The political lessons of Sanders’ Super Tuesday defeat
{The third lesson from Tuesday’s election is that Sanders’ Democratic Party politics produced a decline in youth voter turnout in 2020 versus 2015. This shows that contrary to Sanders’ self-proclaimed ability to mobilize young voters, many young people are looking for far more radical solutions than the Democratic Party has to offer.}
Another report claims that in states that turned from caucuses seen a growth in voters that didn't support Sanders. Also, in Texas there was widespread voter suppression where people waited as long as 7 hours in lines to vote. In California also along with the drastically complicated system they have, people were refused a proper ballet to vote. I covered that twice in earlier post, it played out as expected. ALthough Sanders won CA, they were the 2 largest states as far as delegates go that could have changed the delegate count had they'd gone properly.
And quite frankly, I don't trust the counts in other places, especially that coming from New Hampshire. But as in 2016, I've yet to hear Sanders question the obvious in the 2 states mentioned above! This weekend I'll be investigating those states groups on facehack to see if I can find more complaints and reasons to suspect foul play.
{But even as these lines are read, readers can be sure Sanders is already in discussions with the Democratic Party to determine how he can best serve their party in November. Sanders has withheld serious criticism of Biden after Tuesday’s election and yesterday began running advertisements praising the right-wing Obama administration.}
The sellout cometh. While I grudgingly post an article from TNYT on my boards 
As it miraculously seems they find a want to do real journalism, for a moment, again.
Joe Biden’s Success Shows We Gave Obama a Free Pass
We refuse to talk about how President Obama’s failure to deliver transformational changes may have fed voter disaffection in 2016.

His second four years were an exercise in futility with the Republicans (much like now!) unabashedly stonewalling everything!

When you redistribute wealth for healthcare from the working class to provide for those where many refuse to work or to put forth an effort to work, you're going to piss a few people off. I was one of them. My employer dropped our insurance program that year drastically increasing my premiums by 400% Many of my co-workers couldn't afford it and went without healthcare. Hell, I couldn't afford it to be honest, it put a major strain on my life in all aspects. And drained what little I had for retirement. Yea, some people actually made out by now having healthcare, at the expense of others loosing it. What we were promised didn't come to any sense of fruition we were told.
There's a hell of a better way out there and people are now awake to it. It took nearly 2 years for people to start believing and seeing what I was telling them of my situation. I was called every nasty name under the sun when I stated my case on social media during those 2 years. Some people, families had it worse than me. Many elderly paid a major price also!
Quite frankly, anyone who stands on a stage and claims they want to work on ACA to make it better, should be shot in the head as soon as they finish that statement! Another redistribution for the healthcare companies should not be tolerated by any means! Dispose of them once and for all for all time!
