I feel like this isnt gonna pay off....

And honestly I really really wish we change nominations to be ranked choice voting.

No more caucuses. Just straight up ranked choice. Where you arent taking potshots at candidates very similar to you, and would only call out a candidate if the contrast is stark enough you want voters to know

Bonus points:
Chrissy Teigen has spoken, waiting for Debra Messing and Susan Sarandon to pop off

It's funny, both of them will only hurt each other. One of them should drop out.

Id fucking love ranked choice primaries but Im not upset by what Sanders is saying here.

He shouldn't have tweeted that. I think he did exactly what they wanted him to do and it is bad for optics. They're also propping up Warren against Sanders, but you can bet your ass that after and if Sanders is out, they'll attack Warren as well.

Why do people actually believe in democracy still? How many generations will people fall for the charade?

Who is they? And how?

The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class.

That sounds so Trumpish in terms of rhetoric I'm legitimately flabbergasted

Same. And, in any case, it's important for him to draw distinctions between himself and Warren.
And this "attack" is more about the establishment than Warren anyway.

Are you really that surprised, this has been the winning rhetoric for over a decade now through two different parties

Nope. If he wasnt already using his surrogates to attack Warren or if he was specific in his tweet to show he wasnt implying anything about Warren Id buy it.

He knows what hes doing and the responding tweets show it

Yeah exactly. I think hes relying too much on the us vs them narrative and not enough on policy though, hes got some catching up to do to Warren in that regard.

I mean, in the end, I hope they knock each other out. I don't want their vision for what we should be.

Warren and Sanders are going to chip away at each other while Biden runs away with the nom at the end of the day.

Im hoping hell get enough pushback he wont go down this route. Its still very early things can change, just glad hes getting called out

I'd say the cat was out of the bag back in 2016 when Hillary screwed him over the first time.

Im honestly not entirely sure what TCs problem with this is.
