Fair enough, but all candidates dropping to form the super-mutant-centrist two days before super tuesday is... hard to come by as a singular event. That none of the candidates would even dare to stay in the race for their ego is at least a little bit surprising. Of course the underlying material force created the already fucked up playing field, but if he came out on top on super tuesday it would be much more difficult. It's still an amazing show of force versus the slightest bit of social democracy and social movements peering up under the rug.
I think Bernie was close to winning a bit more. The thing is that sequential battles mean that there is a high path dependency. Leftists and mainstream think as is the result was clear when the numbers are proportional very skewed in the end, however it is important to understand in which way effects of previous influence the late events.
This means you have to make lists, see who lives where who might vote and what their self engagement potential is. Same for organizing, you have to have people themselves do their work, but also make sure you will get to everyone who matters for the campaign.
