Berners rejoice: Sanders' support is getting smaller and that's a good thing.

We stand to benefit greatly from ideological-purity - Reddit / Way Of The Bern

Thank you Elizabeth Warren, you're the reason Bernie's base is now majority-minority working class!

If many of you have noticed that your wealthier often whiter friends who supported Bernie in the 2016 primary now vehemetly support Warren, this is not an isolated phenomena. Warren's base is 70% white and consists largely of professional-class gentrifiers who hold a strong presence in the DNC establishment. Have no fear, Bernie's base is over an order of magnitude greater than this time in the '16 primary and consists of a diverse working class coalition not seen in US politics since the Great Depression. Warren's candidacy has hence functioned as an effective purge of petit-bourgeois "progressives" who have no place in Bernie's support base anyways! We're on average more left because of this shift, and stand to benefit greatly from the ideological purity that it affords. So thank you Elizabeth Warren, for ridding us of the liberals bottle-necking our new party's radical agenda!

There's nothing like a purge.

2. What???

So, Elizabeth Warren attracting former Bernie supporters is a good thing, all in the name of purity???

Looking at recent polls, that's some twisted logic.

4. It is not good news for Bernie to lose votes to Warren

But to be fair , It is not good news for Elizabeth to be doing so poorly amongst people of color …..Biden has a 53% - 37% lead over Warren in a head to head matchup …..( Source : Fox News )

10. "To be fair..." whatabout Elizabeth Warren??? Foxnews says she doing poorly with people of color!!

Look over there!!!

5. How many actual people are we talking about here? Percentages always seem to be used but....

...they can be misused.

50% of 100,000 people are 50,000, whereas 70% of only 10,000 people is a mere 7,000.

11. This has always bothered me too.

For instance, the Latinex voting block is bigger than the AA one, and there are more under 45 than over 45.
And then, its all a question of who turns out to vote.

[Hortensis]

22. :) I vote you a gold sticker for mentioning Latinx.

Seldom think to. Biden and Sanders reportedly lead, but Latinx average relatively conservative as a demo, so no big surprise. 73% said in a poll of registered voters this month that they intend to vote Democratic, though. Fewer voted in the past than didn't, though. 32 million potential votes if they finally decide to make their power felt.

20. I know a secret. I know a secret.

Guess who's been frozen out of the gang today for good! And the best thing is, to stay in the gang, nobody can tell her why. Soooo dirty!

If only there was a way he could get people to know him.....

8. hahahahahahahahaha

My bank account had $1000 before .. now I only have $350. This is fantastic since I'll be evicted and won't have to pay rent ever again.

[George II]

12. Another positive note: think how much less time you'll have to waste counting $350 vs. $1000!

21. Cha, it's a passive-agressive boast by them.

Sort of like someone saying "my pants are on fire and my skin is melting, but it's all ok because I needed a new pair of pants".
