Bold prediction: If Kamala wins, in 2028, she's going to drop out at the last minute before convention so that her hand picked successor becomes nominee just like Biden did. (hexbear.net)

This will be the Democrats' strategy to avoid another Bernie being in the primaries.

Oh there will be another.

Not to piss anybody off by implying bernie is anywhere near the left but it actually is wild somebody as far left as him got as far as he did before the dems completely neutered him.

They've done simillar hatchet jobs on far less progressive people. People still agree that it's weird everybody stopped supporting Dean after the scream, seemingly unaware of the fact people stopped supporting him because every media outlet in the country spent two weeks saying that voters lost faith and didn't think he was electable anymore.

They'll try this bait and switch again next time around if there's a candidate that suggests reducing fossil fuel production or increasing taxes on the rich, let alone M4A or any kind of social justice reforms.

Dems platforms have been screaming to the right the last couple cycles they learned their lesson and anybody to the left of Reagan is gonna get smothered in the crib as a matter of policy before the voters have an opportunity to build momentum.
