Progressives don't need to default to Bernie Sanders this time around. They have options, thus splitting the progressive polling percentages between several candidates. I envision there will be deals made for delegates at the Democratic Convention.
If we were to suppose that both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren both have a substantial number of delegates by the time of the Democratic Convention (as the polling indicates they will do), I could definitely see a deal being made where they team up to defeat a far-right candidate like Joe Biden in the delegate count. Combined, there is more support for "the progressive wing" than there is for Joe Biden. You act as those there won't be any deal made.
My favourite candidate might actually be Tulsi Gabbard because of how anti-war she is. With her as president the American occupiers may finally leave my country. Whenever a US president visits it feels like a dictator visits one of their colonies.
That's a good argument for Warren winning the nomination, not for Bernie.
Just now, I saw another poll in which Warren is ahead of Bernie, this time by 10 points. Biden still at top and relatively crushing it.
