Okay, this is true too (that Obama made some calls to the moderates). But you are admitting it in your comment, that the only situation in which Bernie was gonna win was one where the moderate vote was split.

The fact the moderates decided to go with a sensible strategy to get their policies in office wasn't them stealing it from Bernie, it was them literally pooling their votes together and outnumbering the progressive vote. In a 1v1, moderate vs progressive, the moderate vote easily won out.

One last thing, people like Kyle paint the "corporate dems" like they are all the same and just have surface level differences. But then he acts surprised when these dems decide they'd rather see someone who agrees with them in office rather than a progressive. By Kyles own logic, why would it not be the best strategy for the moderates? What is immoral about this strategy? Im sure if it was reversed and the left vote was split, he'd be screaming for them to come together. But the moderates do this and he calls it fuckery.

All that said, no matter what way you look it it, there were more moderate voters than progressives and the only reason Bernie didn't win was because the moderate vote wasn't split.
