And then they did some things to change the rules to coordinate with the Clinton campaign to stop Bernie Sanders from winning.

And I believe and many Sanders supporters believe that he would have been the nominee without that

Same thing in 2020.

Fewer things that kind of elicit behind the scenes that we know about, although I'm sure there were some, but just the rules of the game.

And then on the eve of the biggest voting day to determine who the nominee would be, Super Tuesday, Barack Obama and others worked to get two establishment candidates out of the race, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, to make sure that Joe Biden could beat Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday.

Without that extraordinary intervention, Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, well said.

At least the nominee, now they believe he would have been president and would have beaten Donald Trump.

So yeah, right.

But certainly the Democratic nominee.

So they go into 2024 believing that twice their agenda, including a different policy towards Israel,

was stymied by the establishment illicitly, improperly using corporate interests and the leverage of the establishment and the party structure to stop Bernie Sanders.

And in 2024, Joe Biden's the nominee because he's the incumbent president, supported by many members of the establishment, some members of the progressive movement, drops out, hands it off to Kamala Harris.

And so if you're a young progressive and you voted for the first time in the 2016 Democratic primaries,

You've now gone a decade feeling like every time there's a presidential election in this country, the progressives are screwed.

They're not given a voice.

They're not given an opportunity to take their positions, including hostility to Israel, and make that the platform of the party.

From a position of the left, the Biden-Harris administration was damn supportive of Israel.
