Y'all don't deserve Bernie

No country has done enough awful things to deserve Bernie. He'd be too harsh a punishment even for China.

It's kind of hard to perform well in a race when you drop out of it to support one of your competitors.

He dropped out after what, 6 or 7 primary races? During which he only won one and placed second in maybe one other race and wasn't projected to do well on Super Tuesday? It wasn't so much, "Oh shit! He got Iowa!", as it was "Oh, shit... He only got Iowa." And the thing that people who aren't terribly with familiar politics forget is that candidates frequently drop out and throw their support behind a much stronger competitor in hopes of scoring a place in that competitor's administration. Either one could have been hoping for a VP spot.

The only thing that was "orchestrated" by the DNC was strongarming Biden into taking Harris as a running mate, because Harris was a terribly unlikely VP choice (although he *may* have wanted Klobuchar -- which would have made more sense -- up until the BLM riots in her state). And keep in mind that Harris *was* the DNC's handpicked champion. They'd been promoting and grooming her for a very long time, but the American people just didn't want her. So instead of getting her to be the VP, they pushed Biden to make her the VP knowing that he's unlikely to serve a full term anyway and thus they'll get Harris as the president that way.
