    something made them not worry about this guy being too progressive

    You keep making stuff up and hoping it’ll stick.

    They dropped out because he was trouncing them in the polls. DNC did not want him to do well, but they cannot deny how well he’s doing.

    Which goes to my entire point at the start of this thread. DNC has been holding back progressive candidates with the argument that they aren’t electable. If this guy runs as a progressive and wins, something 5 traditional democrats were unable to do, it only goes to show the DNC has been wrong this whole time about what is electable.

      The DNC isn’t holding back progressives because it thinks they will lose. It is holding them back because they WILL WIN and the people that pay them don’t want to see them get elected. The fact that you haven’t figured this out tells me all I need to know about you.

        You’re a trip buddy. I agree with the sentiment. DNC is “saying” progressives can’t win and is holding them back. I feel like we finally found some common ground here.
