The Sexism and Hypocrisy of Bernie Sanders' Campaign

[TomCADem]

When Warren's path to the nomination did not seem feasible, Bernie's supporters demanded that she suspend her campaign. However, now that the shoe is on the other foot, Bernie insists on continuing his campaign in order to launch attacks against the Democratic Establishment, i.e., Democratic voters.

We cannot trust Bernie. Just two weeks ago, he said that a mere plurality was sufficient to win the nomination. Now? Not so much.

If Bernie can't win the nomination, the goal of his campaign will be to make sure Democrats lose. The tell will be when his surrogates once again loudly declare that they ar voting Green Party.

Biden should not make the mistake of letting Bernie surrogates like Cornell West draft the party platform only to subsequently campaign for Jill Stein.

AFAIK, Bernie never demanded or even suggested that Warren suspend her campaign. If we're going to attribute to a candidate what some of their supporters say, well, there were a bunch of Biden supporters here suggesting Sanders drop out even before Iowa! Equating what some supporters once said to what a candidate is saying is just silly.

No, he has continued to say the same thing, even after Biden pulled ahead. See:

Biden is going to be the nominee. These continuous (and often misinformed/misinforming) anti-Sanders posts are merely divisive, IMO.
