Nothing at all suspicious about Buttigieg and Klobuchar dropping out literally hours before Super Tuesday, even with Klobuchar's home state voting that day. I try not to think about it too much, because what's done is done, but the way that many Democrats acted toward Sanders and his supporters is one of the reasons I eventually decided not to affiliate myself with the party.
It's not "suspicious", it's basic political strategy. It was clear from polling that Pete and Amy weren't going to be competitive in most states, so they dropped out and endorsed the next best option according to their politics.
You progressives are exactly like QAnon when something doesn't go your way, it must have been a massive conspiracy or everything was "stolen". Or maybe the "evil money" (Jews) did it, like Nina Turner suggested.
What the actual f***, dude? I'm Jewish, so don't you
dare patronize me with an accusation of antisemitism, especially when the DNC itself weighed the possibility of using Sanders's Jewish heritage against him in 2016. Your sh*tty attitude as well as said "strategy" you mentioned, as legal as it may be, is one of the reasons people like me continue to be critical of the Democratic Party. We're expected to accept and forgive constant attempts to otherize and ostracize us until the moment a more moderate candidate wins a primary. Then we get lectured about "unity", when there have been several cases of more moderate Democrats losing primaries, and then refusing to endorse a progressive challenger, or even endorsing their Republican opponent. Why is the standard of unity, decency, and not playing spoiler only applied to us? Why is any legitimate grievance dismissed as "buying into conspiracy theories"?
More and more, it seems like folks like you would be happier without folks like me in the party (so much for a "big tent", am I right?) All I can say is, be careful what you wish for.
