Wow that superPAC was super helpful and necessary then

[iznanassi]

It was for feminism!

[sweet_heloise]

That superPAC did what it was supposed to. Prevent Bernie from winning ST states.

[fernandocolunga]

Super Tuesday

[iznanassi]

super tuesday!

[analievelyn]

lol I didnt know what it meant either

I don't know what Warren spent, but Bernie spent $18 million on media buys so far in the primary and Biden spent $2 million.

Shows you that it wasn't money that motivated the huge turnout for Biden on SuperTuesday. In fact, if money really mattered, Bloomberg and Steyer would be one and two instead of dropped out of the race.

It's not money that matters, it's name recognition, and Biden has been getting quantifiably more free, positive press than Bernie for months. So of course he has to spend less - the same thing happened with Trump. He spent half as much as Clinton and got billions in free media advertising his dumb ass.

I feel like OP's point was clearly "wow sucks that she compromised her values for no reason" and you're telling on yourself with your need to bring up Bernie when he wasn't mentioned at all.

I'd have to see receipts on that, and does it count the zillions of times Bernie has had the whole hour on Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, Maddow and the rest of the MSNBC gang? Or when Michael Moore is on all the time? Bernie and his surrogates are like members of the staff on MSNBC and they never get any hardball questions.

I literally never see Biden or his surrogates on those shows. Joy Reid spent an entire hour walking Warren through her M4A plan, and when she got ready to talk about Kamala Harris' program the satellite feed went out and she never addressed it at all on that show or on her next.

Bernie and Biden are the two left in the race, of course I'm going to talk about Bernie. And Biden has been well known for the past three decades. He has name recognition. He's not even my candidate so don't bother. I'm just being realistic, something most of the people here aren't.

did I somehow post this in the wrong spot maybeso.gif

Biden had years as VP to get positive press? He was popular enough that fond "Uncle Joe" memes have been a thing since 2014? Are we going to pretend that his eight years as VP with Obama garnered him no positive media coverage or

What part of "Biden has been well known for three decades" did you not understand. I said it's a given. Biden isn't even my candidate. It's a race between him and Bernie now. That's reality
