Zeus 11/04/20 3:16:25 PM #28:	Yellow posted... No, they are all part of the same progressive caucus Not really. Although I'm sure that they see eye-to-eye on many of the same issues, Bernie Sanders isn't often a Democrat and they have very different priorities. Yellow posted... They dropped out and endorsed Biden the day before election day. What? They dropped out during the midst of the primaries, not "the day before election day" (whatever that is). And the people who dropped out didn't have a viable shot anyway. They hadn't done well and weren't projected to do well, so they dropped out. And then others dropped out after Biden picked up TEN races on Super Tuesday. Only two candidates dropped out right before Super Tuesday. Then Tom Steyer, who spent more time promoting Bernie Sanders than himself, dropped out in late February (and didn't endorse anybody). This is just another fictitious narrative that BernBros created to justify the fact that Bernie Sanders is a terrible candidate nobody wants and a selfish asshole who joined the Democrats to run for president, lost, left the party, and then re-joined just to run for president. Yellow posted... And Warren is as welcome in the progressive party as Obama. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but Warren is closer to Bernie on issues than Bernie is to AOC. agesboy posted... people with more support than biden dropped out to support biden People who were polling badly and had so-so showings in early states dropped out because Biden was already set to carry those areas that would have made a greater impact. The argument that, "Oh, well ___ came in first in one state!", is idiotic when you consider how little impact the state the ONLY state they'd placed first in had, the fact that they'd done badly in other contests, and were projected to do badly in the big contests. Not every candidate wants to John Kasich the whole primary. Two candidates dropped out immediately prior to Super Tuesday and neither one had done all that great beforehand and weren't projected to shake things up on Super Tuesday. Otherwise candidates dropped out through February, which is common and happens every primary. lihlih posted... Yeah, even Buttiegieg, who looked like he had a real shot at it. lolwut? Mayor Pete had only managed to win ONE state and had mediocre showings everywhere else. lihlih posted... Also, if Warren was an actual progressive instead of the bullshit she is, she would've dropped out long before she did and endorsed Bernie. That's not how that shit works. However, if Bernie had dropped out and thrown his weight behind Warren, Warren might have been able to beat Biden. But I guess Bernie isn't a real progressive for refusing to abandon his political ambitions to help somebody else win, right? --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:946722426] in Donald Tru...
