There are some other things transpiring in American politics right now. But we must note that Democratic leaders are now unabashedly stating what Bernie Sanders supporters said over and over in 2020: the party pushed Joe Biden primarily to stop Bernie.
Of course the corporate democratic side of the house wouldn't want Bernie. He was a threat to the status quo and they couldn't have that. Shifting money back to the middle class from the ultra rich? But it's the ultra rich that keep bank rolling them. How could they possibly go against that? Instead they discredited an honest, good guy who actually espouses the values out of their good book.
I just wish they could get on message and get in lock step about a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. It's the only reason the right is successful at this point. Yep, their policies are garbage, but look at them rally around their trash fire and start dancing to the drums.
Yeah, how is this a shock to people? If they can't have their own neoliberals in office, they would absolutely prefer to lose to another neoliberal than win with a progressive.
