So why do you think Biden dropped out?

That is a rare case of listening to constituents. You are right. Usually, they listen to donors over voters.

It’s not a rare case they had no choice. Biden was a guaranteed loss.

Losing just 5% of voters makes enough of a difference for the Democrats to change policy.

They listen to their donors, but in the end they cannot do that if they don’t get enough votes to get in power.
