AFTER BERNIE SANDERS' LANDSLIDE NEVADA WIN, IT'S TIME FOR DEMOCRATSTO UNITE BEHIND HIM
Nathan Robinson

‘Some members of the media establishment had no idea what to make of Sanders’ Nevada victory.’ Photograph: Mike Segar/Reuters It was a landslide. Bernie Sanders had been expected to win the Nevada caucuses, but not like this. With just 4% of the vote in, news organizations calledthe race
for Sanders, since his margin of victory was so large. Sanders has now won the popular vote in all of the first three states, and is currently leading in the polls almost everywhere else in the country. He was already the favorite to take the nomination before the Nevada contest, with Democratic party insiders worrying he was “unstoppable.” His campaign will only grow more powerful now. Importantly, Sanders’ Nevada victory definitively disproved one of the most enduring myths about his campaign: that it could attract left-leaning young white people, but was incapable of drawing in a diverse coalition. In fact, voters of color were a primary source of Sanders’ strength in Nevada; he received the majority of Latinovotes .
Entrance polls showed Sanders winning “men and women, whites and Latinos, voters 17-29, 30-44 and 45-65, those with college degrees and those without, liberal Democrats (by a lot) and moderate/conservatives (narrowly), union and non-union households.” The poisonous concept of the white “Bernie Bro” as the “typical” Sanders supporter should be dead. Some members of the media establishment had no idea what to make of Sanders’ Nevada victory. On MSNBC, James Carville saidthat
“Putin” had won Nevada, and Chris Matthews declaredthe
primary “over” (ill-advisedly comparing Sanders’ victory to the Nazi invasion of France). Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Postadmitted
that
Sanders had been stronger with nonwhite voters than she expected, and it might now be “too late” to do anything about him. The other candidates and their supporters did their best to spin a humiliating defeat. Amy Klobuchar said her sixth-place finish “exceeded expectations”—if
sixth place is better than you expected, you’re probably not a viable candidate. Biden vowed, implausibly (and for the third time) that he would bounce back.
Pete Buttigieg took to the stage to denounce Sanders, who he said “believes in an inflexible, ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans.” A Warren supporter rather charmingly saidthat
while Sanders had won, Warren had the “momentum,” and the Warren campaign itself saidthe Nevada
“debate” mattered more than the Nevada “result.” Let’s be clear: the other candidates were crushed, and Nevada was yet more evidence that there is no longer much serious opposition to Sanders. Michael Bloomberg fizzled completely
in his big debut, and Democrats would be out of their minds to enrage every Sanders supporter by nominating a Republicanbillionaire
.
Joe Biden has lost badly in all of the first three contests, and it’s very clear that he can’t run an effective campaign. Elizabeth Warren’s campaign has nearly gone broke and in desperation she has resorted to relying on the Super PACs that she previously shunned. Pete Buttigieg can’t win voters of color or young people (and has accurately been describedas sounding
like “a neural network trained on West Wing episodes”). As Matthews says: it’s over. Bernie is dominating the fundraising, dominating the polls, and winning every primary. I am not sure Jacobinis right that
“it’s Bernie’s party now”—for one thing, virtually the entire Congressional Democratic party is still opposed to Bernie. But it’s certainly Bernie’s nomination. There is simply no othercredible candidate.
Democrats shouldn’t worry, though: Bernie has a strong organization and a lot of money, and can mobilize millions of people to support him in November. He’s exactly the kind of candidate you should want your party to have. And for all the fear of his “radicalism,” he’s really a moderate: his signature policies are a national health insurance program, a living wage, free public higher education, and a serious green energy investment plan. It’s shocking that there is such opposition to such sensible plans. On what planet are these things so politically toxic that Democrats are afraid to run on them? Voters like these ideas, and so long as Democrats unify behind Bernie rather than continuing to try to tear him down, they will have a very good shot at defeating a radical and unhinged president like Donald Trump. The polling looks good for Bernie in November, so now we just need to get this primary over with and focus on the real fight. The other candidates had their shot: they lost. They need to accept it. One other takeaway from Nevada is that no future election should occur without significant reform to the caucus process. Nevada wasn’t an outright catastrophe like Iowa was—at least we got results on election night. But it was still plagued with “voting rules confusion, calculation glitches and delays in reporting tallies.” And the caucus process can be downright bizarre: tied results in the Las Vegas caucuses are resolved with a card game, and at one point Sanders lost a delegate to Pete Buttigieg because the Sanders team pulled an Ace and Buttigieg pulled a 3. (Aces were
low.) From the electoral college to the Iowa caucus, American elections desperately need to reworked from the bottom up according to the simple principle “the person with the most votes ought towin.”
And yet caucuses also produce some truly inspiring on-the-ground stories, from the cab driver who spoke up for Bernieand kept
billionaire Tom Steyer from being viable to the guy who switched fromTrump to Bernie
because he was convinced socialists were good people. Ordinary people gave incredible speechesas part
of the caucus process—one reason why it should be fixed rather than ditched entirely. Members of the Culinary Union, whose leadership had prominently opposed Sanders over Medicare For All, ended up defying their leaders and pushing Sanders to victoryat a
number of caucus sites. All in all, Nevada was an inspiring moment for American democracy, proof that ordinary working people of all races and incomes and genders can come together around a robust progressive agenda. Democrats need not worry: this is a good thing. It’s a night to be celebrated. The primary is not completely over, but hopefully it is now clear to every sensible observer that Bernie is cruising toward the nomination and needs to be supported rather than torn down.*

DEMOCRACY IS UNDER THREAT... ... when our institutions falter. At the heart of any democracy is an independent judiciary. No president should seek to influence or interfere with the rule of law. The current President's behavior in respect to the sentencing guidelines for Roger Stone has caused outrage and alarm from career prosecutors and federal judges. A central tenet of US democracy is at stake. These are perilous times — and the stakes of the coming election couldn’t be higher. Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. A robust, independent press is critically important. With your support we can continue to provide fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Our journalism is free and open for all, but it's made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers like you across America in all 50 states. On the occasion of its 100th birthday in 1921 the editor of the Guardian said, "Perhaps the chief virtue of a newspaper is its independence. It should have a soul of its own." That is more true than ever. Freed from the influence of an owner or shareholders, the Guardian's editorial independence is our unique driving force andguiding principle.
We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who generously supports the Guardian. You provide us with the motivation and financial support to keep doing what we do.

Sanders is like a competent Corbyn but still easily labelled as an existential threat so that those who would benefit would rather vote for an overt racist and someone who wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire but probably would if they were homeless and sleeping on thestreets.

IF ANYONE TRULY WANTS TO KNOW WHO THE REAL NON-DEMOCRATS ARE, look to the billionaires and corporate lobbyists. To them, elections are but a very large chess game, seemingly alwayswon by money.
To them, "democracy" is a joke. They could care less about the rights of the average person.Reply

I think people are beginning to see that American individualism is an ideal peddled to dissuade solidarity and collective action. It's a slow change, but it's coming. I also don't recall any government entitlements ever having been rescinded, once granted, in the name of lofty American ideals - even by Republican administrations. Perhaps Bernie's offerings will prove palatable after all.Reply

They are being rescinded or reduced now in some cases. Food stamps and health care. People have to get training or work to get them in many cases. Also, there was welfare reform under Clinton and in state such as Wisconsin under Tommy Thompson. Americans won't give up their individualism, not a chance. Too deeply ingrained.Reply

His policies are the existing status quo in just about every other advanced economy in the world. They're only considered radical in the USA as far as I can see. Debate in the USA is such that people predict all sorts of dire consequences, as if nobody else was doing it. Look at your next door neighbours, Canada, where you can see that the policies benefit the population.Reply

They don't have the vast underclass because they are social democracies, which is precisely what Bernie is about. Bernie's policies are aimed at addressing the huge discrepancies in the US that will help level the playing field so there isn't a large underclass.Reply

The Republicans can take out Sanders easy. Sanders wants to hit Wall Street. That will hit stocks. That will hit investments like 401K and other retirement accounts. None of the policies that Bernie advocates stimulates stocks. So more likely a bear market. This hits the broader economy because you can separate wall street from main street. Sander policies more likely send the US into recession. Perhaps a rerun of 2008 all over again. The only thing that could salvage a Sanders presidency is Republicans control congress to at least jam up everything Bernie wants to do until 2024.Reply

Since 50% of Americans don't own stocks, it's not as relevant as you think. And most Americans - including Republicans - hate the plutocrats/corruption. Bernie's problem isn't his policies. It's that realistically, he's unable to pass his policies.Reply

Nobody progressive or decent would claim otherwise. The problem is with the candidate - 40 years of defending Soviet/Cuban policies? Risking the election of Dems down-ballot in purple/red states? He makes it easy for the Republicans. He even appeared in Mueller's Report because of this.Reply

Almost all republicans will unite around Trump. Probably 90% of Democrats would unite around Sanders. Who wins? The people who the independents unite around. I have a very hard time seeing any evidence of socialism being advocated among independents. Advantage Trump inNovember.

The prospect is of two political outsiders, one a strident capitalist and the other a lifelong public-sector collectivist, battling for thetop job.
Last time it was the red side of the UniParty duopoly that lost control of candidate (pre)selection. Now it's the blue wing's turn. The monster of populism has bust loose from the box of blandness. Corporatised mass media have striven to scare voters away from the disruptors, but Americans seem less willing to be told where to draw the line against 'extremists' than when the media were massier. Why, at this rate November will be a scrap between sharply differentiated conviction politicians, involving old-fashioned things such as values and ideologies! Surely the Deep State cannot allow such dangerous behaviour? At this rate voters might even start to think before pulling the lever. The sooner we get back to when presidential choice meant preferring Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain or Sen. Romney or vice versa, the better... for the 1%.Reply

Forget about the Bernie Bros. An awful lot of people from every demographic really, really like Bernie. A far-left candidate may not be what we need to beat Trump, but there you have it. I picture Bernie continuing to do well until Super Tuesday, when Bloomberg and his entourage sweep majestically into the race. Then we'll be in a real pickle: if Bloomberg can catch up with Bernie in the delegate count, we'll have a contested convention-- with the "help" of hundreds of superdelegates. They'll go for Bloomberg, leaving millions of Bernie voters outraged & convinced that theirvotes don't count.
And that's where Trump comes in.Reply

Bernie isn't far left, he's centre left. Americans have no idea what far left is; to be fair, nor to my countrymen (Australians). They actually think the Greens are far left. The Greens are centre left. Labor is centre and the LNP were centre right and are now drifting much further to the right.Reply

Sure, nothing to worry about. Bernie is just a cuddly old moderate who wants to double the bureaucracy and spend maybe $80 trillion over the next ten years, while opening the border to how many welfare-dependent immigrants... when the world of unskilled and semi-skilled work is about to be ripped apart by automation. (The entire world's economic output is under $90 trillion pa.) Oh, and he's 78 with a dodgy ticker. But hey, this is real socialism which (all together now) has never been tried anywhere yet, so who's to say it won't all work out fine?Reply

SAnders has openly stated in town hall in june he does not advocate in any manner for open borders. He correctly states all would want to come here and we simply cannot have that. Social democracy is not a unique nor never been tried event. It is the real in Nordic states for one, and many countries to include India, who has them as a socialist state named in their constitution by addition in the 1980's attest to hybrids of socialism and capitalismbeing existing.

On a scale of A-F for tolerance of immigration, Sanders rates F, according to NumbersUSA. He showed some reluctance about open borders in 2015, but he has since caved to the 'Invite the World' mentality. His latest is to say that illegals should get Medicare just likecitizens.
He has never called himself a social democrat, only a socialist. He admires communist and authoritarian socialist countries.Reply

Bernie doesn't have billions. He has about $17m cash on hand (although he has at least two Super PACs). Bloomberg however, is worth about $65B, conservative estimate, btw. https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00000528Reply

Indeed. All the candidates are millionaires; Bernie is not particularly rich by American politician standards. Bloomberg is rolling in it. I can't stand the man, but he's right about one thing - he is a billionaire. There's very little evidence that Trump is - maybe he was, but he's a disaster in both business and politics.Reply

"It’s shocking that there is such opposition to such sensible plans. On what planet are these things so politically toxic that Democrats are afraid to run on them?" Earth, in a capitalist society. For many top Party movers, it's not about the electability of those policies, it's about stopping those policies. The Democratic Party is a Right-of-centre party; these are left-of-centre policies. There are bound to be plenty of wealthy Dem-lites who genuinely would prefer Trump to Bernie. They'll tell themselves Trump's awful, but they'll look at their bottom line and vote in accord with their classinterests.

I know, I know. But we're still left to wonder why other countries can mawnage to do it while the US, the richest of all, can't. It's got to come down to our taxing and spending choices.Reply

So Bernie is a shoo-in after 3 states? I think it's very premature to make that call.Reply

With her unpleasant history throwing footwear at staff, it’s Amy whois the shoe-in.

I wrote "shoo-in", which has nothing to do with shoes (despite how often it is misspelt). It's a horse racing thing.Reply
