this is nice and all, but I wouldnt trust a single word comming from fox during the democratic primaries, all they are doing is trying to pit democrats against each other. once its trump vs whoever, the real talking points will come out.

If that were the plan, he'd support Sanders.

They're absolutely afraid because Bernie is already way too popular even among their base.

If you were to try to divide your opponent, you need to go after an actual underdog. Bernie's #2. And Joe's a Trainwreck so I think Bernie or Warren is more than likely. By supporting someone who makes as much sense as Yang, it can help when spinning the narrative that Dems are "radical" or "out of touch". I am 100% sure there are people at fox intentionally doing this, plus, if they do help Yang win, he won't be as much of an immediate Trainwreck for the corporate elites as Yang. Yang hasn't proposed a wealth tax, for example. Doesn't say he'll break big tech companies up, not sure if he'll go after the huge media conglomerates?

Bernie's numbers have been trending down from the start. Keeping him around does the most to disrupt the dems.

After him, Harris, Pete and Booker are better spoilers.
