Honestly, I've long thought that he may have just been in it for the money. He'll give speeches, write a few books.....

are soon parted. One would think all these "young" people would decide it might be better to apply those contributions to their debts.
Perhaps it's like poor people spending too much on lottery tickets hoping they'll hit the big one.

Outside of bloomberg who doesn't really count, Bernie has raised the most money, including dark money, of any dem candidate. And he still can't win must-win states.

Next tuesday, he will lose 4 big races by a blowout.

He has no path forward, other than grifting and trying to damage biden so he can try again in 4 years.

Are his close friends owning a tiny company without considerable contracts from anyone else getting those millions of provisions for ad sales again?

Plus he has relatives including his son, who are on the payroll. He walked away in 2016 much richer than he was before he ran.

This has gone beyond mere hubris, this isn't about "having voices heard", this isn't about getting platform changes...hell he got that in 2016, I think he and his staff are hoping to cripple Biden during the debate on Sunday. I may be wrong but given Sirota's tweets this morning I seriously doubt I'm wrong.
