Stop this language like she just lost a family member or something. She's a politician. Do some politics.
And endorsing Bernie Sanders is going to advance any of those goals exactly how? Considering he will still lack the kind of demographic support he needs to you know, actually win. Warren ain't moving the needle on Sanders getting blown the fuck out with black voters.
I must have watched a different campaign then. Is the DNC gonna kick her out or something if she endorses Bernie first and he loses?
So why should she endorse Bernie if it's not about Bernie? Bernie's campaign is not the arbiter or gold standard of the progressive movement. Warren can do what she does best take a hard line against corporations and work with her fellow senators and congressional representatives to get progressive legislation passed. She doesn't have to hitch a ride on someone who selectively takes a hardline with companies (see Bernie with Gun Manufacturers and Fox News).
Either he shouldn't have run or he should have retooled his campaign message. A campaign of resentment and revolution was never going to work in this cycle. It's the wrong message with an incumbent Trump as the ultimate enemy here.
So it's not about advancing progressive policy, it's just about feelings? Got it.
I'm not arguing head, I'm arguing heart. Again, Warren ran a moral campaign. Unless the argument is literally "endorsing Bernie literally dooms her career and any power she has in influencing left wing politics moving forward", I'm going to be disappointed. Not, like, 4D-chess "we shall never forget this and this will have grave political consequences"-disappointed, but more like "it's March 2020 and today, right now, I'm disappointed in you"-disappointed
And at the same time, fuck your feelings if you don't like getting doxxed and email spammed by Bernie supporters.
Her supporters were maybe 40% at best with Sanders as a second choice. They want unity, calm demeanor, effective plans, alliances with people who have been fighting the good fight. They are fine with "the establishment" especially if it means groups like Planned Parenthood. They weren't a coalition of resentment and revolution. She betrays a lot of them by endorsing Sanders too.
People are talking to you in good faith here, there's no need for this
I don't expect him to, and you shouldn't need his permission to go vote out Trump. And his people don't vote Biden just because Bernie doesn't support him well then I guess they were part of problem all along anyway.
The anti establishment thing was never going to be a winner. That worked against Clinton cause the Clinton's have come to be hated on both sides over time. Doesn't work well with a bunch of well liked and well regarded politicians.
No. The person closest to you is not necessarily worthy of endorsement.
They wont and we all know it.
You really really want another four years of trump huh? Stop being selfish.
I think you're misunderstanding his response. The part you take issue with isn't targeting another user, it's a hypothetical.

I mean I think you could definitely call the across the board endorsements of Biden as class solidarity. They do not want Bernies policies because it will hurt them and the people who fund their campaigns financially. So they endorse the candidate who will keep stuff going as is.
I think if anything is shocking, it's how big the numbers of the anybody but Hillary group was. Bernie could have turned that into real support but he committed the same mistakes he did last time. Only this time he didn't have a "flawed" candidate to overshadow his weaknesses.
At the end of the day, you don't want to isolate or turn away voters. For all of the criticism Bernie got for not expanding his coalition, Biden should get the same amount for isolating Sanders Supporters.
