News Bernie Sanders Drops Out of 2020 Democratic Race for President (1 Viewer)

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont ended his presidential candidacy on Wednesday, concluding a quest that elevated him as a standard-bearer of American liberalism and clearing the way for a general election between the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and President Trump at a time of national crisis.

In a live-streamed speech, Mr. Sanders, eloquent but without his characteristic spark, cast his decision in the broader context of the fight against the coronavirus. “I cannot in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and which would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour,” Mr. Sanders said, adding, “While this campaign is coming to an end, our movement is not.”

Okay, I'm sorry... Actually, no, I'm not. WHAT THE HECK. WHAT ARE YOU AMERICANS SMOKING. Not all Americans, mind you, But for heck's SAKE. You guys are living in a third-world first-world dumpster-fire, and most of you seem to love it, and those that don't either aren't fighting hard enough or are just fighting against too large a tide. That is just sad.

Sadly, a lot of americans seem to accept that the gov't being servants of corporate interests instead of the citizens interests is somehow the only way things can work. Even though many other countries are doing much better quality of life wise, they can't accept that the american way of doing things is not #1.

Well, we have no choice but to put all our eggs in the Biden basket now

I hope his gaffes aren't a sign of things to come... he really needs to get it together

Trump is going to win now. There's nothing that Biden can say to sway over his supporters and "At least he isn't as bad as Trump" isn't going to do anything for them. This is somehow a worse scenario than 2016.

1. Bernie's base is mainly youth. As a country, America is bad at voting but it's worse with younger generations. Voter suppression played a part as well
2. We seem like scenarios where both are options are majorly unfavorable.
3. Honestly we're just dumb
