Whom would doom!
I'm reading "Joe Biden Had a Big Night. He Needs Another in 72 Hours/For more than 30 years, over three presidential runs, Mr. Biden has been waiting to notch a victory like the one in South Carolina. Now he has to face the test of Super Tuesday." It's Matt Flegenheimer and Katie Glueck in the New York Times:With a commanding victory on Saturday, Mr. Biden made a compelling case that he is the Democrat best positioned to head off the nomination of Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist senator whom centrists fear would doom the party this fall.I'm very interested in the substance, but first, let's talk about grammar. Whom... would doom?! The rhyme is bad enough — whom... doom... — but how can writers at this level not know how to figure out when "whom" is right?! You can take "centrists fear" out of that clause and see that it's obviously wrong to say "the democratic socialist senator whom... would doom the party...." You can also make the mistake easy to see by writing it with different punctuation: "the democratic socialist senator whom — centrists fear — would doom the party this fall." You need "who," because it's the subject of the verb "doom." Bernie isn't doomed. Bernie is doing the dooming. According to those centrists who are doing the fearing.
Anyway... after the South Carolina primary, it's possible that the fearers of socialism and doom will all suddenly get behind Joe Biden. Whatever messages Super Tuesday voters have been hearing up until now, forget about it. This is serious! Either you like Bernie or you'd better embrace old Joe.
[Biden] is convinced that he has done enough to demonstrate his dominance with a core Democratic constituency and affirm his argument that no one is better suited to take on President Trump.... But for all his undeniable success on Saturday, Mr. Biden remains hamstrung on two fronts: by several competitors still disinclined to stand down, even if they siphon crucial non-Sanders votes, and by a campaign organization that party officials have described as jarringly thin in many of the states that will vote on Tuesday....If a mad dash toward Biden is really the only way to save the Democratic Party, Obama should break his silence and endorse him before Super Tuesday. But I don't think he will, because I think centrists also fear that Biden would doom the party this fall. Why would Obama stake his reputation on that?
Why would Michael R. Bloomberg step aside, before the states he is contesting have even voted, with hundreds of millions of dollars already sunk into his bid and a conviction that he is the man for the job? What do Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar owe Mr. Biden, whom they each dusted in New Hampshire (and, in Mr. Buttigieg’s case, in Iowa), where the voters who spend the most time with their candidates decided that the former vice president could not be trusted to defeat President Trump?
