The Most Progressive Thing Warren Can Do Is Leave the Race

The most progressive thing Warren can do is stay in the race for as long as possible, drop out at the end, and then endorse Bernie, because she's leeching votes from both Bernie and Biden, which means if she just dropped out now, she'd basically give an equal boost to Biden and Bernie. The idea that if she drops out, most of here votes would go to Bernie is not supported by the data we have. People don't care about lanes as much as they care about personality, and only around 40% of Warren's vote would be Bernie's, which means 60% wouldn't be. The best thing she can do is hoard delegates, but then drop out, and endorse Bernie so he'd get a claim on her delegates. Viability is a non-issue at this point; neither Bernie nor Biden will have issue going over the 15% line as for her to make a difference that way.
