Warren tanked her chances when she started attacking Bernie

You mean when she was hit by months of Bernie-sourced "grassroots" attacks and took the high ground, only to have an actual conversation brought up by the media and Bernie outright denying it to the extent they managed to hot-mic her offense.

She didn't crash because she attacked Bernie. She crashed because she was a woman who was seen genuinely angry and offended by a much more capable dirty-fighting career politician. I HATE Bernie as a person and the way his ambition ruined the only real chance we had at a progressive White House, but after years I can admit he could have backstabbed his way into the White House if the winds had gone a little differently for him. She crashed because she's an honest policymaker, and they never make it to the Presidency.

Everyone started calling her a snake

And Pocahontas and a bunch of other shit. Nobody likes a smart women. We didn't deserve someone as good as Warren. So we got Biden. And since Trump is running again, we have no choice but to get Biden again.

DNC also has “super delegates”

FYI, the super-delegate system was gutted in 2020 because of the appearance of impropriety in 2016. Superdelegates are powerless now unless the convention becomes contested (which it was not in 2020).
