You're legitimately low IQ. They announced formally what green bolded in my previous post -- they’re withholding an endorsement in the run-up to nevada’s caucus (FIFY). That isn't good for you, that is horrifically bad for the democratic party as a whole. That quote-tweet is just some random sky screamer projecting her feelings as to why.
If the dems can't even get the unions on board, which if it's bernie vs. Trump, and one wants to take their benefits away, while the other's economy is roaring and their members are making more money than they ever have, the general election is over before a single vote is even cast.

Right, they’re divided, opening the door in the general to dems winning a plurality (?) or majority (?) of votes they would normally win 100%.
Now do middle-class unions in the Midwest, where they would win even less.
Now do pro-life dems, who bernie says aren’t welcome.
Now do dems that have common sense re: economics, have a 401k, etc.
You will have to make up for that somewhere. The only demographic that bernie thinks he can excite are college students, and their turnout was down in both IA and NH so far.

Does Harry Reid still have that kind of power today? He’s 80 years old and looked very feeble the last time I saw him in media.

Exactly. The key is that they didn't publicly endorse Biden, which I think if he had shown even remote viability would have happened. Also the idea you could ever successfully paint Bernie as "anti union" has about as much chance of sticking as the idea of painting him "pro billionaire".
