That said, that poor sportsmanship in 2019 doesn't justify Warren's in 2020. She publicly accused Bernie of saying a woman couldn't win and went scorched earth against Bernie and Buttigieg out of spite, basically letting Biden coast, and only went back after him post-SC when it was way too late, when realistically the only pro-progressive play at that point was to just drop out and endorse the one actually managing to win states.
I mean is it "poor sportsmanship" or is it "you're trying to gain the advantage over your opponents in an election"?
this is where you guys usually lose me.
so much of relitigating the 2016 and 2020 primaries hinges on two points:
- that Bernie would have won a general election
- and that Bernie could have won the primary if the media and all his opponents were less mean and unfair to him
like, if Sanders can't win in a primary and the majority of voters don't care for him and the media is too mean to him, then he would also be a fucking disastrous general election candidate if he's incapable of overcoming either of those things
