As a Biden supporter I support Bernie speaking out on the virus.

He’s not my guy. I dislike much his followers say and do. But sanity is sanity, unity is unity, and I’m in favor of good advice.

Hell, I’d favor Bernie and Joe talking together about this rather than making it a competition.

So far the ideas I hear from him are good.

Good for Bernie.

on coronavirus. The Democrats should work together on this.

Bernie Sanders, thanks for also lending your voice to sanity.

Any one of our folks (other than Gabbard) would be a monumental step up from what we've seen from Mango.

However, he's talking about wide, sweeping solutions to an immediate problem. All good ideas, but, difficult to undertake quickly. i.e. expand healthcare centers, add more medical people, expand health services to the elderly. All good ideas, but this is a crisis and he, once again, has grand plans.

I agree he’s doing more politicking around it but that’s fine. All of this is pretty theoretical. And sane. It’ll do 45 more harm.

He no doubt sees M4ALL as a solution for the CV. That's a solution that it would take a decade or more to implement. That's a worthless idea in a crisis situation.

He is hunched over, grabbing the podium, pointing his finger with an unsteady hand.

Is he ok? I'm being serious. He doesn't look well, even at his age.

I don't guess Biden's mental health and I don't guess Bernie's health either.

Quit looking for Republican talking points. I was just getting lunch with a bunch of Dump-Humpers loudly mocking both Bernie and Joe across the room. You can, if you want to stretch, make disparaging remarks about the health and vigor of both. No matter that Needy Amin is probably infected but wouldn't dream of self-quarantining, and his mental and physical health are far worse than either's.

This is not a time to be playing "tank the other guy with spurious crap about his health." It's time to talk policy, choose one, and get on with the game of destroying Dump.

I want Bernie, but frankly, anyone who would be unhappy with either Bernie or Joe is dumber than a post. Both are showing a thousand times the thinking and leadership than the disaster in office. We must get rid of the POTUSVirus.
