In her own words:
“The mainstream media and the DNC are colluding against the American people. That’s what it feels like. It’s the same thing all over again.”
Thus far, Sanders is the second most popular Democrat in a field of nearly two dozen prospective contenders. However, Biden’s reported lead is still substantial and within the double-digits.
Is the Democrat Establishment Pushing for Biden?
Progressive concerns about the Democrat establishment are not wholly unfounded. However, at this time, it remains unclear whether or not powerful Democrats are conspiring against Sanders.
Despite Biden’s substantial lead, he has still taken some hits from various progressive groups. Shortly after the former vice president announced his candidacy, Justice Democrats slammed him as a centrist who lacks the policy and conviction to take on President Trump.
Moreover, various Democrat big-names, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez censured Biden for his desire to find a “middle ground” on certain issues. Ocasio-Cortez also previously stated that she will likely endorse either Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders for president.
