The latest 2020 primary polling has nothing but bad news for Bernie Sanders
He should try combing his hair and smiling more.
Sanders got an early bump due to name recognition, but Biden is the one Trump is most afraid of. Potential voters are going to notice this a nd consider it a sign that Biden stands the best chance of beating Trump.
Sanders is the also-ran, Biden is the shinning gold star.

There are certainly many more racist incidents in America, because the population is much more diverse and so there are many more opportunities for conflicts to arise. The legal system in America is dysfunctional not because Americans are especially cruel or sadistic, but because white people have this existential fear that one day minorities will occupy positions of power and start enacting policies that serve our interests rather than reserving all the gains for whites exclusively. This is not something Europeans will ever have to worry about, all the white extinction hysteria aside.
And this is not to say that I think all Europeans are like these closet racists who just pretend to be tolerant but still have their SS uniforms stashed away just in the case the savages get too uppity. I'm just saying that the demographics of Europe mean that there are generally fewer situations where your typical white European will have to choose between upholding their principles of equality and openness, and serving their personal socioeconomic interests, a dilemma that most Americans encounter on a daily basis.

I'd argue that his 15 mins of fame started with him getting him getting punched in the face. He got smacked and the next thing you know he's all over the media. As far as him not looking strong...remember what happened was he was standing there and got sucker punched by someone who promptly ran off. None of the crowd that Spenser was trying to reach thought that he looked "weak" and Spenser doesn't feel shamed by that incident at all. Sure, he's not flavor of the month anymore, but I think that's because the alt right simply moved on to their Stephen Molyneux and whoever.
It's not about being 'sore', it's about performance and perception. Sanders is divisive, he is the kind of candidate you either really like or really don't like, and his performance in 2016 reinforced that.
A divisive candidate isn't going to win over enough Democratic voters, and is especially not going to win over enough otherwise aligned voters.

Donald Trump is getting desperate, like a trapped animal. The more desperate he becomes, the more dangerous he becomes. If he is running the country like a business, this is his end-game, the point where he trashes the business, bankrupts it, then steals as much as he can from what's left. If he's going down, he's taking the country down with him.

I'd argue that's pretty much exactly what's fueling the anti-immigration racism in Europe these days. The demographics of who the minorities are are different than in the US, but all that "great replacement" and "we must preserve 'western culture'" stuff and "we don't have the resources to spare for these people" is very much a thing over there.

Or Biden will run the same campaign Hillary ran and lose the same way:

Also all these claims about Bernie's supposed sexism and bigotry seem like disingenuous smears made up by the donor class if Joe ''I am against Forced Busing'' Biden is the one everyone is supposed to flock to.
Sure but if you are a real left winger, who pretty represents your views, real policy progressives like Sanders or Warren or corporate hacks like Biden or Booker?
Clinton did the third way, centrist, corporate hack strategy in 2016 and lost, why would doing that again have a different outcome this time.
Corporate Democrats like Clinton, Biden, Booker, etc are standing in the way progress, they should stand aside if they actually want to improve things.
