      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

          They’re pretty susceptible to academia though, which serves the Democrats. Question is whether they think #MAGA are Nazis or if they’re open to dialogue. Otherwise, just put on the pussyhat and fall into love.

          I agree with you Bernie supporters won't necessarily "fall in line" in this scenario. It should always be said though that the % of Bernie primary voters who voted for Clinton in 2016 was higher than the % of Clinton voters who voted for Obama in 2008.

          Thank you for pointing this out. Not all Bernie primary voters voted for Hillary, but enough of them did that it is unfair to say "Bernie threw the election to Trump", a smear that marginalizes dem socialists. I hope people on this thread think hard before implying otherwise.

          Few that have interacted with the world like top-down. Liberal minds have little to do with the left/right continuum, Mr Tracey

          Only if he can secure funds for his followers, be it welfare, subsidies, openings in the public sector, etc. Luckily the US still doesn't have that big of a problem in that regard. Otherwise I can only think of the time he got an event hijacked by 2 screaming POCs, remember?

          I never took what he said as an order. Quite the opposite. He made a very clear statement at one point that stuck with me. “ If I ever tell you who to vote for,don’t listen to me.” Wasn’t saying do/don’t, I think he was saying think for yourself. Or I read it wrong🤷‍♀️

          Wasn’t true in 2016 but it’s likely accurate in 2020. The establishment Dems have been effective at selling the resistance movement to progressives so the threat of “Bernie or bust” among his remaining supporters is far less than it was in 2016.

          I’m pretty sure he’s working for the American people. I disagree with his politics, but he’s one of the few honest journalists left imo.

          Just like Obama was supposed to hand his supporters to Hillary. Left wingers seem more influenced by image (Obama, AOC, Beto, Bern) than political philosophy.
