Bernie Sanders popularity is tanking. |
However, he is responsible for the slow-paced and mixed messages being delivered to the American people.
Over 5,000 people have died. Over 250,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States.
The estimated death totals are alarming. It could be over 100,000 to 4 million lives lost to the coronavirus. I don't know if we're talking months or years. Who knows?
The coronavirus doesn't know a timeline. A timeline doesn't determine when the pandemic is over.
So far, we're in the fourth month of 2020 and this may be the worst beginning of a decade, ever.
I am getting tired of the online presence of Bernie Sanders' supporters. The U.S. Senator from Vermont is still running despite calls to drop out of the race. He appeared from his home to do an interview with The View.
Whoopi Goldberg immediately asked him a question about why is still running knowing his path to winning is narrow. She asked why is he still in the race. Goldberg echoed the 2016 Democratic primary where Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his supporters were reluctant to help Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Bernie Sanders when asked why he’s staying in the race: "Last I heard, people in a democracy have a right to vote, and they have a right to vote for the agenda that they think can work for America.”— The View (@TheView) April 1, 2020
“We are assessing our campaign,” he adds. https://t.co/jNTxejozLp pic.twitter.com/xRoORR9z0g
“Trump from the very beginning downplayed the threat of this virus,” Sen. Bernie Sanders says when asked of what he’s most concerned about coronavirus pandemic.— The View (@TheView) April 1, 2020

"Why are you still in the race?" said Goldberg.
"Last I heard, people in a democracy have a right to vote, and they have a right to vote for the agenda that they think can work for America," said Sanders. “We are assessing our campaign.”
As he started to protest, she asked, “Can you explain why you’re still in the race and what this path is that you see?”
“That's not quite accurate,” Sanders replied. “I worked as hard as I could for Hillary Clinton.”
Let me make this clear. Sanders failed to build a coalition that could have carried him throughout the primaries. It's nobody but Bernie Sanders fault for that. His supporters are insufferable.
They are have been actively trolling progressives and moderates online with rhetoric similar to Donald J. Trump's MAGA (Make America Great Again) cult. I mean it's a tragic result of following partisan hacks.
I used to follow Shaun King, Michael Moore, The Young Turks and Secular Talk. No longer I am following them. I am done with them. They have proven to me that their message is to destroy the accomplishments of the Democratic Party. Their goal is to sabotage the Democratic nominee regardless of who it was. The surrogates were willing to destroy Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard.
Nina Turner, Cornel West, Briahna Joy Gray, Killer Mike, Ryan Knight, Cenk Uygur, Kyle Kulinski, Katie Halper, Krystal Ball and Linda Sarsour are problematic. I had to drop a handful of these trolls for good reason. They are living in a delusional world where they believe that the "losing candidate" in the primary stands a better chance at beating Trump. They are hoping Trump beats Biden to prove a point.
They are driven by conspiracy theories.
If Sanders continues to fall behind in the delegate count, he will complain about the "establishment" trying to keep him from winning the nomination. He will not concede to the fact that Black voters aren't appealing to his campaign. He will not concede to the fact that younger voters didn't turn out in mass to support him. He will not concede that he burnt bridges when he took on Warren, Buttigieg, Bloomberg, Biden and Harris. His campaign was built on divisiveness and its Trumpian.
Trump won on being the loudest voice in the room. He might win again on this notion. But damn it, I am not going to support Sanders if he continues to allow these fucking idiots speak on behalf of him.
