Biden was dead in the water until the eve of Super Tuesday. Bernie had a strong lead coming out of the early states despite the best efforts of the media. Then you had Obama coordinate the centrist candidates to drop out and endorse Biden, and the media was happy to treat that as normal and good. And all that might not have been enough, but then Covid hit, Bernie suspended his campaign, and Biden told all his elderly supporters to go out and vote anyway.
The media is a big factor, but it was not calling the shots in 2020. That was Obama more than any one person, and all the weirdness of the early pandemic was a huge X factor.
I’m not Usian so it’s quite conceivable that I’m missing something. I’ll further concede that Obama’s person had a great effect as far as individuals go. But I don’t think he, or indeed the entire party could’ve saved Corpse President had the media treated Sanders as they would anyone else. The first two primaries they abused the conflicting information to name some rat the winner, then downplayed Nevada to oblivion. After some apocalyptic melancholy by I think wolf blitzer, and some pats on the back of the late Biden for coming in second, they refused to talk about it. It was 10 straight days of Obama this, Clyburn that and the polls from SC went from a decent win to pure domination, while in the super Tuesday states Sanders lost his lead. Then the days of gloating and the coup de grace, two rats bailed and a certain snake didn’t.
I’ll also admit that this narrative of mine takes polling at face value. Between October '19 and march '20 I was checking polling for TERF island and Usia constantly. Those two elections had a huge role in my development, I saw what I would’ve considered legacy media claw back their countries from the possibility of SocDem rule for years. A pox on all their houses.
The 2020 primary was more complicated than that.
