"First Amy Klobuchar had to acknowledge in a recent interview that she couldn’t name the president of Mexico. Then, speaking at a Black History Month event in Las Vegas, she met a crowd full of people who had difficulty naming her.

Pete Buttigieg has difficulties, too. His speech at a Nevada Black Legislative Caucus brunch over the weekend competed with the din of a buffet line — and whole tables of people who rarely looked up...."

"...Klobuchar drew applause, as well.

But as she left with a trail of cameras, one girl asked her mother, “Who is she?”

“I don’t know,” the mother replied...."

Klobuchar would have to be a JFK type to succeed with that name outside of Minnesota. And she hasn't. I've never seen someone get so much attention for finishing a distant 5th and 3rd in Iowa and New Hampshire. Both of the two seem to be staying low in the polls in the remaining states.

Because the corporately owned establishment media is trying as hard as they can to paint a narrative that these clowns are building momentum. It's all just a hope and a prayer to stop the movement they ignored and downplayed for all of 2019 that was just building up steam. They are in a full panic. This is the nonsense you are now seeing in opinion pieces because of how scared they are of Bernie.

This entire thing is just gold, but I like these choice paragraphs a lot

"For decades, the conversation about nominations has been about the conflicts between party elites and everyone else. Today, that conversation is counterproductive. A better approach is to think about how voters and elites could best play their different roles: to make their political parties more representative while ultimately narrowing the nomination choice down to one person. And the best way to do that would be through preference primaries.

Preference primaries could allow voters to rank their choices among candidates, as well as to register opinions about their issue priorities — like an exit poll, but more formal and with all the voters. The results would be public but not binding; a way to inform elites about voter preferences."

Just openly advocating for a system that will allow the voters to express their opinion and then allow the "elites" to piss all over it if it's something they don't like. It doesn't even matter if I agreed with nothing Bernie wanted I'd support him over supporting those that want this.
