Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The problem with 'Socialist' [View all]Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)Gillum underperformed in Miami and it was widely forecast, due to the socialism tag and being endorsed by Bernie Sanders. Our primary voters apparently didn't consider that type of thing at all.
I live in a mostly Cuban neighborhood so it is extremely obvious to me. I started seeing DeSantis signs in yards that never sport political allegiance at all. The polls always looked good for Gillum so I hoped he could barely get there but I always knew the polls allowing a large lead for either Gillum or Nelson were bogus.
Here is an article I have posted several times:

It is great this is being addressed now. The white non-college educated problem was already as glaring in early 2015 as socialism is now, but Hillary didn't seem to understand how ominous it was. I had to throw "Shattered" to the ground when the first 100 pages contained zero mention.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
