I was simply trying to explain a dynamic. Saying they can go fuck themselves is not really helpful in this discussion-lol.

Still laughing. You have a way with words.

My statement about enduring the wrath of the progressives should not incur emotional derision, it should stimulate questions. The left and right of the Democratic party are at war. Good lord the establishment Dems just used a nuclear bomb on the progressives-lol. And it looks like the progressives will lose another battle and be set back once again. Both of our leaders have fallen and if Warren switches sides the progressives are in no mood for having insult added to injury-lol.

In the end the progressive will win the day as most people under 50 are very progressive and e.g. really dislike Biden. And most of Biden's support comes from people over 50 who are dying off and the more conservative wing of the party, who are also dying off.

The progressives will win the day, but in the future, but probably not the presidency-lol. But if Biden picks Stacy Abrahms they might win it sooner than the next election.

And where did Biden win? He won the low information areas of the country i.e. the South and rural areas, and ironically areas we will not win in the general. Bernie won the high information areas of the country i.e. the north east and west coast and big cities and college towns.

That is an observation worth considering :)>.

But the right and left have been at war for a while. The progressives are still upset that Warren did not endorse Bernie in 2016. And this race is now just like 2016, except it is Biden now instead of Hillary and progressives do not like Biden any more than they liked Hillary because they don't think he will take on the oligarchs and fight income inequality, or fight for medicare for all, or free education and getting rid of student debt, or legalize pot, or The New Green deal. These issues are important to progressives.

And progressives expect Warren to fight for progressive ideas and the progressive movement, if she wants their support. That is how politics works.

negative... she is being pragmatic

I am very liberal and progressive, I agree with all of Warren's agenda to move our society forward. Away from the greed, corruption, inequality, and outright racism/bigotry. Ya know, one can be liberal/progressive and yet still be pragmatic. I have stated I would have preferred her as POTUS over either bernie or biden.

This is an extreme statement: ...If she does not endorse Bernie, she will have to give up that title and have to endure the wrath of the progressive movement as a fake.

This is what alienates the bernie extremists... also, some of the bernie bros are not really liberal... I remember very well some of the bernie bro howlers back in 2016 who repeated every Hillary derangement syndrome conspiracy crap when their messiah was not chosen... I don't put you in that category of course... but they are out there, and they helped give us orange shitler

anyone who pouts or moans over Warren not falling on her sword for bernie can go fuck themselves IMO

Why would Warren endorse Bernie if she sees Biden will become the nominee? to further divide the dems and re-elect Trump??
