Recommended: If Biden's not up to it, someone should have said so

There is a perceptive piece on the Vox site this morning entitled The Democratic establishment is doing a really bad job of stopping Bernie Sanders. I think the author is correct - the "diversity" that Democrats are so proud of, with up to 25 candidates crowding the field at one point, has fragmented support and funding for the moderates, leaving a clear lane for Sanders with his socialist message to outspend them all and win the nomination. But of course, as I said in a previous post, if the Democratic establishment does succeed in stopping Sanders, it will probably lose a significant proportion of his supporters at the polls.
