I mean, the model is trash, but both can be true. If the logic is that: if things break Biden's way on ST he'll be more likely to get a majority than Bernie Sanders. However, Bernie is more likely to take a plurality overall, though he's unlikely to get a majority.
Bernie bros finally got to Matthews. We should have seen this tragedy coming
Not sure, why don't you ask the person yelling

Turns out that "progressivism in America" isn't limited to Bernie Sanders and there can be multiple approaches. Plus, as I've said, she's staying in to combat Bloomberg. She's much more powerful against him than Bernie is.
Wait a second, a SINGLE supporter was booing press and said press, notoriously against Bernie for the past year, is trying to spin it into another Bernie Bros thing?
Jesus Christ they deserve for every voter in America to boo them.

Damn it's almost like he has been, at most, 1 of 100 senators.
If Bloomberg drops Sanders is going to have a Bloomberg money problem.
Chuck Todd tried to warn us...

Bezos didn't pay people to be his goons. He bought a media outlet because they were already doing the things he'd like a media outlet to do.
I don't think you have to worry about Sanders becoming fascist-like. Call it a hunch.
There are multiple approaches, but one approach is pretty much dead in the water as sad as that is. I've never lied when I said I would gladly vote for Warren (even though I really really preferred Bernie), which is why I've never really attacked her like I do other candidates. Still, we're going to need everyone to beat Biden.
Anyone who likes Warren should not vote for Biden. I'm assuming people are voting for her because of her progressive values of which Bernie is closer than Biden.
In the case of Bloomberg, at this point it's good for Bernie that he's in. However, his millions and dropping out will massively help out Biden, which is scary.
Why would one Sander's fan be mad at the mainstream press when it's gone as far to say he'll be executing people in Central Park? The absurdity. Clearly the civility of this one person is more important than universe healthcare, killing black people at home, education, the wealth gap, and murdering brown people abroad.
Well, America has one shot at a progressive candidate right now whilst Warren's providing a shield for Biden which kind of seems she isn't too fussed about the 'progressive agenda'. Plus, if Bernie got to respond first he'd probably be doing just as well against Bloomberg in the debates.
i would love to. i'd be more interested in hearing what they had to say about it than see folks say "it's ok to yell at folks because their coworkers, who they may or may not have ever interacted with, were critical of Bernie Sanders"
This is really where we at? Lmao. Warren's effect on the voting and delegate totals is infinitely more important than her attacking Bloomberg on stage (and her second go already showcased diminishing returns), and it's not like Sanders can't handle him alone. AND Bloomberg might very well not be relevant by Wednesday.
The only reason I'm not furious at Warren is because Biden is operating with a similar handicap. If this is Sanders v Biden v Warren no amount of weird logic is going to make Warren any more dignified.
Man I sure wonder what set all those Bros off to hate the media, kinda like Trump does.
Haven't the slightest clue at all. Seems pretty irrational.

I hope people understand the events of the last days and are cautious voting for Warren at this stage.
Tell me more about how Pete decided to drop out of his own volition and there's no coordination happening behind the scenes.
The longer this primary goes on, and the better Biden's odds look against Bernie Sanders, the more resigned I am at the future of a second term of Donald Trump. I am by no means rolling onto my back ready for defeat, but in the event that it happens, I will not nearly be as surprised as I was in 2016.
As it stands, it's going to be really tough for the one progressive candidate which has a strong diverse coalition of support.
The multiple approach is a losing strategy.
is this the tweet you meant to post because i'm not sure "yelling at random people in the press pool at a rally" is the correct response to "meg mccain, daughter of john mccain, criticized bernie sanders"
i love that AOC reads my era posts!
Give me some of these "multiple approaches." Because right now, the only way to get a progressive in the White House in November is with a clean win (either a significant plurality or an outright majority). She's sure as shit not going to get that, and her presence in states like CA, for example, is just soaking up delegates from the only other progressive in the race.
A brokered convention giving the nomination to anyone but the leading candidate is absolute suicide, both for this election and the party.
And "well actually she's trying to stop Bloomberg" when when the guy's already lost, and is now only serving to siphon off Biden voters, is a real galaxy brain take.
He would be a hypocrite if he does that considering he was said to stay out of this primary.
I'm not sure even Meghan McCain's family takes her seriously anymore. Bernie doesn't lean into the media hatred the way Trump does. It's important to add context and not just bash anyone that disagrees with you. If someone's being an insincere shit, I get being frustrated, but there are plenty of people who simply are just not as informed as we all are. Even people on TV.
dang, is Obama really this opposed to Bernie winning the nomination? It makes me a bit sad
It specifically says in that same article that Obama did not specifically tell Buttigieg to endorse Biden. What he says is true: Buttigieg endorsing Biden would make him more formidable against Sanders. It's probably his preferred outcome.
But how is this specific instance a prelude to Obama coming in and endorsing Biden in public himself?
It certainly is a possibility that Obama could attempt to "save the day" against Sanders. But mere implication and backdoor rumors are the only fuel to that suspicion. Every official who publically or privately opined on it said Obama wouldn't step in. Combine that with Obama staying out of 2016 publically until the nominee was chosen, and the Biden camp being upset earlier that Obama wouldn't endorse him to begin with, paints a clearer picture that Obama most likely won't step in until the Democratic leader is decided.

I'm not too terribly surprised; Obama's "change" campaign was pretty much just more neoliberalism, which lines up pretty well in the modern DNC establishment.
They're indirectly related. Most of the View hates Bernie for reasons I couldn't at all imagine. Most of the media does, actually. Again, not justifying one person booing another in particular, but maybe we should put context to certain scenarios to help us better understand why they happen.
