The struggle for Warren was that she could never seem to out-progressive the man who had come to define the movement after 2016.
"The guiding principle among our members was who is the best candidate to take on Donald Trump and who can win," Chamberlain said.
If Sanders had not run this year, they agree, they would have wholeheartedly backed Warren. Some groups made a point of insisting their endorsements were not because of anything Warren said or did, but because of Sanders' credibility and consistency on issues like health care and climate change. They bristle at the suggestion of a single moment that led to their decisions, but they acknowledge a turning point that began in October when Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Sanders.
The Working Families Party's decision sent a message to fellow progressives: don't stay neutral in the primary, pick a side. Also in December, the Center for Popular Democracy Action, another progressive coalition, backed Sanders. And then in January, the Sunrise Movement, a group of thousands of young climate activists, publicly backed Sanders.
