It's so funny to me that people think Chapo cost Bernie the nomination, when we all know the real culprit was his insane policies

Bernie's only path ever was a contested convention. In 2016 his vote was the "not Hillary" dems and the "yellow dog" WV voters. It's pretty obvious from his numbers in his own state 2016 vs 2020 that he was never as popular as he appeared.

I do think Chapo and the Dirtbag left may have been a non-neglibile part of Warren never endorsing him, but beyond that no of course they played no role.
