They probably feel bad for him because he's run (unsuccessfully) so many times + all the tragedies that have happened with his family while he was giving so much to the party. Which is sad, and I'll bet he made some fiery phone calls recently. But it's not democratic.

In his interview on MTP yesterday he mentioned something about folks "stepping up" to help deliver on SC smh

This is pretty much about the Dem establishment being there for Joe, not voters (other than black voters in the south, who clearly ride for him).
