Hot take: even if you are pissed at Warren and/or her supporters, it may be more effective to coldly hide that ire and instead just try to get them to vote for Bernie even if it means you forgo dunking on Warren or her supporters.

I'm sure all of you guys plopped into politics fully-formed with really smart takes and deep understandings.

This. Voted Bernie in 2016, have already voted Bernie in 2020 despite real missteps from campaign staff, and want him to make it to the general. If Bernie supporters don't self-police to keep the movement as positive and welcoming as possible, he's not going to make it. Complain all you want about "the issues matter more than your feelings", but that's just not how human nature works. A Warren supporter who is genuinely undecided is more likely to be won over by sweet lies from the Biden camp than "harsh truths" from the Bernie camp.

Warren's out. Stop rehashing the past and start trying to benefit from it.

Yes I get that your worldview flows from the presumption that Bernie is the one true progressive so anyone who opposes him not only is wrong but knows they are wrong and therefore is an intentional enemy. That was the point behind remark.

Personally I think if you earnestly believe in progressive ideals you choose your allies based primarily on who shares those ideals not exclusively on who shares your opinion of who would best implement them. But if you're not with us you're against us right?

Lets take healthcare as an example. Read up on Warrens proposed plan.

Then read Sander's. Then read Biden's. Which one do you think more accurately shares her ideals?

I'll drop it now, but feel free to send more of those great zingers my way.

If it makes it easier, the decision will probably be made for you eventually when we shut down all incoming traffic from foreign countries for “public safety.”

Which I’m actually surprised hasn’t been publicly floated as an idea (right?).
