I don't know why they didn't go with Bernie. Bernie was the closest to Biden in terms of primary delegates, and the student Red Guard types were enthusiastic about him. Most of the rioters are commie Bernie-bots. It makes no sense to me to coalesce around the allegedly more moderate and senile Biden, especially as he has embraced all of Bernie's positions.
If you delivered Bernie as the candidate...you’d repeat the McCain situation where a quarter of Republicans hated McCain to such a degree that he could not win....Bernie isn’t exactly a guy that draws rank-and-file working-class Democrats.
Look back at the county-by-county voting patterns for past six elections. Bernie wasn’t going to carry in rural areas at all.
That's why Obie Wan Commie was successful. No record plus soaring rhetoric. Any politician running on the D brand/machine starts with 45%. Pull in some gullible independents and *bam* you're measuring the drapes in the WH.
RATs will vote for the brand. They just need to pull in some gullible indys with the "Do I look like a Commie?" schtick. Plus...you're voting for the first POC woman prez.
Joe was the best choice of a thin field.

Perhaps they ran the numbers.
Bernie lost some support for not being radical enough in public. I posit there aren’t enough committed B-bots left to make up the difference in the popular vote. Progs need the middle. Biden with Bernie’s platform and Kamala as back up was their solution.
Also, Bernie is easily characterized as crazy and he had a recent heart attack on the record. Biden’s aneurysms were both in the past.
