      Well that's the thing, the "vote-splitting" theorists weren't completely right either The Bernie supporters who were sure Harris, Buttigieg, Booker, Yang, etc were all taking some percentage of votes from Bernie weren't wrong, because voters don't sort into neat boxeshttps://twitter.com/Amber_mom_/status/1235067995707363328 …

      I haven't been understanding their reaction on that. The stated goal at the beginning was to keep a base and win because no one else could get a majority in a big field. Obviously moderates dropping out was not going to help him, but they acted like each was a personal victory.

      What it *feels* like the Extremely Online pro-Sanders pundits believed was Sanders had all the normal working-class voters on his side, the college-educated "PMC" obnoxious woke liberals they hated were all split among the others, and once they made them bend the knee it was set

      Hence all this ire aimed specifically at Warren, who came to be the scapegoat for keeping the "educated progressive wing" from coalescing around Bernie, which was all they thought they needed

      The Super Tuesday results kind of make it seem this was a strategic disaster Bernie *already had* a big chunk of the college political wonk crowd, and probably hit his ceiling with them a while ago But that crowd isn't important, such is why Warren ended up not being important

      Bernie did *not* have the lock on "regular working class voters" he thought he did, the idea that Biden's base was a fixed quantity that could never expand was wrong, and now he's got to rethink a bunch of stuff

          Also important to know a lot of people just dont vote in primaries if their main choice drops out. Its not like all of those voters necessarily choose another candidate

          Bernie seriously underestimated the extent to which his 2016 support was anti-Hillary protest voters that by 2020 were happy with some other candidate or had quit the party entirely

          A big part of this, also, is the extraordinary age gaps in the primary. If you're under 40, your peers are almost all voting Sanders or Warren. If you're over 60, almost everyone is voting Biden. That means both Sanders and Warrens' voters only knew each other.

          So yeah, that's where all the action is going to be. Where are you going to find Biden or Bloomberg voters to yell at?

          Anecdote but I where I work gets a lot of older and working class white people and the ones that are Democrat were all very pro-Biden. Bernie was seen as a crazy hippy that promised a bunch of things he could never deliver.

          And like, I don't talk politics because some of them are crazy ass red hats, but the ones I felt I could talk to I tried to talk away from Biden (to Warren or Sanders). They wouldn't budge. They didn't see Sanders actually being able to follow through on his promises.
