MSNBCs big Breaking News talking point is that Biden committed to a woman VP. Apparently nothing else happened

I have nothing against the idea of a woman being picked as the VP candidate but I feel like committing to it makes it more transparent that you did it for 'points' than because they were the best option.

But that just leads into my issues with identity politics in general

I mean, I'm all for representation, myself. I think the Democratic ticket ought to look like the Democratic Party, but in Biden's case it's nothing but naked political calculus. I mean, he literally floated Stacey Abrams for VP last summer, and would anyone actually buy that him and Kopmala are BFFs now? It's identity as a substitute for policy.
And Klob would make even his token gesture to the left even more obviously empty, so she's out.

It was a stupid point for CNN to try and rail on. I was okay with Bernies answer

Whatever your thoughts on the presidential primary, bear in mind that primaries for other positions are also being held in these states, and this shit makes that barely functional, let alone safe.

I dont think that Bernie will drop out until either Biden mathematically wins the delegates needed or until he runs out of money to continue with the campaign.

Bernie had:

Universal name ID
Massive Grassroots support
Enormous fund raising

And Biden still crushed him. This isn't even a competitive primary anymore.

Well when the entirety of the Democratic Party throws their collective weight behind one candidate, combined with most voters only caring about defeating Trump, its not gonna go well

Hillary had considerably more support and Bernie was at least able to go the distance.
