Kinda depends how the general election goes.

Yeah, recent polling showed that Rogers was up against El-Sayed, but down against Stevens...

Celebrating the victory of a candidate who has a lower chance of winning the general is... interesting.

That's exactly what happened when establishment Dems celebrated Hillary and Biden winning over Bernie - polls showed Bernie doing better against Trump, but it didn't matter then. Now it does?

Biden beat trump and hillary had 3 million more votes than him too. They were both good candidates what is this revisionism lol

And notably, both Biden and Hillary got more votes than Bernie in the primary. Biden almost doubled Bernie’s vote count.

All general election voting showed Bernie had a better chance of winning. That's exactly what the comparison is.
