With all the talk of how utterly physically impossible the path forward would be now for Bernie, I noticed nobody was giving the actual numbers. The sudden silence on the numbers (and shift to such a smug gloating tone from all the Biden dupes) was a bit suspicious, given the fact that when Bernie was solidly ahead they were all treating it as a tie or even acting as if Bernie were already losing, but I couldn't say they were still downplaying Bernie like they'd been before without numbers. Well, I finally saw numbers. Biden's over 1000 and Bernie's in the 800s. That's hard for Bernie, but not the overwhelming humiliating obliteration they keep acting like it is. The magic number is a bit over 1900, so he'd need to win about 60% of the remaining points, which is hard but not absurdly so, especially with the last few rounds of polls having been turning back in his direction (which is why the DNC pushed for primaries to be the only thing the country that still plows ahead on schedule during the plague, to try to get it over with while their guy is ahead before he has any time to slip again). Of course, it looks like he's quitting anyway, so what he could or couldn't have done is moot, but it's still interesting as a matter of narrative. If Biden's supporters cared about facts, this early quit would dispel their narrative about Bernie being stubborn and willing to drag it out extra long and tear the party apart.
