Yep. Bernie won the first three primaries - Biden finished fourth in Iowa, and an embarrassing FIFTH in New Hampshire. He was all but finished. How can you be a serious candidate when a blue state prefers four other people ahead of you?

Then the DNC had an emergency meeting, got all the smaller candidates - Buttigieg, Harris and co. to drop out and support Biden. And miraculously, Biden started winning (though Bernie still won CA). Bernie should be fucking livid and ought to be running as a third party to screw them. They've done it to him twice now! At his age, what does he have to lose?

Sanders is no longer principled, assuming he ever was. He sold out.

The fact that Bernie was popular among Democrats does not mean he has more chances than Biden in a general election.

Someone who calls himself a socialist is still difficult to elect for Independent voters, let alone Republicans that they are trying to win over.

I genuinely believe Biden was the best candidate they had, by far.

And to answer the previous poster, blacks and hispanics wouldn't vote for a homo.
