    I can only hope that this backfires spectacularly for the establishment. Going first could mean that the shitlib vote is split amongst 4 or 5 candidates while the progressives pick a lane. Deeper into the primary cycle fuckass Jim Clyburn could probably meddle more.

      That’s actually an interesting take. Especially since funding is what makes people drop out more than votes. Look at Bernie going deep in each of his runs because he had the cash. I could see a world where an AOC (who has more money than anyone) simply ‘hangs around’ if theres a crowded center, building her ground game in later states that actually have Democrats in them.
