"establishment candidates" You know that phrase is so indicative of why the play left doesn't do politics effectively. THEY BECAME THE "ESTABLISHMENT'" BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE MOST SUPPORT FROM THE VOTERS.
They won elections, a number of them, if the VOTERS hadn't supported them they'd be what most of the play-lefty dream candidates have been FAILED POLITICIANS.
That politicians support a candidate who they think will win the election over another one isn't one of those DARK CONSPIRACIES by DARK FORCES! that you play-lefties always theorize as the reason for your losses, it's something called "politics".
I can imagine a Senator Amy Klobuchar looking at what Bernie Sanders leading the ticket would do the the prospects of retaking the Senate and keeping the House and opt for Biden who won't be ballot box poison in key states and who might even have coat tails. Bernie would have negative coat-tails.
The play left has been wedded to anti-democratic ideologies and movements for so long I'm beginning to think they have contempt for democracy and voters and have developed a reflexive habit of detesting and disrespecting the voters and the choices they make. I'm beginning to think that's what generated the play-left, how it coalesced around college towns and other similar oases of non-reality, a snobbish contempt for other people.
And I'll add: I wonder how many people in Massachusetts have voted for Elizabeth Warren as compared to how many people in Vermont have voted for Bernie Sanders and whether or not in her relatively short career in elective office if she hasn't proven to be more effective by sheer numbers.
Apparently there's been a declaration by the Bernie Bots to primary Warren when she runs for the Senate again.
I wonder why anyone with a rational mind wouldn't rather she stay actively in the race AS A BACKSTOP IF BERNIE HAS ANOTHER HEART ATTACK OF IF BIDEN, A BIT YOUNGER BUT OLD, HAS SOMETHING THAT BAD HAPPEN TO HIM. I hope she doesn't drop out if for no other reason than that she is a fall-back candidate.
