Anyone visited Daily Kos lately?

I drifted away from the site a few years back. Looks like Markos has given up on Bernie. The comments section is mostly posters who actually thought Bernie was the best hope to beat Trump. It's a pretty glum bunch. Some of them are repeating the Sirota's lies. Given a little time I think they will come around.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Those who won’t, won’t. No matter how much the party kisses their ass. They have never been or no longer are Democrats.

3. Yes, I've been reading kos and r/politics since SC primary

Kos was a Warren supporter who doesn't agree with Bernie's way of "my way or the highway". Kos has since posted a few posts against Bernie since Warren dropped out. I would say kos (the site overall) is about half and half regarding Bernie.

r/politics, on the other hand, is full on with Bernie. On super Tuesday, they only upvoted the states Bernie won and downvoted every states that Biden won. There were numerous post asking why the news said Biden did well but they couldn't see anything but Bernie's win there. Also, there is a whole lots of Bernie bros type of comments (with snakes emoji for Warren and senile attacks on Biden). Every other types of response other than Bernie is god is downvoted to be hidden. r/politics was the first time I've seen the real Bernie bros craziness.

5. Kos was mostly behind Warren. Of course they're glum.

It seems to me now that it’s about half and half Biden and Bernie.
