Bernie very may well be a socialist but, yeah, his descriptions of democratic socialism and his agenda items are basic social democrat stuff.

The media is ignoring and smearing Sanders because the ruling class loves socialism

Medicare For All is their worst nightmare. If "conservatives" and now "liberals" BOTH hate it, it must be good for the peasants.

The Ecstatic, myself, and others have made many posts suspecting Warren of being an establishment candidate rather than a progressive candidate.
Now it's certain. She's gotten behind Klobuchar and is has bad words for Bernie supporters.
Krystal Ball says the same:

The Ecstatic said: NYT ran a story yesterday about how she’s quietly courting establishment figures. She won’t put Medicare For All on her website. She already broke her pledge to not take big donor money by using it to buy the DNC’s mail list. She’s significantly weaker than Bernie on practically every position , she doesn’t have the ground game he does, and she fares worse in a head to head with Trump than Bernie does. But liberals gonna liberal.
Luckily, Bernie is the 2nd choice of about half of Biden voters. As he drops, Bernie will absorb a good deal of his base. Same goes for a good portion (if not majority) of Gabbard and Yang voters, who both sit right around 3% currently. Warren has to win Iowa otherwise she’s done for. Bernie will win NH, Biden will take SC if he doesn’t have a stroke before then. But if he keeps falling in the polls the. Ernie is taking SC. After that is Nevada, which Bernie will likely win. The main thing holding Bernie back is the South, where Biden holds a commanding lead virtually everywhere south of Maryland. The thing is, Bernie has a 10+ point advantage with POC over Warren. The only way Warren is gonna pull this off is if she can somehow galvanize the black community in a scale that would make Obama blush, otherwise she needs Biden to keep Bernie’s numbers low. Either that or Warren would need to absorb the voters of virtually the rest of the field as other candidates drop out, but the numbers aren’t showing that to be the case right now. For all we hear about Bernie stagnating in the polls (he’s actually gradually rising since the debates), it’s actually Warren who seems to have plateaued over the past month or so. Biden down a few, Bernie up a few, but even with a similar candidate like Kamala Harris plummeting in the polls, Warren doesn’t seem to pick up those voters.
All that being said we’re still 6 months out from the first primary, anything could happen. But it is interesting to see how things seem to be trending. Like the fact that Yang is beating Mayor Pete right now 
Other than screwing up the order of Nevada before South Carolina, damn I fuckin nailed it.

Klobuchar WTF. I suspected she would do something stupid when she dropped out, but she's too indecisive to even drop out. Doesn't she know at this point they're supposed to coalesce behind Bloomberg?
I had no idea how to spell coalesce. It must be the first time I ever wrote the word.

I heard Hillary bitch about Sanders on Ellen the other day.... That cunt doesnt realize that 2016 is over and that Sanders is the rock the boat candidate like Trump was 4 years ago.
Also, fuck Hollywood for keeping Hillary relevant... Desperately trying to hang on to the little power she has left over the Democrats...

Unfortunately, I think any remaining Hillary supporters only have a very small chance of recovering at this point.
