SAN FRANCISCO - The liberal wing of the Democratic Party launched a sudden volley of attacks against presidential candidate Joe Biden and his allies over the weekend, showing a new urgency to wrest control of the party from moderate forces that had seized an advantage in recent months.
Some of the most scathing, if veiled, admonitions came Sunday from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who repeatedly condemned "middle ground" policy ideas and appeared to criticize Biden for not attending a Democratic gathering where Sanders and 13 other White House hopefuls spoke.
"We cannot go back to the old ways," Sanders warned in a speech at the California Democratic Party convention here, as supporters cheered and waved signs bearing his name. "We have go to go forward with a new and progressive agenda."
On Saturday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., delivered a fierce rebuke of Biden's professed faith that Republicans will be more cooperative once President Donald Trump is out of office. The crowd showered her with loud cheers.

Biden is VP material...make room for Mooshell and Hitlery!
Democrats want to destroy their political opponents, not find common ground.
Give Democrats enough power and we will see imprisonment and murder of dissenters
Exactly! Let the lessers carve each other up. It’s a losing strategy for the general election, but a winning strategy for the nomination.
dems have suddenly turned on perverts? ‘Thought he’d be their perfect candidate.
Odungo doesn’t back him.
..he’s white...he’s old...
..he’s not gay as a hyena
While so many were ready to coronate Biden, I was saying that he will not be the Democratic nominee. 20+ other candidates want the job and they did not even start to attack him yet.
Secondly, Biden is his own worst enemy....a gaffe machine that the press cannot protect.
What we see here is just the beginning.
What moderate forces in the Democratic Party?
So Biden is what counts for centrist, eh? Arent they adorable...
U.S. Senators almost to a person generally make for awful presidential candidates. Biden is a perfect example of this. Hes no moderate. He just has the ability to paint himself that way because hes been all over the map on every issue over the course of his inconsequential political career.
...same,going to be awhile,tire easily,just standing,three hours of actvity, equals two hours nap. Thanks for asking
“So Biden is what counts for centrist, eh? Arent they adorable...”
I thought this was funny...” The liberal wing of the Democratic Party...”
They’re all a bunch of wackos in their own way.
Hang in there Gropey Joe we need you as the rats’ gaff machine. Now get out there and sniff some hair!
Centrist Democrat = Misnomer
He is a neutral placeholder so that the Obama, AOC, and Clinton wings can hash it out later over whom they really want.

Sorry, Joe. The AOC brigades are taking you down, and it’s gonna be brutal.
Democrat party yes. Democratic? Hardly
In the polls each backer of Kamala, Butti, Klobochar, etc. backs one Dem candidate vs. Trump. When the said backer’s candidate drops out, enthusiasm for whoever is left is likely to wane, like the Bernie backers in 2016.
