Looks like Sanders won hands down!

You think winning progressive Christians, all non-white groups, and all white non-Christian groups is a coalition based on "prejudice, tribalism, and hate"? It's the polar opposite. You're projecting.

All coalitions based on identity are based on prejudice, tribalism, and hate in the end.  Ones that are based on minorities are no more virtuous.

You think because you are in the tribe that you are virtuous, but you make the same sad mistake of stratifying a society as so many in the past and have not learned from those mistakes.

It's not "based" on identity, it's just a coalition that you can measure off of such support. It will also have the support of unions, working class people, suburban and urban populations. However you want to word it. Me listing off the "identities" as you call them is just showing the breadth and depth of the coalition, not establishing a basis for it. They're demographic labels, not "identities" and the fact that you call them that shows us that YOU'RE the identity politician, not the Democrats.

Wow, that indeed looks like a Sanders win. If I had to guess, I'd say a Buttigieg 2nd, and Warren, Biden, and Klobuchar clustered closely in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Probably Biden 3rd, Warren 4th, Klobuchar 5th. Steyer taking up the rear, but not that far behind. The polls showing a surge for him were just outliers. South Carolina will be his last stand if things play out like that.



Nevada results are starting to come in.



There have been parties who stayed in power for decades in countries like Sweden, South Korea, Singapore. But the United States seems too diverse, too large and too complex for the same to be true. I don't think any party can squeeze more than 16 years or so in power.

Also at the exit polls: come on, they should at least tell the relative size of the "values" vs. "electability" groups. Is it 50/50? 33/66? Who knows?

Edit - it's 33/66, which should give more or less:

34% Sanders
15% Buttigieg
15% Biden
12% Warren

Without counting early votes and second alignments.

First numbers rolling in, and Bernie is crushing the competition: https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/nevada/



So three wins in a row. Bernie has to be your candidate now, everything else is an automatic loss.



Its over, lol Its pretty much over lol. Bernie winning the the first 3 states and if he goes on to win SC over Biden its over. We're so close to a Bernie Nomination. Sooo close!
