Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumBiden was lifted up by the African American voters, not the "establishment".
Bernie and his campaign are railing against the "establishment" saying they were helping to support Biden.
Its utter bullshit.
Biden was struggling, had no money and as nichole wallace said on msnbc , would have been left like a roadkill on the side of the road if it had not been for Clyburn and the African American community coming in and lifting him up.
It was only at this stage post South Carolina that the more traditional Democrats started to endorse. It has now mushroomed into a roller coaster.

The Democratic "establishment" is not delivering wins for Biden tonight -- Democratic voters are doing it. Blacks, Latinos, suburban women, college educated and working class. It's insulting to these voters to suggest they are being coerced.https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287620709

(7,627 posts)The AA community is the soul of the party, its backbone.
When detractors use "establishment " , they mean smoke filled backrooms where the party bigwigs pull the strings.
