There was vastly, vastly more projection into Bernie than Warren if only because of the ideological intensity of his supporters.

Warren supporters just wanted a smart mommy to take the reins so they could declare a progressive victory, go to brunch, and tell anyone to the left of them to shut up

Personally, I had resolved to write in Bernie, but someone on Twitter made the excellent point that nothing enrages libs like 3rd party votes, especially for the Greens. They pore over these votes with seething entitlement -- how they resent it, how DARE anyone, even independents, vote for anyone but a Democrat.

After all the Dem leadership and the shitbag colluding media did to run down Bernie...I want to twist the knife as much as I am able at this point.

Yeah I'm pissed. gently caress the corporatists.

It's also worth stating that Warren has very few supporters compared to Sanders. Paltry. Equivalent to Bloomberg's late run that outright bought voters.

Yeah, she did reasonably well in Iowa but after that she was pretty clearly in the Klobuchar-tier "spoiler at best" category. She had an opportunity to be the progressive candidate in October, but never recovered from the ideological beatings Pete & co. gave her for refusing to say she would use taxes to pay for Medicare for All. So loving stupid.

Late in the race she focused on tearing down Bernie since it became clear that she was bleeding her remaining supporters to him.

It would need to happen very fast, too much longer and a majority of delegates would be chosen by Bidens campaign. (I think?) Even if their first bound vote for Biden isnt valid for whatever reason, they still wouldn't be likely to vote Bernie. You'd be more likely to end up with Hillary 2.

A slightly more reasonable idea (that is still coming from the Bargaining stage of grief) would be hoping that Biden is pushed into picking a good (haha) VP, wins by a substantial margin and then immediately is incapacitated.

Biden is only the nominee right now because Bernie turned in to a sad sack, OP. We're mad because he gave up halfway through and endorsed immediately. A half rear end endorsement at the convention would not have led to this response.

Yep. Latinos don't have institutional power in the party and thus can be completely ignored without consequence to their careers.

Even if he somehow would have gotten past all that, Democrats would have gave him no support and/or Trump would have just cancelled the election.

To be clear, I'm not blackpilled. It was good Bernie ran again, and ran strongly enough to remove a lot of masks and reveal workings of The System to a lot of people.

Change for the better can still come. But it has been proven the Democrats' single most important mission and goal is to prevent it.

I originally supported Warren, as even though I align much more closely with Bernie on the issues, I believed strongly that a woman should be at the top of the ticket. Because of my strong male feminist leanings I was not going to vote for Biden and instead vote down ballot only. That being said, Bernie's endorsement of Biden, and more specifically his statement that not voting for Biden would be irresponsible has really brought me around to voting for the lesser of two evils. I doubt I'll ever donate or campaign for him but I'll definitely be voting for Biden, primarily as a result of Bernie's endorsement.

in 2006, when I was in college, being liberal meant you though gay people should have marriage equality and was seen as being radical.

As liberal politics drifted back towards the center, anyone with further left leanings was pushed into the radical left as we maintained things like healthcare and human rights should be free and accessible.

in 2020 being a liberal means thinking its more important to have the right kind of person shoveling poo poo down your throat than it is to have real policies that enact change for your community.

The CSPAM usage of liberal (status quo defender, numbers fuckstein, PMC IDPOL LOVING BOUGIE FUCKS) is incredibly different from the standard american usage of liberal (anything left of the percieved center) which is also different from the RW media use of liberal (anyone who isn't a proud Nazi).
