The organized takedown of Bernie by the DNC.
It's no coincidence that Klobuchar and Buttigieg both dropped out and endorsed Biden; we know that Obama gave Pete a call and I'm confident that Amy got one as well. Why else would she drop out one day before the primary in her home state?
And it appears to be working...

Ever stop to consider that some of your assessments of "broken system" are universally shared across the aisle ... it's just that you and others have blindly embraced a con man who's far worse than any of the institutional issues that need repair?

No surprise to see all of the idiots in the south vote against their own best interest this evening. Biden is wrong on all of the issues and largely spent his life fucking the little guy he loves so much. If Biden winds up with the nomination, the democrats will have secured the election of trump.
Also, I hope everyone sees the irony of Pete endorsing a man that wouldnt even allow him to marry. What a fucking uncle tom. Bet that dude isnt even gay. Not to mention Klobuchar supporting a guy that has pants raped his way through life. Seriously, has Biden ever met a woman he wouldnt grope?

He is not Bernie Sanders.
"He is not Bernie Sanders."
In the South Carolina primary last weekend, exit polls showed that Biden won a smashing victory primarily thanks to one person: House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, the most powerful Democrat in the state, who endorsed Biden just days before the primary. After that win, both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropped out and endorsed Biden, as did his former opponent Beto O'Rourke and several other Democratic officials.
But this flash coronation wasn't because Biden convinced his competitors that he had the best policies or the best temperament to take on Donald Trump. There is one reason and one reason alone the establishment has rallied around Biden: He is not Bernie Sanders.

Joe Biden’s Big Night Won’t Be Enough To Solve Democrats’ Bernie Sanders Problem
What the headlines and the narrative won’t tell you is what any casual survey of the Democratic primary map plainly shows: Super Tuesday didn’t solve the Democratic Party’s Bernie Sanders problem.
Yes, Biden had a good night, but so did Sanders. He won Colorado, Vermont, and Utah, as well as the biggest prize of the night, California, and basically fought Biden to a draw in Texas. He also earned enough votes to pick up delegates in every state Biden won—and he did all this with Sen. Elizabeth Warren siphoning off voters who would otherwise have voted for him, while Biden benefited immensely from the eleventh-hour consolidation of the moderate vote and the endorsements of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, and Beto O’Rourke.
Indeed, Tuesday was the best possible outcome for Biden. Not only did his moderate rivals drop out of the race and rally to his banner at the last second, the primary calendar played in his favor, with a cluster of more diverse southern states all going on the same day.
For Sanders, all of these factors had the opposite effect, compounded by a distorted media narrative. Absent the expectations that had been set from the first three nominating contests in February in which Sanders overperformed, Tuesday would have been hailed as a great night for the Sanders campaign. His victory in California alone is game-changing, to say nothing of his strong performance in Texas.
As the smoke of Super Tuesday clears, Biden and Sanders are locked in a battle for delegates, and at this point it’s very unlikely either will have a majority going into the Democratic National Convention in July.
What’s more, the list of upcoming primary states is more white, less diverse, and therefore more favorable to Sanders. Next week, Sanders will most likely win Washington and Michigan, which have more than 200 delegates between them. Then on March 17 comes Illinois, Ohio, and Florida, the latter of which boasts 219 delegates.

This contest has the potential to be the most intense and absorbing political contest in my lifetime.

Just imagine what it would've been like if California hadn't joined the Super Tuesday crowd.
It's nice to feel relatively relevant.
