And if the Bernie juggernaut could be stopped like this by Team Biden, thank God we didn't put him up against Team Trump

As to worries about how Biden's failure to court the disaffected young left will play in November–what are they going to do, not vote twice?

Umm no that thing he’s describing is the unprecedented move for basically every candidate but warren to consolidate behind Biden on the eve of Super Tuesday. You’re talking about voting as if people’s choices weren’t more than just Bernie or Biden just hours before Super Tuesday.

This is the sore winning he’s describing: purposely obtuse condescension.

I spoke to plenty of voters while texting for the Bernie campaign who said they liked Bernie's policies but Biden was the 'electable' candidate who was supported by the party. Where do you think they got that perception from and when has it happened before?
-
They got it from experience of watching and participating in elections. Biden was seen as electable because he was veep. Sanders looked unelectable in a general to most people familiar with US political history because lefty Sanders types in generals always lose by huge margins.

Yeah biden won fair and square. Doesn't change that a lot of people feel disenfranchised by the situation. The choice now is down to donald trump or a conservative

A lot of Bernie Stans had a big lecture for Warren supporters about how they should get over it and vote for him when it was clear she couldn't win by the numbers. Take that lecture, and deliver it to yourself and your friends.

fair enough, but is the takeaway that people (voters) want Biden, and they don’t want progressive social policies or they think that they’re too unrealistic to implement? (repudiating Warren and Sanders) That feels pretty depressing.

I prefer to hope it was the milder lesson that a lot of Democrats, especially black Democrats, weren't interested in voting against the Democratic Party. I'd also point out that the "centrist" position is far to the left now of where the party was a couple of years ago!
