If Biden is the nominee I'll back him fully

I love Bernies ideas but I’ll vote for Biden. So I’m not a ‘take my ball and go home Bernie Bro’ (of which I’ve actually never met any).

But support is being given to Biden it seems, with the simultaneous acknowledgment, and point of criticism, that a segment of his supporters will indeed not support Biden, or anyone else.

I’m of the option that to win the GE we will need to win by at least 10%, probably more like 15%-20%, given all the GOP election ratfucking.

So Lets be clear the ‘Bernie or nobody else’ people are not democrats.. and Biden will need to win this election by earning all the votes he can, and overcoming a GOP slanted election system.

I hope we rid trump from the White House and I’ll get as many people As I can out to vote for Biden if he’s the guy.

Wish I had as much confidence as the Biden folks, but It will be on Biden to win over sufficient support if he gets the Nom..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

I was always "Vote Blue No Matter Who". I would have voted for Bernie if he won. I would have voted for any of the 29 candidates over Trump.

We have too much in common. I am personally terrified of climate change. This issue with Coronavirus will seem small compared to what is coming with our rapidly warming planet. We must hold our candidate accountable for leading with these issues. However, we have to beat Trump!

And while there is a lot of talk about Bernie supporters, I don't see it among my Bernie friends too much. A few are saying it now, because they're in grief. Been there, Done that, too many times since 1976, so I get it. In fact, I was for Liz, and she's out. But we have to win and win big, as you say!
