I’ve said before I would skip to the polls with a song in my heart to pull the lever for either Bernie or Warren. One thing I haven’t seen discussed all that much (or maybe I’ve missed it) is that Bernie and Warren’s *combined* support equals or exceeds Biden’s in poll after poll. Aside from hardcore Bernie Bros and Warren Stans, there are a lot of voters in the left wing of the Democratic Party who would support Bernie, and a lot of DSA lefties who would find Warren palatable. If they continue to split the progressive/left vote I think they may be handing the nomination to Biden.

Of course, the whole “lanes” concept is weird this cycle: people who have Biden as their first choice have Bernie as their second, and vice versa, which I find bizarre. The number of people who think an old white guy is the only hope against Trump is a constant bafflement to me.

God I hope not as far as Harris is concerned I mean. I hope Bernie pulls it back. Because other than (very maybe) Warren there is no one else who will try to do anything to really change our trajectory, which is just down, much like the later Roman Empire.

The thing about agreeing to vote for whomever, is that as soon as one does that out in the open (no matter what they will really do when push comes to shove November of next year) than one loses whatever little leverage they might have.

So, why did the moderators pose many questions using the Republican outlook for the issue?
