Honesty? Realism? A sense of the bigger picture? I'm still looking for the exact term. (This is a reaction to the vast display of "support Ukraine" flag-waving you can see on social media at this moment.)

To focus the mind, let's look at this Bernie Sanders tweet again:

In case anyone thought that the problem with the Democratic Party was limited to Biden and his associates, here's Sabrina Salvati discussing the Congressional Black Caucus:

Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be “irresponsible” for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who “sit on their hands” in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump’s reelection.

Well then:

So, Steyer dropped out! The race competition narrows!

Yes, Steyer is a billionaire, but his thing is the environment. It is very possible a lot of his backers might now support Bernie because of that.

UPDATE: The latest Point Blank Political Poll for California shows Bernie above both Biden and Warren by 20 points. Very large sample size (more than 2,200).

FiveThirtyEight is now showing a significant bump in Bernie's chances to secure the nomination at the convention.

You may recall in an essay I wrote 12 days ago that FiveThirtyEight was predicting Sanders would win only 3 states--New Hampshire, California, and Vermont--during the entire 2020 primary/caucus elections.

As of now, that has changed quite dramatically.

Only focusing on the results through SuperTuesday (March 3), let's look at FiveThirtyEight's predictions now:

Circle the wagons, boys! Bernie Sanders and his rabble have sharpened their pitchforks and set fire to their torches! It's time to remind them who they are.

A new YouGov/Hofstra poll from Iowa has some very interesting numbers regarding Tulsi's candidacy.

I'm not seeing anyone else mentioning this, not much information available.
