Bernie Wins Big In Recent Primaries Amid Corona Crisis
While the pundits and politicos wrote off the movement-builder Bernie Sanders from winning the Democratic Presidential nomination, a ravaging storm named Covid 19 flipped everything around.
The economy is in a tailspin as much of the country has to shelter in place and only essential businesses run as normal. And the country is looking for a take-charge leader to displace Trump who will be seen as failing the country in leadership during this crisis come November.
In normal times Americans would be their usual timid self and nominate a moderate like Joe Biden even though he is arguably a worse candidate than Trump. But the panic and fear of the coronavirus changed all that, at least for now.
As Primary elections continue the only group who is risking their health to vote in large numbers is the 18-35 demographic. “I get about 80 percent of that vote,” bragged Sanders. “Nobody else gets those kinds of numbers.” As older voters stayed home Bernie has won big majorities in the latest primaries.
“We just left the park and wanted to make our voices heard,” Sheppard Scott stated in reference to his five millennial friends in line to vote with him as they stood a couple feet apart. “And we’ll celebrate tonight at Javier's. We’re going to dance in the Revolution with Bernie.”
Javier regularly hosts parties that violate all the social distancing rules. “You can’t dance 6 feet away. You can’t do anything 6 feet away,” complained Scott.
Campaign aids later told Sanders that the Democratic Party had postponed the in-person voting process. His advisers concluded it was likely this uptick in victories was a short turn bump that would disappear as older voters go to the polls again by mail or by other forms of distance voting.
“Well, I can tell you that Joe Biden is a decent guy. Joe Biden is a friend of mine,” Sanders droned on for the 8,671st time. Bernie seemed content in the prospect of losing again after the rest of the Democratic Party conspired to make sure he lost … again. “Hey, I need to keep busy. This campaign will continue and if Joe can’t complete the campaign I’m sure the Democratic Party will nominate me in his stead,” Bernie surmised out loud while knowing internally that the Dems would never nominate him.
