Let me be clear: I had ZERO faith in Sanders. To me, he's a career Washington insider, and his unwillingness to address the filibuster or the Supreme Court meant his only contribution to America as president would be moving the Overton window to the left. Instead it's going righthttps://twitter.com/aguyuno/status/1237736287253286913 …

Because he was totally unwilling to contend with Republican obstructionism, M4A was never going to happen. The scaling back of human rights wasn't going to stop. But! I don't think anyone could beat Trump anyway! That wasn't Sanders' value! His value was in creating a movement!

Because this is the thing. No matter the vote count, the only way Trump is ever going to leave the White House is frog-marching. And Biden? Biden's never gonna do that. He's part of the "they go low, we go high" gang that cost us SCOTUS and gave us Trump in the first place.

But it's a moot point, because Biden won't win in the first place. Not the popular vote, not the electoral. Acting like the southern Black community is going to power the campaign entirely on its own enthusiasm is the most magical of magical thinking. Wake the fuck up.

Like this is *more* increased turnout than the optimistic Sanders campaign projections of what it was going to look like when he started winning landslides by bringing back the youth vote (they were saying +15-20%, it's now +26%)

So there is objective reason to be optimistic if all you care about is winning the general election against Trump Which I think is why Sanders people are melting down, because they have nothing to sell a superdelegate revolt with now

It's the same with the "Southern Black voters are just one demographic" argument, to make that argument Sanders needed to clean up in a highly contrasting state (a northern white state), hence Michigan vs Mississippi, and then Biden took Michigan
