At this writing the powers that be are marshalling all their capacities to drive the movement under. They may succeed. The question then will be how to sustain this extraordinary left turn in American public life.
"What powers that be" would those be? The voters who are voting with an overwhelming majority for Joe Biden?
I suggest such OPs be not posted here anymore because they are divisive and the sow the seeds that somehow Biden's victory was illegitimate and brought about by a mythical "powers that be" -- it is no different from Trump supporters railing about "the deep state."
A more honorable way would be to say, "Sorry, people didn't buy our wares and we lost" - not come up with conspiracy theories.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

It's actually not. Biden may be winning the primary because everyone is freaked out.
