Because they want us all to smell their Twitter farts. If Biden wins they will disappear in to their own little world until the next presidential election and then they will come out with the usual hypocrisy.
I cant help but think the left are most worried that a Bernie win makes Kamala 2024 (and potentially 2028) seem very likely rather than their hopes of AOC somehow winning the nomination - I think Harris will actually suffer more blue on blue attacks from the progressive wing than she will from the republicans
The base as you call it never chose Harris. Harris did pretty bad in the primaries.
Probably
What I am saying is they are moaning when they don't have the numbers. Did they really think Biden would fill up his cabinet with people from the left of the party? The party to me, appears to be more in line with Biden than with Sanders or AOC and some simply can't get over that fact.
Sadly yes some on the left(Most likely both Sanders and AOC)are that stupid.
There was people hopeful with AOC being on some pointless committee board, Bernie getting something in talks with the Biden team and the idea of Warren possible as VP. The fact Sanders is constantly talking shite about the progressive potential of a Biden presidency clearly showed some one believed in Biden.
The only way to ensure influence is to win or to gather enough numbers to stop legislation. The left side of the democratic party have pretty insignificant numbers to move anything and that is their problem.
My thoughts as well.
There's ways to do this without sounding like a complete moron
The DNC average platform would be called 'progressive conservative' if it ran anywhere in Canada. (Yep, that's thing here: economically conservative and somewhere between not fussed and progressive on social issues.)
The Warren VP people (Mehdi Hasan, Robert Reich) are now saying Senate Majority Leader
I wonder if they can be bargained down to Massachusetts senator. The Bernie-will-pull-him-left people seem to have shut up for a while, they're also little piggies who would be delighted with a hair sniff from Biden.
The air is cold, so cold it's possible to see ones breath and the room is dark, with a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling acting as the only light source. Sanders eyes begin to widen, unable to move his legs he realizes the tall shadowy figure facing him.
I think this is exactly what's I've been hammering on as well before in here and that is the simple notion that you can't just cite graphs showing the country is moving further left and then conclude that means we re becoming a progressive heaven.
I guess that's fair on Harris, but we've also seen people question Rice, make fun of Pete, and postulate on how idiotic making Warren [insert position here] will be.
