Why is the hard left sticking with Biden?

I was at a loss to answer that question. The best I could do was to speculate that the left’s loyalty was based on the fact that Biden has been very good to the left and, if reelected, would continue to be. This, I thought, was the simplest explanation.

Now, however, we have a simpler one along the same lines: political bribery (or horse trading, if you prefer). According to the Washington Post, Bernie Sanders met with top Biden aides and told them the president should revive his candidacy by emphasizing Sanders’ pet projects like expanding Social Security benefits and eliminating medical debt.

Two days later, at a rally in Michigan, endorsed both giveaways. Sanders immediately tweeted his applause.
