Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Why Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Will Win the Presidency with Robert Reich [View all]Gothmog
(147,275 posts)164. Some sanders supporters are really pushing this concept
There are some who are pushing this concept to prevent a "neo-liberal from becoming the nominee https://theintercept.com/2020/01/09/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-progressives-delegate-count/
We cannot sit on the sidelines as we watch this primary play out and allow a neoliberal be elected, said Ana María Archila, co-president of Center for Popular Democracy Action, explaining CPDAs endorsement of Sanders in December. If we stay divided, the corporate Democrats will pick the nominee. Nathan J. Robinson, editor of Current Affairs magazine and a Sanders supporter who has repeatedly made the case for harsher criticism of Warren, made a similar point: Bernie represents a historic opportunity that must not be missed. If people sit on the fence for it, Biden may very well win this primary.
