I thought this was a good take on the WFP kerfuffle / the Sanders/Warren conflict more generally even if I don't agree with quite all of it myself

lol a Sanders supporter writing this? When Sanders and Warren both have problems attracting multiracial working class votes and Biden still (for the moment) holds the support of black Americans? OK.

I think it’s fair to assume the membership vote went for Sanders, otherwise the WFP would release it.
Sadlol.

87% to not winning a straight members vote is...I mean not impossible but seems kinda unlikely esp given the circumstances. I don't see how it's an unfair assumption at all

Do you have the results from 2015, because I'm not sure that number is verified?
― Frederik B, Thursday, 19 September 2019 21:48 (four years ago) link
And in no way is it weird that Sanders would get 87% when his only opponent was Clinton, to losing to Warren. Come on.

gonna be wild as hell if he starts winning or coming in a close second in IA, NH, & NV. i've got nothing but *my feeeeelings* to support this but i do think he'll outperform his current polling.

from a Salon story, though they don't cite a source tbf
According to the group, Warren defeated Sanders in a vote of WFP members and leadership, earning 61% compared to Sanders’s 36%. But that verdict isn't quite as clear as it sounds. Curiously or otherwise, WFP has so far declined to provide a breakdown of the votes — as it did following the 2016 endorsement when 87% of the members voted for Sanders.
― Simon H., Thursday, 19 September 2019 22:09 (four years ago) link
It's not strictly speaking true as far as I can see. They sent an internal email not meant for publication with that number, but that was unofficial. And in 2015, they only had a membership vote, then the board confirmed they were going to endorse Sanders. That number, 87%, is a lot similar to the 80% that apparently voted for either Warren or Sanders. And yeah, since it ended up being 36% Sanders to 61% Warren, that means the leadership clearly impacted the result. But they dragged it to the left. There's not really any reason to doubt that the membership went for Warren as well, after all, she is the more popular of the two candidates.

Watch the town hall at Bennett College held today, if nothing else just for the opening from Nina Turner and the closing from Killer Mike, both of whom spit straight fire.
The panel they have also have Cornel West, Adolph Reed, and Danny Glover

Yes @NateSilver538 called People of Color supporting @BernieSanders residue with great ease. Where, I say where are the folks who usually call out racism? I know where they are.

Pretty pathetic that Nina Turner is lying like that. The campaign is kinda going off the rails at the moment.

Not sure Bernie should get credit for having more diverse support than last time given that he has far less support than last time. A lot of voters have left him. White liberals have been particularly likely to leave him (for Warren) so the residue of what's left is more diverse. https://t.co/RKXBGl6sL9— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) September 22, 2019
