People could have not voted for Biden. But they didnt.
As if this is a possibility in our neocon states. Half these people are brainwashed like UFO into thinking socialism is some sort of devil worshipping evil organized crime unit.

Bernie lost for a number of reason
but you're a fool if you don't think political maneuvering by the democrats
and biden getting hundreds of millions worth of free ads by msnbc/cnn etc (minimal negative) had anything to do with it
the long voting line are objectively voters suppression and objectively hurt young voters the most

and to think that the dems weren't willing to throw the election to stop bernie is laughable

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/politics/democratic-superdelegates.html

it certainly happened with Corbyn

Doubling down on "DNC would rather Trump win than elect Bernie" is a bad look.

Long lines at polling places caused headaches for many minority voters on Super Tuesday in Texas.
A voter at Texas Southern University, a historically black public university in Houston, waited seven hours to cast a ballot in the primary.
Voting rights advocates attributed the lines, in part, to the closure of 750 polling locations in Texas over the past seven years.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/stop-blaming-young-voters-not-turning-out-sanders/608137/
Moderate Democrats seem willing to identify and introduce policies that would allow a moderate (or progressive) Democrat to no longer be at a disadvantage in a general election against a Republican. Some moderate Democrats seem less willing to identify and introduce policies that would no longer give moderate candidates an advantage in primary elections against progressive candidates. Some moderate Democrats seem more than willing to blame the behaviors of young people for their lower voting rates in the primariesand then blame voting policies for Democrats lower voting rates in general elections. Some moderate Democrats seem more than willing to live in this contradiction.

But where is the evidence that young people as a group are so much more cynical, lazy, self-absorbed, and unreliable than older voters as a group such that these behaviors account for the massive age voting gap? Anecdotes are only evidence of the behaviors of particular individuals. Studies disprove the common ageist idea that young people are disinterested in politics. In fact, in 2016, 90 percent of young Americans reported an interest in politics and 80 percent said they intended to vote, but only 43 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 ended up voting.

Simply put, many young people want to participate, care about what is happens in the political arena, and plan to participate. But they find doing so too big of a hassle to actually follow through on their good intentions, wrote John B. Holbein, who co-authored with D. Sunshine Hillygus the new book Making Young Voters: Converting Civic Attitudes into Civic Action.

Simply put, the reason young Americans have been less likely to vote than older voters is the same reason for the better part of American history people of color have been less likely to vote than white people; why women were long less likely to vote than men; why poor people have been less likely to vote than wealthier people; why prisoners have been less likely to vote than non-prisoners. For the better part of American history, Americans have been taught there is something behaviorally wrong with prisoners, with poor people, with women, with people of colorwith young peopleand not with the policies stopping or suppressing their voting. These ageist ideas cover up the ageist policies that make it tougher for young people to vote, just as racist ideas cover up the racist policies that make it tougher for people of color to vote, and just as the intersection of ageist and racist policies make it the toughest for young people of color to vote.

Older Americans are more likely to be registered than those younger Americans who are at the beginning of their voting life. But voter registration rules are often confusingand people under 30 change their address more than twice as often as people over 30, forcing young people to navigate the confusing registration process in state after state. Take my family. Im a Millennial. My parents are Baby Boomers. In the past 20 years, my parents have moved once, from Virginia to retirement in Florida. Excluding two summer internships during college, Ive moved 12 times between five states and the District of Columbia in the past 20 years.

Both Republicans and moderate Democrats share a joint interest in not increasing the voting rates of young people. Republicans lose general elections to Democrats when young people vote in high numbers. Moderate Democrats lose primary elections to progressive Democrats when young people vote in high numbers. As Hill and Grumbach added, Nobody wants to be a victim of the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Ayanna Pressley.
I do not know how serious some moderate Democrats are about the vitality of American democracy. I do not know if they value the vitality of American democracy over the vitality of their political careers.
Sanders is losing to Biden because America is losing young voters, persistently and systemically. Instead of relieving the victim of these ageist voting policies, Americans are blaming the victim with ageist ideas.
Blaming the victim is the American political creed. Its end does not appear near.


Biden won fair and square though guys lol

Because, as we know, Donald "Mexicans are animals" Trump will do so well with Hispanic/Latinx voters.

He doesn't have to. He didn't in 2016. But Hispanic voters are perfectly capable of staying home.

LMAO, well in that case they're more than welcome to stay at home.

Let's have the guy who made hating and ridiculing them a national sport get re-elected, because Biden didn't eArN tHeIr vOtE

Extreme prejudice towards Hispanics has been rampant in this country long before Trump and NEITHER party has ever attempted to change that.

How so? Would you rather eat shit (Trump) or stale bread (Biden)? You have to choose one, because choosing neither (staying home) gets you the shit by default
I'd choose neither. Like are you really OK with being offered the worse shit and choosing?

And even worse, for me it's between shit and slightly stinkier shit.

Yeah, theres no evidence that this hurt Bernie more than Biden. The polling station problems hurt both young voters and black voters. And it sucks that young people are less likely to vote, but it's not directly related to Biden or Bernie winning or losing...

I do think they did some political maneuvering to win a political election, Bernie did too, he just got outmaneuvered. Biden was dead in the water and Bernie failed to capitalize on it.

The problem is just that Bernie can't get more than about 1 in 3 Democrats to vote for him unless the alternative is Clinton.

Although the process is probably not the most fair to Bernie, to be really fair that's not the reason why he lost.

Bernie lost because all Americans are suspicious of any platform call it what you will that's even slightly left of center socioeconomically. Democrats just the same as Republicans look at Bernie and go "omg commie". Some are more scared and irrational, yes, but the sad truth is America doesn't want true change, at least not yet.

The problem is the moderate, at least somewhat sensible Republicans and yes they do exist don't have the same compunction when they look at Trump. They see what a racist, fascist terrorist, bigoted piece-of-shit-and-everything-that's-wrong-with-this-country-enabler that he is and still barely flinch when they cast their vote for him. While bitter Dems are still whining that their favorite candidate didn't get the nom. This is why Trump wins, it's not complicated at all.

Jeez, spoken like a career politician. Young people aren't just "less likely to vote," they are systematically discouraged from doing so. And given that the biggest split between Bernie voters and Biden voters was age, then fucking yes, whose demographic was better able to vote is directly related to who won and who lost.

The big difference in young people's voting decisions and old people is old people have way more free time. "Not enough time" is a big reason cited for not voting by every non-retired age group.

I don't think there's evidence of it being especially bad in latino areas, because of how the demographics are distributed across the state...

Lol why does that sound like a career politician?

I'm just not sure what you guys are trying to argue. Equating the challenges young people face to the problems women and minority have faced is just incorrect, and even if you buy it, black women vote at higher rates than anyone else. Yes there are structural reasons that young people vote at lower rates, but only a small part of that is anyone trying to intentionally rig the system and the article doesn't give any specific examples of those.

So when you use those facts to dissemble and say that Biden didn't win "fair and square" I think you're being dishonest. Though I don't think it's intentional.

Nah I'm not affiliated with any party, either. I voted and gave money to Bernie these past two cycles, too...
