      If Warren drops out, I’m not so sure Bernie can necessarily count on those voters. Many are educated liberals who like Warren because they’re attracted to her *practicality,* alienated from Bernie’s sometimes-aggressive base, and want Trump gone more than they want revolution.

      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.

          It is more than just niceties. It’s that the core of the base is rooted deeply in misogyny. Is not just that they haven’t been nice. It’s that they’ve deemed us, threatened us, used violent language against us & feel entitled to control us

          You can through homophobia into the mix and yes we do have "receipts". Bernie had to fire one of his own staff members who was spreading unbelievably vile homophobic information about Pete Buttigieg - I guess also sending around rat emojis doesn't draw people to your campaign

          Spot on, Charlotte. I was so happy to be able to cast my vote for Warren in CA yesterday. If she'd dropped out, I would have voted Biden. I cannot support Sanders as I refuse to listen to a man bellow at me for another moment of my life.

          It is more than just "niceness." It is deeply rooted in practicality - you cannot work with people who call anyone who disagrees ever so slightly neoliberal corporate shills who hate poor people and want them to die.

          Exactly. If you are this hostile to people within your own party, how do you expect your standard bearer to be able to lead the entire country?
