I posted the numbers before being torn to bits here for posting the decline. Guess time will tell Correct me if I'm wrong cuz I'm not 100% sure but Iowa is a mostly middle class white State no? If so, Iowa may have a lower percentage of very passionate underdog progressives that really resonated with Bernie I dunno tho, literally just a thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz even if he does energize his base, if it's not a state with a high percentage of his voters this might not be surprising And my perception is that Iowa is a mostly middle class white State. My apologies if I'm wrong about that tho. I'll just go and Google it now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, Iowa may have a lower percentage of very passionate underdog progressives that really resonated with Bernie I dunno tho, literally just a thought Yes it is middle class white, but it was also middle class white in 2016. The decline in the very people that Bernie claims to motivate to vote is telling. Again time will tell and like I said before I think Bernie can still win the primary, but unless he motivates the people who stay at home he probably won't win the general. He doesn't appeal to moderate and conservative Republicans, so he absolutely needs the stay at home voter. Did you just see the State of Union that just ended? Trump was going after socialism in a big way and comparing it to South American socialism. Yes it was all bullshít but Republicans eat that fear mongering of socialism like if it was a hot meal after a forty day fast. That said. The only person I think of the top four that should bow out right now is Biden. This was his state to win and he failed miserably. He will not do any better in liberal states. It's time for Biden to go.

"Socialism" is of course a generic term to use as there's many versions and branches of socialism... It can even be a little arbitrary on a spectrum. How much taxation, government spending/programs and regulation do you have to have before you cross a threshold that is considered a "Socialist" society? But my opinion on Socialism overall in terms of big government role, spending and taxes remains the same it has been for years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also my hope is that people in my home state of Michigan (and this applies to Pennsylvania as well) have woken up after 2016. Trump won by such a small margin and a lot of people I know said that they didn’t care much because it seemed like Clinton had it in the bag and they didn’t think Trump had a chance of winning. It could go either way, but I hope that people have learned from their mistakes. OT: What in the world could possibly be taking this long with these results?!
