Elizabeth Warren's Campaign Is Now About Keeping Bernie Sanders From Winning

quote [ She's taking money from a super PAC that may well be funded by people trying to hurt Sanders. ]

Is Warren a threat to Sanders, pulling votes away from him, with 40% of her base polling Sanders as their second? Or does Warren have so small a chance at winning she should just put her campaign out of its misery?

These two things are not mutually exclusive. She is not going to win, that doesn't mean she's not going to suck away delegates that may keep him from going into the convention with the majority (not a plurality, a majority!) of delegates. If that happens, there is no way the superdelegates are going to allow for a Sander's candidacy in the following rounds. That makes her Sander's competition. That makes her a direct roadblock to his candidacy and the platform the progressive movement is coalescing around. And there's no fucking way the Democrats are going to beat Trump after stealing a nomination from the people.

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.

No fucking shit.💁‍♂️😅😅

No fucking shit.💁‍♂️😅😅 The reason they're doing it is because they would have been fighting over votes and going non-viable thus giving Bernie more delegates.
