Here's a fucking clue, dimbulb: The "bubbled" libs who were confident Warren would be the nominee did not turn into a mob of feces-slinging howler monkeys claiming the primaries were rigged, nor did they storm the Democratic Convention in tactical gear & other colorful costumes, armed w/ bear spray & Warren flags.Many American liberals live in political bubbles. Some people in overwhelmingly blue parts of the country, for example, were shocked to find that Trump got so many votes in 2016. (“I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for [Richard] Nixon,” the film critic Pauline Kael famously said of the former president, acknowledging her own political bubble just weeks after Nixon smashed George McGovern in 1972.) Some of those same blue-area Democrats were just as confident that Senator Elizabeth Warren would be the party nominee. But Republicans also live in bubbles.

Has Editor/(former) prison guard Jeffy Goldberg told all the typists at The Atlantic they have to bofesides everything?
[The Atlantic. Good luck w/ the paywall. Ed Kilgore also examines the delusion of majority among the scum in their bubbles, & does a much better job. Again, a possible paywall.]
