Warren isn't Sanders' competition. Biden is. You're playing the "please drop out so my candidate can consolidate their coalition" game, which if you've been paying attention, is happening with virtually all the non-Biden moderate candidates right now as well. So which is it? Is Warren a threat to Sanders, pulling votes away from him, with 40% of her base polling Sanders as their second? Or is Warren have so few votes she should just put her campaign out of its misery?
Sanders supporters are focusing on Warren because she is a progressive alternative to Sanders policies, and its easier to attack her for being mean and not 100% pure than it is to try and convince moderates to vote for Sanders instead of Biden.
I say this as someone who recognizes Warren doesn't stand a chance against Sanders, but let's not pretend this isn't what it is.
