They have the same hollow policies. The difference is that Pete isn’t a dying, demented old man. Not to mention that he did well in the early primary states.

I don’t get the DNC.

    I think it’s also partially about the makeup of the states that vote on Super Tuesday. It’s mostly Southern states and black voters. Pete definitely wasn’t strong enough with that subset of voters to bet the farm on. If the Midwest voted on Super Tuesday instead, we might have Pete as the nominee.

    Also I’m sure the DNC was concerned with Pete’s sexuality hurting him with the conservative voters they care so much about.

        I think they thought Biden was the best non-Bernie candidate they had against Bernie and that was more important than beating Trump.
