Does Forest not count? Gump is sad.
Post-democracy autopsy of how it all went wrong
If it was biden making a deal then that’s one thing. I don’t think that’s what happened. I think the DNC power players or donors said ‘we don’t want Bernie’ and the rest of the group fell in line.
In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I’m not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack.
Hence the calls of ‘DNC sabotaged Bernie’
Gonna have to update this as books with AI slop become more common.
