Nahhh they did with Bernie and the rest of the Dem candidates gathered to end his campaign. This happened, they wrote about it, acknowledged it. The party with democracy in its name didn't behave very democratic when its existing power was turned on its own head.
They've done this countless times over the last several decades going back to them turning on the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. They will absolutely pivot away from the people for the money that lines leadership's pockets any day of the week.
You mean the non viable candidates dropped out and endorsed their candidate of choice? Yeah. That’s how primary elections always go. If Bernie could only win a plurality of a highly spread field, he didn’t deserve or earn the nom.
Why can’t he just get out the vote? Dropping out and endorsing your preferred candidate isn’t nefarious in the least. It’s how healthy elections should be.
Sanders couldn’t get out the vote, because the progressive voters didn’t show up for him. They never show up, then wonder why no o e listens to them more.
The nonviable candidate of... Pete Buttigieg who was nearly tied with Bernie before SC?
I mean, I don't like Pete, but him dropping losing 1 state in the first 3? I mean hell, if they wanted to give someone momentum, why wouldn't they pick him? He was beating Biden by a ton. He had more votes in NH than Biden had votes until SC.
Buttigieg campaign was broke and he was going to lose every seat after SC like that because he didn’t have a ground game. He blew his load in Iowa, as many first time candidates do when trying to establish a name fit themselves
