That's not what happened.
The Democratic power structure got in a room and had Sanders, Warren and some others who were leading in polls off and on and winning primaries were told to dropout and they did.
Joe wasn't the guy with the skillset he's just the guy the power brokers decided was the best mascot to get behind based on connections with Obama and his history in the party, not his skillset.
This is pedantic.
A woman was not beating Trump.
A guy talking about socialism was not beating Trump.
Stop talking about what ifs and what could've been. Talk about what happened.
The people within the Democratic power structure are smarter AND more experienced than you breh and they did NOT have faith in Warren and Bernie.
It's not a great political conspiracy. It's not Game of Thrones. Biden didn't pay people off. They did not trust that a female or a quasi-socialist could beat MAGA so they bet on a straight vanilla white man to do it. Him being connected to Obama made it that much easier to sell. The End.
