To that end, if Bernie really cares about the well-being of the country as much as he claims, he needs to step aside and provide a full-throated endorsement for Biden. Same with Warren. I hope we see Bernie, Sanders, Obama and others stump hard for Biden. I also hope that Bloomberg throws a bunch of money behind him. The world needs all hands on deck for this one.

All signs point to it not being nearly as much a factor as it was last time. The rhetoric is down, Bernie's base has shrunk, the primaries look to be decisive and not controversial.
I've not an AOC fan at all, but I've been impressed from what I've seen from her through this. While she's enthusiastically supporting Bernie, she's made an effort to stay away from the rigged/Bernie or Bust type comments. Her and Bernie bowing out gracefully, being good sports and throwing even a minimal level of support behind Biden will make a difference.
