When it became clear the framing of the election was becoming Bernie vs Everyone Else what that told me was that Bernie's base is more about Bernie than left policy Which I guess the "It's Bernie, bitch!" op-ed writers also think, but they think it's a good thing

I mean, the thing is, if it were actually true that "Americans want Bernie and Liz's policies and they just trust Bernie more to deliver them" then HE WOULD BE WINNING It would mean that every point Warren dropped would've been a point he picked up and he'd have the majority now

The fact that Warren's collapse didn't empower Sanders, whose numbers stayed stubbornly stable, so much as helping Buttigieg and Klobuchar on the way to helping Biden, tells me it was really about perception of competence and character not policy in the first place

(And if people react to this thinking "That just proves Lyin' Liz and her supporters were closet centrists this whole time", fine That doesn't change what I just said)

You aren't alone. I am just shutting out the noise now and will vote for whoever makes it. Good VP/Team announcement might help?

Same here. It depressed me that the clear most competent candidate was stagnating.

Warren made the mistake of attacking Bloomberg (who would have provided $$ to her campaign), instead of attacking Sanders, who is a grifter with no accomplishments, apart from being a malcontent for 40 years and naming 2 Post Office's in VT.

Its clearer everyday what most voters want is order w/ a veneer of civility. Theyd be perfectly happy with Trumps evil WH Admin if only he werent so chaotic in his corruption. Centrism is equated with civility which is equated with public order. The center of WHAT is irrelevant.
