in her home state with much of the vote in her home district.
what do you think its gonna matter outside ny in the rust belt, sun belt, south, etc?
i think a lot of people confuse 'rock star' media attention with real clout.
cynthia nixon is by far more famous than andrew cuomo and got a ton of free media coverage. she got blown out by 30 pts in the dem primary lol. 30 pts fam.
and you realize that there are other non-white politicians than 'the squad' right? people are getting excited that bernie got endorsed by 3-4 women of color because it shatters some 'myth'?
joe biden has over 100 official endorsements from black/latino politicians from ruben gallego to jahana hayes to keisha lance bottoms. thats what a real diverse coalition looks like (something sanders and warren still struggle with).
your claim about bernie having 'the most diverse support-base of any candidate' is some straight up trumpian gaslighting. you yourself have posted data on here that refutes that.

(biden beats him by 20+ and 10+ with blacks and latinos and even 16+ with whites...thats what 'diverse' means)
the aoc and squad endorsement isnt really gonna bring bernie any *new* voters. their supporters were already firmly in his corner. who else did you think they were gonna vote for?
