The orange imbeicile must go...and we can't call thos who are willing to lose if they don't get their perfect progressive nominee...the 'base'.

So either some of those Warren supporters would still vote for Biden over Trump instead of Warren over Trump, or Biden has that much of an advantage over Warren with independents and even some Republicans.
Probably the latter.
Which is exactly what we need to win the electoral college, as opposed to just racking up more Democratic votes in California and other reliably Democratic strongholds where Warren might have more support.

I know a lot of Democrats who support candidates who don't poll as well against Trump like to point to the polls showing up to several Democratic candidates beating him.
But too much is at stake not to go with our strongest candidate.
