out of the race. Democratic establishment did what they said they were going to do. People were inspired with medicare for all. I heard one story about someone scared about medical bills and that was enough to send this canadian to Bernie for a bit. Bloomberg came in and people sat with what that meant till they saw him debate. In the end there were more center left people. And when they consoladated the vote behind Biden that was it. All done openly with no rapt coronation. People just want Trump gone and to git her done. When Bernie could not even deliver the votes of his young base in the primaries, he had no legs to stand on. Biden then delivered and delivered and delivered. Democrats should be proud of how we did this. Yes there was anger but most everyone never lost sight of the goal.
