    Fallacy here is assuming that Bernie can "hand his supporters on a platter" to any candidate he chooses. His supporters have individual agency. Kamala Harris isn't going to magically become the new avatar of democratic socialism just because he says so. https://splinternews.com/bernie-dont-run-1830983072 …pic.twitter.com/Eh09kpn8v0

        It was assumed in 2016 that Bernie could lecture his delegates, organizers, and media surrogates into uniformly backing Hillary, and that didn't happen. Ideological left-wingers are uniquely unsusceptible to top-down orders.

        Also, if you grant that Bernie shouldn't run strictly on "identity" grounds, you are conceding rhetorical territory to the bad actors in the institutional Democratic apparatus who are going to "weaponize" that concession and use it to influence the race in their favor

        😂 I would never in a million years vote for Kamala, Warren, or Sherrod Brown! And if Bernie tells me to, I probably wouldn’t support him anymore!

        Agreed. And if Bernie said to vote for Hillary Clinton I wouldn't. And I didn't.

        What I'm confused about is that Nolan just recently wrote a piece saying that people should vote based on issues rather than strategy. Now he's saying Bernie shouldn't run for reasons that don't relate to issues....

        Hillary For America attacked Bernie supporters in 2016. It's going to be hard to convince Bernie supporters to support someone who a) supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 Dem Primary, & b) didn't raise concerns about attacks on Bernie supporters.

        It’s that same mindset democrats have been losing on for the last decade. They have some smug sense of entitlement that becomes glaringly obvious by their reaction to honest critiques of any nature. Voter shaming is just projection
