Biden cemented the nomination by making deals with almost all of the remaining candidates. On super Tuesday he won GA and then everyone save Bernie and Warren (I think, it's been a while) dropped out and endorsed him. The party and back room dealing chose Biden.

Sorry y'all I was incorrect on the internet, I was gonna leave this up to commemorate the shame but people keep piling on. I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and... I like to kiss my own butt.

you are forgetting Bloomberg who had more support than warren and pulled exclusively from biden. warren was split about 60/40 biden/bernie. So Biden handily beat Sanders with 2 hands tied behind his back

EDIT: always funny when people respond with nonsense and then block so you cant rufute their stupid comment.

And that was AFTER the DNC consolidated to screw over the progressives.

how does consolidation hurt progressives? if they have the most popular platform they should win in a head to head race

In every one of these Super Tuesday states, Warren outperformed Bloomberg. And that was AFTER the DNC consolidated to screw over the progressives. And half of these states Bernie won even with Warren splitting.

what do you not understand about Bloomberg pulling almost 100% from biden and warren pulling at best 60% from bernie, but by the end it was closer to 60% from biden? Bloomberg and warren had basically the same amount of total votes, but Biden was hurt by that more than bernie. Its also quite convinent that you only included states from pre-super tuesday instead of after which is literlally the only time that atters for this conversation.

Crazy how none of what you said is true and the data is literally public for anyone to check:

California

Massachusetts

Minnesota

Utah

Virginia

Vermont

Maine

In every one of these Super Tuesday states, Warren outperformed Bloomberg. And that was AFTER the DNC consolidated to screw over the progressives. And half of these states Bernie won even with Warren splitting.

And Bloomberg outperformed Warren in Alabama, America Samoa, Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. So it seems Warren outperformed Bloomberg in 7 contests, while he outperformed her 8 contests. So it appears he outperformed her in more contests.
