Bernie Sanders has won the Democrats Abroad primary
Submitted by PriceRip on Mon, 03/23/2020 - 1:24pm
Sanders won 58 percent of the vote, which included just under 40,000 Americans living abroad, and Sanders will be awarded nine delegates to the national convention over the summer, according to the release from Democrats Abroad. Biden won 23 percent of the vote and will take home four delegates.
Just in case anyone might be interested.
RIP

I suspect that he is winning here, but until somebody
leaks some emails we won’t know.

I keep hoping this is true:
"I suspect that he is winning here,"
However, I fear We The People don't really want a well regulated economy and therefore will not, when "push comes to shove" vote for Bernie.
The defectors that are running rampant here (and now) are driving me to that conclusion.

Guess they didn't get the message from
Tulsi that it's over. News abroad must be slow considering the 19% voted for candidates that have dropped out, but those are still anti-Bernie voters; so, they should be added to MIA (or is it hologram) Joe's total.
Politico can't stop themselves from denigrating this
a couple of references to why it doesn't matter.
and
kinda bookending the thing, one at the beginning, one at the end, just in case we might get the wrong idea!
They’re on the front lines continuing to manufacture
consent even as the pandemic bears down upon us all. What courage!

I agree with you,
and have lived this type of scenario countless times over the past few decades. I only have hope because it is my nature and have participated in successes in the past. But, only time will tell the tale.
The only real (insurmountable perhaps) barrier is the tenacious cynicism of We The People, so much potential, but a mountain of duplicity, negativism, and doubt. As Ruby would say, they need to have the jelly beans shaken out of them for (fill in the blank). Ruby was a long ago retired teacher that knew the finest curses to get the kids to straighten up and fly right.

Bernie . . . stay in the race . . . stay in the race . . .
The weak ass Joe live stream tells the story. Bernie fund raising for charities and speaking the truth to power.

Check those fund raising emails
They are now for charities. I had them routed to a mail folder because I was maxed out, so have a look if you did something similar.
(This is one reason why I’m still doing data entry.)

A day or two ago, I took off the Tulsi 2020
sticker from my car and replaced it with a Bernie 2020 sticker.
In these times of uncertainty, who knows what can happen?
Trump does seem to be a bit like Herbert Hoover responding to the economic turmoil in 1929 and Bernie seems more prepared to play the role of FDR than does Joe "Pat Riley Haircut" Biden.

I wonder, however ...
Was Herbert Hoover so ill-equipped to function at this level?
Trump's handlers are having great difficulty keeping him on track. Even the most basic announcement (or pronouncement) is beyond Trump's capabilities, let alone responding coherently to a substantive question.
RIP
Hoover's problem was ideology
He was totally committed to the belief that the free market was the best and only way to respond to any and all crises. (This in spite of clear historical evidence to the contrary, e.g. the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, which was exacerbated by the laissez-faire attitudes and beliefs of the British government - not to mention a huge side order of bigotry.)
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Yes - but more like it colored his view
than he was impervious to facts. A decade on this is still an excellent overview:
Barack Hoover Obama. The difference between the two is that the Obama administration threw a lot more money to the banks than Hoover did. (Of course the US banking industry in 2008 was quite a bit different from what it was in 1930. More oligarchic and after 2008 was made even more so.)
