Hoping a Sanders presidency can embolden the kinds of actions described in the latter stages of this piece (it's certainly what I thought Corbyn as PM could've done).

xp Yeah it's not a surprise, it's just a stark reminder how important it is the Dem party elite not make any unforced errors that will depress turnout among the base.

Although that's not what I do, it makes more sense to me in the context of an artistic medium that someone chooses to enjoy in their private life as opposed to who they want running the executive branch of the federal government. xp

I've been wrong a million times before but if Warren did drop out (and I hope she doesn't), I would be absolutely shocked if she endorsed anyone besides Bernie. I suppose she may just withhold an endorsement altogether, but I really can't fathom her endorsing Klobuchar.

I feel like there is something particular about US political culture that fosters this kind of thinking, idk what. People will go off about Trudeau being hot or whatever but I haven't seen anyone publicly fantasize about being in bed with him or hanging out with him at a difficult time and give that as a reason for voting for him (or Singh or Scheer or Ford or Legault. I don't pay the closest attention to UK politics but I don't imagine people are tweeting that stuff about or Corbyn or May or Johnson or Khan or whoever?) 2xp

Not much explains some of Warren's recent actions besides nursing some personal grudge against Bernie that's brewed up in the last couple of months. I don't expect her to endorse him.

The Sanders cult has a way of pushing even the closest potential allies away, but Warren endorsing anyone put Sanders, when Sanders is the most likely nominee, would get her nothing.

She seemed to pretty honestly believe Sanders was being disingenuous about their meeting, and that he was calling her a liar on stage, and I can see how that would piss anyone off. But 538 has Klobuchar at less than 1% for winning the nomination...
― Frederik B, Friday, 14 February 2020 14:46 (four years ago) link
Oh, we're still talking about that? I wondered if something major had happened more recently.

0.1%. Warren is still 20 times better off than Klobuchar, apparently?
