Wasn’t 2020 the year when all of the primary candidates but Biden just decided to drop out before super Tuesday in order to not split the vote against Bernie? In my opinion it was worse than 2016.

I mean I lived through it. It’s also to be seen on the Wikipedia page. Initially Buttigieg was doing really well, but “for some reason” dropped out and endorsed Biden. Later on, just before the super Tuesday, also Warren and Bloomberg dropped out and endorsed Biden.

At that time it felt more dramatic (probably because media was very anti-Bernie), which is not visible in the statistics.

I see.

Well, that wasn’t my experience, but I think we’d both have preferred Bernie, andboth think the DNC is weighted way too far on the center/center-right.
