Bernie Sanders was winning, what happened then? On Wednesday, US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders suspended his election campaign saying he did not see a viable way for the Democratic Party's nomination.
But the irreparable loss to his election campaign actually happened several weeks ago when he lost primaries in the states of Michigan and Missouri.
After that, the Democratic Party's primary season got in the way, as the Corona virus began affecting the public and some states had to postpone the primary election.
At the same time, perhaps everyone except Bernie Sanders' hardest devotees understood that he had no way of returning.
Defeat in these states had broken the backbone of the campaign and the postponement of the Corona virus probably delayed the inevitable. In early March, some activists working for Sanders's election campaign gathered at the Corrigan Pub in St. Petersburg, Florida, to see the results for Michigan and Missouri.
He was well aware of the importance of these elections. His state primary election in Florida was due next week, and if Bernie Sanders had won enough in 2016 in the Midwest region, if he did not win, then in Florida, where he was beaten in 2016, There was a bandage.
The room at the Corrigan pub was quite open but empty. A banner in support of Bernie was hanging from the TV. Voting statistics were coming to the screen. The atmosphere was like a funeral.
Bernie didn't even have his own speech to encourage people that night. There was to be a rally in Ohio, but it was canceled because of Corona, and they moved to their state of Vermont.
Jeremy Dolan, 27, owns the cafe and Bernie Sanders is supportive. He told me what he would say to his friends who were working on the Sanders campaign.
'Even if you do not succeed, you are still powerful. And the ideas you have are popular across America. Even if you do not succeed, you cannot stop fighting them. '
Earlier that day, some supporters at the nearby University of South Florida were looking at things in a slightly less ideological way, and they were more critical of Bernie Sanders' Democratic rival.
'If we want a sustainable developmental future, Bernie Sanders is the only way,' says Rachel Wetsman. Apart from losing Biden's own pain, his politics are by no means decisive. They want to take us back to the same time that Trump was elected. ' Although Bernie Sanders' 2020 election campaign has failed like 2016, it should not be overlooked that many things have been good this time.
They had a very weak organization in 2016, and they were working on a very small budget, and whatever popularity they got was only when the money started coming.
This time their organization's administrative structure could not compete. Many volunteer and professional people were working for him and his financial resources were enough to fight in every state.
Bernie Sanders collected a total of $ 181 million for the 2020 election campaign, most of them from people who donated less than $ 200. In comparison, Joe Biden collected 88 million, most of them large donations.
Another highlight of Sanders' election campaign was the popularity of his young voters. In the states where he lost even bigger than Biden, Sanders voted more for voters under the age of 30.
“Politicians are old people,” says Rachel. But the future is at stake. I think young people are fed up they know we need a progressive future. '
Among those who supported Bernie Sanders were the Latin American community. Sanders was instrumental in his success in the states of Nevada and California. In both of those states, he lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Young Latin voters affectionately called him "Theo Bernie," Uncle Bernie. Looking at the results in Florida, Jackie Eames, a volunteer, says: 'Latinos love Bernie because there are so many elements to his story that are important to the Latin American community.
He was from an immigrant family who couldn't buy basic things like home carpets and curtains. '
And then there are the bad things that Barney mentioned as the legacy of his campaign. They said they had won the debate over age. A.
He also announced success in the ideological debate, for example he mentioned universal healthcare, climate change, and free college proposals that are now undergoing mainstream consideration.
On the day Bernie Sanders ended his campaign, author and analyst Noam Chunsky spoke on the Democracy Now radio program, saying, "Now it is being said that Sanders' campaign has been unsuccessful. 'She was very successful. It completely changed the debate and debate in the field. '
But the problem was, as Bernie Sanders himself acknowledged, that he was losing the battle in terms of 'electability'. And the impression of eligibility or eligibility was very important to Democratic voters this time. Alarm bell
On a cool February morning in Cedar Rapids, James Hood, along with his wife, and two young children, were standing before the Iowa Caucus to hear a speech from Bernie Sanders.
James, a retired lawyer from Devonport, said he wanted to hear the candidate but would not vote for him. In his view, Sanders was very old and divided a lot of people.
'For many in this country, voting for Bernie will be difficult. Personally, I like them and I think they will do well. But I think if any of their policies were of a moderate nature, they might have succeeded rather than have you close the college. ”
Jimmy says voters like me need Bernie Sanders if they want to succeed in 2020 versus 2016. And he says he liked Bernie in 2016, too. This time, he even had Bernie sign on his house. But in the end, they voted for Hillary Clinton because she believed she was a more secure candidate.
But four years later, Bernie had not changed his position.
Despite all this, Sanders came very close to becoming a Democratic candidate. The Iowa Caucus, which was heavily disadvantaged and announced the results late a week, still had the most votes. In New Hampshire, they beat Pete Boutiquez by a small margin, and then in Nevada, where he defeated Joe Biden by 26 percent of the vote.
But in the end, that was probably the highest point of his election campaign.
On the evening of the win in Nevada, he said, "We are uniting people. In Nevada, we have formed a coalition of people of different ages and races that will succeed not only in Nevada but throughout this country. '
But this could not happen.
Instead they were hit by an uproar that led to Biden, who took a surprisingly big win next week in South Carolina. And the support of the former president's elderly and black voters was evident in the southern part of the country, and he won SuperTues Day in 10 of the 14 primaries.
And that's how Bernie Sanders went from leader to leader.
What will happen next? Bernie Sanders announced on Wednesday a positive note to end his election campaign. He said that even though his election campaign is over, his movement will continue.
"Although our path may be a little slower now, we are changing this country, and around the world we will change the world together with like-minded friends."
For the past five years, Bernie Sanders has created a movement in the air.
When he announced his presidential election campaign in April 2015, very few journalists attended the press conference.
Today he is one of America's most powerful leaders. They will be counted among people like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton. And they did not get this influence from a position, but because of the people they address.
Sanders, 78, is at the height of his political career. And it is very difficult that he will become the presidential candidate again. The question is, who will lead the movement they started?
