Amy Klobuchar is out.
It's time for Warren to exit the race, or forever be an enemy to the progressive movement. She is only helping Biden at this point.
Check out the replies there, too.
Editing again to comment on the ridiculously melodramatic wording used by some Sanders supporters.
Warren will FOREVER BE AN ENEMY to the progressive movement, sez this one.
And another one, a journalist, just predicted the Democratic Party would be RIPPED APART PERMANENTLY if Sanders doesn't get the nomination.

I find the hyperbole more than a little bizarre, and childish.

(58,785 posts)out of spite against the Democratic Party in 2016. No accident that Trump's and Sanders' are heavily interchangeable; most are somewhat to strongly socially conservative and can support either depending on who seems mostly likely to succeed. Those claiming to be progressive and/or socialist at the time turned the nation over to big-money-serving Republicans they knew had a mandate to eliminate progressive government, and some of his so-called LW socialists voted directly for RW fascistic Trump.
And they promise to do it again if Sanders fails to take over the Democratic Party for them, proving again that it's not about progressivism or any other valid ideology for them, it's about destructive acting out of their hostility. They like Sanders and Trump because they created mobs for them to join, and since then both leaders have been busily feeding and growing their red-in-tooth-and-claw followings as much as possible.

(8,311 posts)... "people who aren't doing their candidate any favors".
Your mileage may vary, but FWIW I've never seen the alliterative version you may be thinking. More often if that particular B word is involved, it's out of the mouth of a "Bernie supporter" (placed in quotes because they may or may not actually be, and probably aren't.)

(58,785 posts)Sanders is gathering together a really nasty wannabe mob, and of course he needs more, and Trump's camp is where they are.
As it is, whatever messages Sanders team has been sending them has made them very arrogant and full of themselves. I've seen a lot of hostile boasts that the electorate has no choice but to be run over by them and give way to their "agenda."

(1,736 posts)It's an intentionally inflammatory name. No legitimate political scientist uses it.
Warren should definitely stay in the race and contest Biden, Sanders, Bloomberg, and Gabbard for the nomination. She has a lot of support and should be considered a serious contender like Biden and Sanders are.
Hyperbolic partisans shouldn't be quoted as if they're the norm because they are not the norm.

(1,736 posts)It's like the term soccer mom, erasing voters of color in a voter demographic. As a bonus, the term also invites scorn towards younger voters.
There's plenty of reasons to oppose Bernie Sanders or to call out partisan hyperbole when it happens. We don't have to invent stereotypes to do so.

BS isn't owed the nomination and he either wins or he doesn't. Suck.It.Up
And frankly, what's overlooked is...outside of his fan group no one who has had to try to work with him doesn't like him... So why would they support him?
