    Why is that bad politics, but dividing 60% of the democratic centerists amongs Biden, Klob, and Pete to achieve victory good politics?

    Aren’t you alienating the largest portion of the base who will feel cheated that their candidate only lost because the race was too crowded with centrists?

    So do you consider what the French left change did ‘changing vote totals’ when they dropped out of races where they were splitting the vote and allowing far right candidates to win?

    Biden offering people he was running against influence and positions in his government if they drop out and endorse him isn’t cheating, it’s basic politics and if Bernie had half a brain he’d have done the same thing to keep those people in the race.

    Superdeligates have never once decided a primary.

    Here’s a simpler explanation: Progressive voters don’t turn out, even when it’s Bernie. They failed him in 16, they failed him in 20, and now they’ve failed us all.

    It’s easy to mail in vote, it is easy to donate money. It’s hard to actually physically show up and vote, so they stay at home.

    The man is out here talking shit and won’t show you evidence of why he’s right because it’s not his job to be a teacher and also you are disrespectful in your challenging of his assertions, am I following you correctly?

    The reason for no evidence is because there is no evidence, the reason for my disrespect is because i know he has no evidence. Don’t try to pretend like if i came at this from a different angle he’d suddenly be opening the library of Alexandria for us.

    Did they take his name off the ballot?

    Did they change the vote totals?

    Did they forbid him from campaigning?

    They just ‘put their thumbs on the scales’? What does that even mean? They did ‘everything they could to lock him out of the process’ while letting him campaign and participate in the process? All your examples are vague as fuck, bro.

    That’s literally just politics. Apply the same logic to the recent french elections where competing left-wing candidates dropped out to not split the vote.

    Nothing was stopping Bernie from making a deal with Amy and Pete to stay in the race to keep the centrist vote split
