Put another way: despite their ideological similarities, if you're still voting for Warren at this point, it means you have deep reservations about Bernie. And the way many high-profile Warren supporters have been treated by the Bernie base doesn't help.

Anecdotally-- I'm hearing from Warren voters saying they now plan to vote for Biden, and that the mistreatment from the Bernie base is a big part of that calculation. They use words like "rude" and "negative" to describe the vibes coming from Bernie camp.

This is another example of how lefty "theory" conflicts with campaign reality. It's fashionable to scoff at civility politics, and many (rightly) point out the ways civility is used to crush dissent. But: voters like people who are nice to them and to others. Period.

To be clear: a lot of Warren voters will definitely move to Bernie if she drops out! They still share a lot of similarly progressive policies, they're friendly with each other, and Biden has many of his own weaknesses. But Bernie likely won't get ALL of her voters.

Do not take our vote for granted! I’m
#TeamWarren and no one on Bernie’s side has done a thing to convince me to join him as my second choice. It’s so insulting to think we’ll just fall in line without anyone trying to lobby us or give us a reason. -
The two campaigns are VERY different brands. I want positivity, not negativity.

Was having a chat with 2 of my fellow Warren voters last night and we all agreed our support will be going to Biden (we’re in Florida)... so at least anecdotally, you’re take is spot on.

Same here. I am also on Florida and I really want Warren, but if she gets out I will vote Biden.
