      no, he had just won two primaries in a row. Everyone but Biden, Bernie, and Warren dropped out. Warren was just as beholden to the DNC as the rest of them, but she stayed in specifically to split the progressive vote, in order to catapult the flailing Biden into pole position. It was clear as day, a coordinated effort to stop Bernie from being the Democratic candidate.

        Warren played Marcus Brutus to Sanders’ Caesar, live on National television.

        She’s a wretch. She also falsely claimed native american heritage, which was an out and out lie.

          Remember when she called Bernie “anti-woman” and made some claim that he had said a woman can’t be president? I lost all respect for her after that.

        Don’t forget the part where everyone dropping out endorsed Biden right after. Another funny case was Buttigieg, who was doing well after the first few primaries, even won some, but then just decided to drop out.

        It was a calculated decision to win the election and Biden won the election. It was a decision made by the individual candidates. Not the DNC.

        I would vote for Bernie but America has more moderate voters than far left or far right. That needs to be considered when deciding the next candidate.
