      There are 200+ seats where the resources for a challenge from the left would be better spent.

      There is no serious candidate to the left of Biden, so her choice is this or picking a fight over nothing, with nothing to gain.

                  Endorsing Bernie in 2020 makes you criticize her?

                  Come on, you learned objectively good information about her and turned it into an attack. That's exactly what Parenti is calling out in his "unfalsifiable orthodoxy" quote.
