MODERATORS
I think it’s referring to the period when Berni was leading the Democrat primaries in 2020 and implying that Berni was unfairly treated to get Biden the nomination. And I guess maybe that potentially switching to Kamala is a continuation of the deceit.
How did they end up selecting Biden if Sanders (I assume that's who you mean) won and Biden was only fifth? Also seems like Biden wasn't all that popular if he was only fifth, which I guess was the point of the post.
Basically Sanders was winning because all the moderates were split between a few candidates (Biden among them). On the days leading up to "super Tuesday" when 4 big states had simultaneous primaries all the moderates besides Biden dropped and endorsed him and he was also endorsed by Jim Clyburn a major democratic player(also black).
The people who dropped and endorsed all got some position of power. So essentially, Biden played politics and won and many people don't like the politics he played.
Who's this "Berni"?
