That’s literally just politics. Apply the same logic to the recent french elections where competing left-wing candidates dropped out to not split the vote.
Nothing was stopping Bernie from making a deal with Amy and Pete to stay in the race to keep the centrist vote split
And see, that’s the problem people complain about. They are doing bad politics by ganging up to the candidate that’s gaining support from the people who are looking for someone different. Those people end up in Trump’s camp when the Ds can only offer more corporate elites.
Why is that bad politics, but dividing 60% of the democratic centerists amongs Biden, Klob, and Pete to achieve victory good politics?
Aren’t you alienating the largest portion of the base who will feel cheated that their candidate only lost because the race was too crowded with centrists?
If it was biden making a deal then that’s one thing. I don’t think that’s what happened. I think the DNC power players or donors said ‘we don’t want Bernie’ and the rest of the group fell in line.
If that was the case then Buttigege would have just been threatend funding wise and wouldn’t have needed to be offered a cabinet position, which only Biden had the power to give.

This gives the same energy as saying “it’s just business” after doing some heinous shit.
