No, but this is a false equivalence fantasy scenario where Bernie had a nonzero chance of winning a contested convention he isn't the frontrunner in. Bernie would be staying in to exert some policy influence before bowing out and he and everyone else would know this. Biden is going to stay in to literally steal the nomination from someone who got more support, using the establishment as his backing, and fuck that noise. I mean by saying he'd exert policy influence, Bernie would have to know how to use his leverage as a potential nominee to make deals with the establishment. I guess what I'm saying is don't just assume Bernie is going to roll over and immediately die to the establishment at a contested convention because his campaign isn't incompetent and the establishment isn't an insurmountable foe. Otherwise he wouldn't be trying. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:935132808] in Politics C...
