was going to) turn out to vote. Makes me wonder if that flawed strategy was related to #3.
