    pretty much no candidate ever has won the general election after a contested convention, so the smart play for the general was for the I pledged and superdelegates to present a united front in support of the nominee.

    and give a big “fuck you” to anyone who wanted meaningful change.

      How would conceding the 2020 election to Trump have brought about more meaningful [progressive] change than what we had with Biden? The progressive candidates and voters need to stick with it. The Tea Party took enough of the Republican party through their primaries to turn into MAGA. We can do the same, we just have to stick with it.
