MODERATORS
In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I'm not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of 'DNC sabotaged Bernie'
The way I remember it Bernie didn’t have enough votes before everyone dropped out.
no, he had just won two primaries in a row. Everyone but Biden, Bernie, and Warren dropped out. Warren was just as beholden to the DNC as the rest of them, but she stayed in specifically to split the progressive vote, in order to catapult the flailing Biden into pole position. It was clear as day, a coordinated effort to stop Bernie from being the Democratic candidate.
Don't forget the part where everyone dropping out endorsed Biden right after. Another funny case was Buttigieg, who was doing well after the first few primaries, even won some, but then just decided to drop out.
