(17,608 posts)It was not about "us" then. It was about "Waaaah ... the DNC cheated!!!" and "I could never vote for that < insert slur from Bernie campaign's rhetoric >".
If it is different this time, GREAT !!!

George II
(67,782 posts)...on his bus tour, and then campaigned tirelessly until Election Day.
Sanders left the convention in late July (before it even adjourned) and made his first campaign appearance on Labor Day in September, six weeks later.

(67,782 posts)....Sanders vs. Clinton campaign efforts in 2016/2008. Is that not what was being discussed?

George II
(67,782 posts)....he couldn't resist touting his own horn and taking shots at Clinton. For example:

(11,088 posts)It's just confusing to me that folks can't seem to wrap their head around the idea that maybe a candidate lost to the most dangerous demogogue in the history of this country because of things other than a scapegoat.
If Bernie wins the nomination and loses the general election, I will say it was because of things HE did, not what Joe Biden, or Elizabeth Warren did. It would be ridiculous to do otherwise.

(3,855 posts)Sanders did at least 39 events on Clinton's behalf in 2016
Clinton did 12 on Obama's behalf in 2008
We might have very different definitions of tirelessly
Anyway, we don't have to take my word for it
I can't time stamp a video here so people can instead go to 11:09 and hear it from Rachel Maddow

(37,748 posts)As he states, IA is indeed, Bernie's to win. Or lose.
Should he fail to place a commanding first though, I think it could signal the beginning of the end of his campaign.

(32,813 posts)Total delegate take posted yesterday on DU for the first 4 states is Biden 56+, sanders 50+
The following states sweeping across the south is going to pretty much end it for sanders

(3,855 posts)He has raised enough that he won't run out anytime soon.
IA is important, no doubt. But it's also probably a bigger concern for Biden. Biden's is selling himself as the only one who can win against trump. Not only do the polls not support that but if Biden can't win Iowa, people are going to start to wonder why Biden thinks he can win against trump,
When Biden began he was what? Double digits ahead of everybody else?

(3,855 posts)But each candidate does have the right to run and can keep running as long as they have support.
Sanders has a lot of support of everyday people behind him.

(13,072 posts)behind him. Just check the polls. Whose been remaining on top the past few months?

(3,855 posts)Almost 2 million people donate to Sanders. Ends up we can distinguish individual donations from how many people donated. (so don't' do that "random person donated more than once" thing please)
And those poll numbers keep going down for Biden. They can only go up for Sanders.
Didn't mention age or Health. Biden did have a brain aneurism once if you want to discuss health. Ande Biden's new tendency to ramble incoherently. But as it wasn't what I was originally talking about it would be a change of subject. Perhaps start a new thread.
I have no doubt Biden has lots of support. I just don't think it's all from .. lots of people.
