Sabotaged by Sanders: Biden is boxed in by Bernie’s antipathy toward middle America | Mulshine

Joe Biden is only now starting to realize that those demonstrators in the Democratic-run cities are not helping his chances of ever becoming president

Containing the immortal phrase:

"The devil in question is Bernie Sanders, and he forced Biden to go so far to the left that he may not be able to make it back to the middle"

    nothing but complete collapse of the party will teach these people anything and they will probably take the wrong lesson from that too

      You say "teach" like they're simply unaware of why they're losing, you're taking them at their word when they say they blame Bernie and the left, they don't. They know full well Bernie and the left is popular, they have access to the same polling over Bernie's proposals that we do. Their job is to make Bernie seem unpopular and dangerous so he doesn't gain ground in the party and threaten the power dynamics they all currently benefit from.

          I think Nancy Pelosi wouldn't mind losing at all, her job in the party is just to secure big dollar fundraising, and losing in 2020 helps that mission by keeping a clear danger to democracy in power, thus scaring more people into donating more, but I think most of the non-psychopath Democrats and their voters would prefer to win and suffer through a disappointing Biden presidency where we all get to bully Democrats for the next 4 years without Trump to blame.
