I’m really bummed about how her campaign turned out. I was really excited for her at first!!

I wonder who she’ll endorse

[windupbarbie]

Word on the street is she may endorse Biden in the hopes of becoming his VP, which makes honestly no sense since she's supposedly a "progressive" and that goes against what Biden is.

[sweet_heloise]

I think he'll choose the Michigan governor. She just endorsed him.

[green_monsterx]

isnt she a white lady?

i wont vote for joe regardless, but lmao if he chooses a white person as his running mate

[pikapika217]

Heartbroken but not surprised.

ETA, sidenote - I really want Bernie over Biden but I'm glad more people are talking about the entitlement of his white male fanbase in how they continue to treat people. It's not his fault or his job to make these grown men act like they have home training or know how to be civil but their determination for it to be him or nothing is very counterproductive

It's not just white men who aren't willing to vote for Biden.

[sugarstarfaerie]

It's not at all about not wanting to vote for Biden, it's about the vitriol and nastiness many white male Bernie supporters spewed and continue to spew towards anyone who has the slightest qualm about Bernie. And the way they demonized Liz was sooooo deeply misogynistic, but when confronted about it, they default to "Just because it's about a woman doesn't mean it's sexist!" No, but just because a woman deserves critique doesn't mean the criticism directed towards her isn't sexist.

Regardless, I wish "Liz to Biden" people would realize that most of Bernie's supporters aren't White Leftist I-Know-Better-Than-Women-and-POC-Because-I-Read-Marx's-Capital-and-Engel's-The-Origin-In-My-Intro-to-Sociology-of-Economy-Class Dudes, and vote for the policies they claim to believe in instead of... a senile segregationist.

I think you're taking OC's comment a different direction to make your own point. I don't think the sexism directed at Warren is relevant at all to the topic... I'm referring to the allegation that it's entitled white men who have the "determination for it to be [Bernie] or nothing" when that's not the only demographic who feels that way.

Wow that superPAC was super helpful and necessary then

[iznanassi]

It was for feminism!

[sweet_heloise]

That superPAC did what it was supposed to. Prevent Bernie from winning ST states.

[laydownhere]

warren did abysmally among the voters sanders needed, she siphoned from biden if anything.

[musicnkisses]

Okay, who’s she endorsing though?

[browneyedguuurl]

Biden for sure

[brennans]

this should have been done a couple days ago. hope she endorses bernie, but we'll see.

[aristobrit]

She will, but she won't do it before the next states vote most likely. After they vote he will be the clear leader and then she'll probably give him the nod.

The MSNBC analyst, Steve Kornacki, said that Biden has such a huge lead that there's no way Bernie can catch him, even if he wins Michigan. Biden will still get a good number of those delegates and combined with the southern, midwest states and Texas, there's no way Bernie can win. He will be mathematically eliminated in March, the same way he was in 2016.
