Lovely night-time entertainment, gentlemen.

So now the "Dems too far left" crowd is resorting to INTERNATIONAL elections to prove that Democrats need to "moderate"? This is getting absurd.

I mean, we also use the 2018 midterms, but nobody seems to listen.

I’ve heard that argument before, but I don’t see the point. More moderate Democrats won their primaries, so? Plenty of progressives won in competitive districts/states as well. People mainly bring up Gillum, who underperformed the more moderate Nelson by a whopping 0.3%. Not exactly an argument that progressive Democrats are doomed to lose like McGovern.

It's more about the dozens of red seats flipped, universally by normie Dems, while the promised "revolution" of progressives (in particular, JusticeDems) resulted in 0 flips.

See, this is where you begin to have a point. That being said, we've also made some flips in lower-level elections (most notably Lee Carter) and gotten a lot of more conservative elements out of office. While Crowley's loss had to do more with his distance from the district (an establishment Democrat who actually lived in Queens would have beaten AOC), and Capuano's loss had to do with a generational passing of the torch. We beat the Costa family in PA. We took Philadelphia's DA position. While these seats may not have as much impact as Congressional seats, the Justice Democrats have proven that they can push the party to the left, and occasionally in swing seats as well.

I also believe Kara Eastman would have won if the DCCC didn't throw a tantrum and take their ball home because Ashford lost. (There's also the fact that the crowd who was so angry about Heath Mello was silent when the DCCC tried to crown a pro-lifer as their Congressional candidate, but that's none of my business). With more support, the seat is definitely flippable, and I would hope they put more effort into flipping this seat if she wins again.

Other than that, most primary losses were because of other flaws. Whitmer was progressive enough on every issue except healthcare (which is more of a national issue than a state issue). Laura Moser wasn't from the district, and Brent Welder had nebulous ties as well. The left failed because of poor candidate quality, or in the case of Abdul El-Sayed, just went up against a better candidate.

Basically, we'll take care of Lipinski and Cuellar. Ideally, we knock off a few more, like Steny Hoyer and Tom Suozzi. Hopefully Ted Terry catches fire too, but I highly doubt it. Either way, I'm sure your wing of the party will do their jobs. I think your fears about the JDs are a bit overblown.

He really is trying his damndest to burn away my past goodwill, isn't he?

F**K PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL DEBT

Welcome to GeneralMacArthur News, the channel for Biden supporters

Don't like people complaining about Medical Debt, GeneralMacArthur will rant about how random people support Sanders

Don't like Universal Healthcare, GeneralMacArthur will rant about that,

Claim to be the average voter but spend your free time searching up random Sanders supporters, GeneralMacArthur will talk about that

Don't like people not supporting Joe Biden, GeneralMacArthur will talk about that.

Welcome to GeneralMacArthur News, and our motto is f**k you if you support Sanders or Warren.

Paraphrasing me in a quote is heinous, vile slander.  I'm calling my lawyer.

Not sure how old this video is, but as a die hard Hillary supporter, I really appreciate that Biden said this. He's not my first choice, but I'd campaign my heart out for him if he's the nominee.

At the very least, I'm glad to see the man call out the media (which, by far, was the biggest outside factor that put us in our nightmare). No matter how you feel about Hillary or Kamala, they never got a fair shake.

As I said before: rent-free.

Biden starts his attacks on Bernie. It was only a matter of time, and to be honest I'm surprised it took this long.

Defending himself from Bernie's misinformation campaign is an attack on Bernie? K.

Ironic how you're the one condescending to me when you take my post completely out of context. I actually watched Biden's video. He clearly wasn't serious. I believed him because a mocking explanation is very much in character for him. The video wasn't altered, but it was clearly taken out of context. He fought to keep Social Security intact for 8 years, and I trust he'll do it again for another 4 if he gets elected.

If you're getting offended over me saying "Biden's attacking Bernie and I'm surprised it took him this long to do it," then you're as thin-skinned as the candidate support.

Glad we're on the same page. If he wanted to cut Social Security, he would have pushed harder for chained CPI in 2010.

This man is a monster. Just absolute scum.

Welp. Guess I was wrong.

Still an overflow of canine sweat.

"Tomorrow is Super Thur -- er -- Super Tuesday.  Boy I'm getting ahead of myself there."

Clearly this man is losing his mind.

Who cares.  Its endearing.

You clearly don't know MacArthur if you think he's being serious lol

Where the f*** is Beto?

Did Amy just not want anyone to steal her spotlight?  Buttigieg also got bumped to an odd truck stop endorsement rather than coming on stage.

Apparently he's coming up.

I’m rolling with Joe. The alternative is a self avowed socialist who praises communists but has all the energy in the world to trash Democrats he will need to not only vote for him but vote for his agenda. I’m good.

I'm good voting 3rd Party if Biden wins the PRIM at this point....

Speaking of trashing 50% of your Party Base, it's the Establishment DEMs....

Extreme Sanders supporters willing to hand the election to Trump are not 50% of the party.

Extreme Biden supporters willing to hand the election to Trump are not 50% of the party either.

[free my dawg]

Beto gave a great endorsement speech, still has that undeniable charisma.  It's a shame he didn't get behind Biden earlier or he could have delivered this state for him.

He still might. Beto is a BFD.

Fantastic primary performance, ladies and gentlemen. You got us by even more than you all expected, although the warning signs were sitting right in front of us (especially in Minnesota). The schedule looks like even more of a disaster coming up, especially with my campaign's weakness in the Midwest, but this must feel tremendous for you all. I expected it to be a Bernie vs. Biden race, even after Nevada, but I didn't expect Biden to win so commandingly.

If you're not familiar with my previous posts, I used to be an Obama hack like most of the red avatars here. I called Joe Lieberman Fredo for years for opposing the public option. I got frustrated with Obama's pivot to the center in his first few years, but gave my heart to electing him and worked my ass off until the moment he left office. Call it nostalgia or wishful thinking, but I feel like everything's going to be fine, even with Biden at the helm.

And once it's looking even more likely (maybe in a few weeks when AZ/IL vote), I'll fight for y'all with the same energy I fought for Bernie. If you don't like me after that, you'll warm up to me once I'm on your side.

That's so degrading. Why would you do that to yourself?

Because we can't get much lower than what happened yesterday.

I want this man to laugh in Trump's face like he did Paul Ryan's.
