Bernie has not given up. His impassioned speech in the Senate where he spoke against the Republicans fight to keep low income workers from possibly getting more than their usual pay for up to four months was very emotionally persuasive, especially to his constituents. While Republicans are correct that this could be a disincentive for these low income workers to go back to work, the Republicans were wrong to press it so hard. In the overall almost 2 TRILLION (who can even think in these amounts?) dollar bill, the extra money that the 10 and 12 dollar an hour workers will get is very small.

Perhaps Republican Senators were more concerned about how important these workers are to getting the economy rolling again (why go to work when you can get more just sitting home?) than the money but they sound uncaring about low income workers. It made a perfect opening to energize Bernie and his supporters. It will be hard for the Dems to dump both Biden and Bernie

I didn't hear the speech, but I don't doubt that he scored points with his constituents. But a speech that appeals to his followers isn't going to get him the nomination from the powers that be in the party.

My only point was that the Democratic Party was desperate to stop Bernie's momentum, and Biden was the man who filled that role. Now that it's becoming clear that Slow Joe isn't up to the job, they have to find someone else. But you'll see that everyone who comes up for discussion is someone other than Bernie Sanders.
