Just like that? Wow. This guy folds so easily. Just like when the DNC rigged the 2016 primaries against him, he folded immediately and told everyone to vote for Hillary.

I am immensely disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.

Plot twist: Sanders undergoes gender reassigned surgery...

And runs as Biden's VP!?

EDIT: Biden stated he'll have a female VP.
This comment is hysterically funny. Where's the love??? :-/

I know you're kidding but i don't think establishment democrats want progressives anywhere near power. This is all happening because the establishment democrats MUCH, MUCH rather Trump get another 4 years than Bernie winning. I've yet to talk to someone who thinks Biden will win, lmao... what a fucking joke this is.

Exactly. The DNC's top choices are 1. Biden 2. Trump 3. Anyone else 4. Bernie.

So they can't do Biden even though they're forcing it as hard as possible, so it will be Trump. And the DNC is perfectly okay with that.

Which explains all this hyperbolic caterwauling about Trump, they're overcompensating to cover for the fact they actually prefer him over Bernie.

Establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders or anyone like him leading their country.

The type of people that support someone like Sanders don't have a grip on reality — what America is and what Americans want.

The great majority of Americans don't want a fist-shaking crank bent on remaking the American way of life with socialist-leaning ideology.

people who disagree with me don't have a grip on reality

Majority of Americans don't have a strong opinion on the matter because the majority don't even vote. I agree with people who say that Trump and Sanders have a lot in common because they're both populists(they just appeal to different parts of the population). That also means they both clearly do have similar amounts of support in the country. So you can SAY Bernie doesn't have a lot of support from a lot of Americans, but that just shows who's the one without a grip on reality.

Free health care and free college polls at like 70% approval. The crowds Bernie drew in 2016 seem to back this up.

The primary process and opinion polls indicate establishment Democrats and the majority of Americans don't want Bernie Sanders leading the country.

Everybody likes free stuff until it's broken down into details that reveal how much 'free' really costs.

It became clearer after the debates that Sanders couldn't detail how his promises would be 'free'.

What do you mean... California, the west coast, Illinois, and New York is overrun by progressives

Yes, i didn't say there weren't a lot of progressives in America's general population. I'm talking about the DNC, the mainstream media and the people who might be pulling the strings of the DNC and mainstream media. Look how hard the mainstream media tried to feed people the story of "the moderate vote is split up between buttigeig, klobuchar and biden... the moderates combined beat the progressives combined" even though the polls showed that people don't vote that way. So the MSM carefully laid the groundwork with that narrative and now it's DNC's turn to make their play. Boom, Klobuchar and Buttigieg out and everybody who the DNC can get their hands on coming out with an endorsement for Biden. Perfectly set up so that people wouldn't be able to question how suddenly Biden started performing DRASTICALLY better. Not only did the polls show that people don't vote that way, but also... it's Biden. It's scarier to me to think that the primaries weren't rigged and americans were actually stupid enough to vote for the senile pedophile with such high numbers.

When it comes to the mainstream media and democrats who actually have power there's a lot of fake progressivism and this whole ordeal helped put that on full display.
