If you can stomach the leading/narrative driving questions clearly aimed at taking a dump on Sanders and facilitating answers that make him look bad regardless of how they're answered, as well as paint the DNC/Biden in a positive light:

Sanders represents the fringe Bernie or Bust left. Biden represents the shrinking traditional voters of the left. Trump is converting the Independents. The Democrat party is doomed.......

Nail on the head. This is one independent that's been converted.

 

It's very interesting, the contrast of populist movements. Trump's populist movement is actually an inclusive one, drawing in independents and moderates, along with moderate and stalwart Republicans. The left's populist movement (Sanders/AOC/etc.) is definitely comprised of people far more on the hard left end of the spectrum. 

 

I think people need to better understand Warren. She ideologically positions herself as a near-Bernie populist/leftist. However, being attuned to the intricacies of marketing tactics in the business world (which politics often takes from), I've seen this kind before:

 

Both parties, to keep people drawn into their power structure (because more parties, more competition on the outside, is bad for them), need to absorb grassroots movements lest they cause party implosion and neither of the two major parties want that. You see how the parties absorbed grassroots movements like Occupy Wall Street, Tea Party, and so on. Their power structure relies upon connections, and those connections help facilitate that power structure perpetuating itself.

 

What's obvious with Elizabeth Warren is, with the paragraph above and how it relates to the marketing thing above that.. over the past year or so, she's acted as a bridge between that party establishment and the current grassroots populist movement, trying to draw people back into the Democratic Party establishment. She is not the populist she plays on TV. Someone that's a pathological liar (the awesome way she just concocts these amazing victim stories that simply never happened, the way it minimizes actual victims, are inconsequential to a sociopath with zero conscience) that would LARP as another ethnicity and monetize it the way she has is someone would literally do anything (i.e. eat turds), which is why she's been perfect for the part. Modern politics relies on a reflexive public not having a long term memory, regular invocations of Hitler, Mussolini, etc. aside by the deranged. 

 

tl;dr-> She was doing the DNC's dirty work, basically, of trying to isolate+minimize Bernie (having numerous candidates stay in to keep his numbers low, have their media buddies play up how much worse Bernie is doing %'wise versus 2016), and absorb as many people from his populist movement as possible back into the Democrat establishment. Unfortunately, too many people are entirely oblivious to it, despite being in-your-face blatant, and happening with regularity. People are simply easily distracted by whatever misdirection that's thrown at them, and in marketing its these types of irrational behaviors that get exploited.

 

They're shrinking in a sense that the populist movement is growing and the establishment alienating people. What I look to is how bad is Bernie screwed by the DNC's gaming the candidates. If they manage to lug Biden across the finish line, how will that impact those voters getting screwed a second time by the party? More of them now say that if they get screwed again they'd just vote for Trump. It's not a % to take for granted, but to keep "party" power, the Dem establishment just might risk losing another election. Power, influence, and connections really means that much to these people.

Old Bernie is a push-over.  The DNC will buy him another "Summer Camp" and he will fade off into the sunset.

This seems the most likely of scenarios. 

 

No movement will survive without a leader that has a spine. 

 

The Dem Party has him cornered especially with the Russia garbage, along with their media friends, who keep trying to rattle Sanders by bringing it up. I advise anyone to watch all MSM interviews with Sanders. If you don't already know who the hacks are, you can tell really quick with the questions they ask. But because Sanders monetized the Russia nonsense himself, he can't just say the hoax pushed against him is false, but instead try to redirect it toward Trump.

 

It's amusing to watch, even more-so, any of the deranged left who talk up this Russia stuff with Trump while being skeptical of the same claims on Bernie. The way they handle the obvious cognitive dissonance is definitely something I pay attention to, because it tells you whether or not these people are out for the truth or out for their way. And time and time again since 2016, it's demonstrated to be the latter.

Another thing to notice -- Antifa. 

 

Since Trump won the media has done their best to stir up and facilitate the chaos of Antifa.

 

But now that this has translated to a stronger populist left movement, the media have been quite silent on them. Antifa and the same sympathetic left, whether its socialism, or anarcho-communism, overtly supports Sanders.

 

The media helped facilitate this kind of chaos and now has difficulty controlling it. 

 

But not to worry, as predictable as ever, if Trump wins again, they'll be right back to cozy up to Antifa and stir up/facilitate more chaos.

I think this deserves repeating.......from a Bloomberg article:

 

"Trump, who faces only token opposition for re-nomination, drew some 1.9 million votes in Texas, more than Bernie Sanders, Biden and Elizabeth Warren combined. He also enjoyed high turnout for his certain nomination in Iowa and New Hampshire."

That is what amazes me, the turnout for Trump in an essentially uncontested primary.

So Kamala Harris just endorsed Biden......that smells to high heaven......I think she clearly has a quid pro quo in the works.....imo.
