Prediction: Bernie is Going to Drop Out
This is my third diary on this topic. Each time I said I expected Bernie to stick it out through the debate and the March 17th primaries, and then he would leave the race. There were two reasons: First, he wanted to push Biden more to the left, and second, he wanted to show his…
Bernie Is Preparing to Drop Out
Yesterday I posted this diary, Prediction: Bernie Drops Out After Next Tuesday, in which I argued that Bernie was going to stay in long enough to have his one-on-one debate with Biden, and to have one more primary vote, and after that he would suspend his campaign. Now WaPo’s The Fix is saying the same…
Will Bernie Suspend After Next Tuesday?

Still, he is an old man with a heart history who is running for the most stressful job in…
Bernie Sanders Pushes Back Against “Corporate Wing of the Democratic Party”
Original diary title was click-bait, needlessly inflammatory and did not accurately reflect the contents of the diary. Title edited by Admin. As someone who supported Bernie Sanders’s failed 2016 presidential bid, I find it disheartening to see Bernie trying to smear Elizabeth Warren via Twitter: x The cat is out of the bag. The corporate…
'OPERATION DIVIDE THE LEFT': Recent assault on Democratic candidates traced to 200 suspect accounts
A team of analysts at Politico found a small group of 200 accounts—specifically these guys—drove a “disproportionate” amount of racist and negative disinformation, over a 30-day period, targeting four Democratic presidential candidates for 2020: Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke. In fact, between 2-15% of all Twitter mentions concerning these…
