I have this feeling it was more of a threat than a buying-off. Like maybe a "Drop out or we'll actually take a look into that whole 'Shadow' thing where you blatantly tried to steal one of the primaries." It's way too abrupt and he was actually doing too well in the numbers for this to be a bribe situation.
The shadow thing feels like a bullshit random connection, since someone had to help pay for the infrastructure for some of these DNC apparatuses, like Bloomberg has been doing quite a bit of himself I think. Buttigieg had skated by with a bit of luck with the way the districting was done plus the fact the state he won quite a few delegates in was mostly white. It probably became both too obvious that blacks wouldn't support a gay guy plus someone offering him a chance at getting at least some decent position in the future if he dropped out. Guy at least has the chance of going on to do something more than being a mayor in the future.
i don't understand why the dems just don't co-opt bernie like they do everyone else. they co-opted yang implicitly by CNN having him host a debate. just assume direct control of bernie, he doesn't mind being thrown under the bus at all. they have everything versus nothing to lose at this point; who's gunna be mad at them, the dying-off blue-dog boomers?
It's not like they have that much control over people like Bernie. The guy is going around with Ilhan Omar who fairly openly hates America while talking shit about AIPAC so that every Jewish donor will get turned off from the party. He's kinda doing his own thing. What the DNC can do is pressure friends they have in various media outlets to talk shit about Bernie to pressure him into doing one thing or another, which hasn't really worked as Bernie still pushes to be labeled a socialist when that does so poorly in polling among voters. So while the DNC could try having Schumer talk to Jimmy Kimmel to get him to do a monologue where he cries about why corporations need to be subsidized so they can continue not providing healthcare, it doesn't mean they can force Bernie to stop acting retarded.
