She played the game and dropped out before Super Tuesday so as to not dilute Biden's primary vote. Remember Biden was trailing until everyone else suddenly dropped out to prevent Sanders from winning.

Everyone who did as they were told and dropped out got rewarded.

The DNC would rather risk losing to a fascist twice than win with a progressive. Think about that.
