In reality, of course, it's always been foolish to suggest that all (or close to all) of the non-Sanders vote will go to Biden if it becomes a 1-on-1 contest. Many on DU subscribe to that notion, but there's a big bright world outside of DU where polling strongly suggests the "Sanders/Non-Sanders" binary is a fiction.

Warren calling Bernie Sanders a massive failure. Fails to get things passed Gothmog Feb 2020 #15

Maybe Bernie going to MA pissed her off. squirecam Feb 2020 #17

After ST, they need to drop out, as does Pete, all three need to endorse Biden, especially Warren Celerity Feb 2020 #16

Bloomberg has a large ego. squirecam Mar 2020 #18

If he does poorly on ST but still stays in, he is truly aiding only Trump via boosting Sanders and. Celerity Mar 2020 #19

This sounds morally dubious at best. Gravitycollapse Mar 2020 #20

In what way? squirecam Mar 2020 #21

It sounds like intentional interference in the election. Gravitycollapse Mar 2020 #22
