Sander supporters online are saying Trump is sure to get re-elected

with Biden as the likely nominee, seeing this on facebook and twitter and liberal personalities on youtube including the network that had a meltdown on Super Tuesday when Sander's wasn't winning. I won't link them. They are doing Trump's dirty work for him to make sure Biden is damaged as possible.

If I were to vote in a presidential

Sat Mar 14, 2020, 01:13 AM
Mar 2020

It seemed very straight forward, not like he was trying to get cute or influence anything.

Ryan said Biden would be toughest for Trump to defeat because of Biden's strength with the new pivotal swing voter, the suburban woman who is slightly right leaning but can be influenced the other way. Ryan didn't seem worried about it because he said he doubted Biden could get the nomination. Obviously that's when Sanders was the frontrunner.

and had the most progressive platform in history. It didn't matter. Biden has a massive coalition of centrist. This is the way to go if he wants to win. Suburban moms who always voted republican in the past find Bernie too bombastic and are repulsed by some of the people who Bernie has aligned himself with. Joe Roan... Cenk etc..They really hurt Bernie, more than you think. Joe has them and also has never Trumpers. In fact, Joe has every demographic except young folks, who are not reliable voters anyway and Latinos in some states.

on Trump.

Biden doesn't have to, and shouldn't, give any concessions to Sanders. There will be a section of his support who will never vote for Biden, but hé stands to gain far more from the moderate Republicans and Independents who do vote, and who want to see the end of Trump.

The Bern-or-busters were originated by an anarchic organization that was determined to destroy any sort of government. They even said if Sanders wasn't the nominee to vote for Trump, because it would cause the most chaos. Once it all gained momentum (late fall 2015), they took down their originators site and replaced it with other info and no links to the individuals involved. I know the Sanders campaign was alerted, as a Sanders supporter at that time, I sent them the links to the group several times. But then, they blew it off. Once they started the scorched earth crap in 2016, I realized they supported that notion, and I dropped my support of Sanders.

This election has really exposed the so-called progressives to be as bad as the Trump followers.

Its a revelation that these people would rather have 4 more years of this madman in office out of bitterness. And they think their progressive humanitarians. There not, their cult-like fanatics

I’m referring to the Bernie fanatics who out of spite won't vote for Biden and will let Trump win.

I’m glad that’s not you.

I've seen and heard them say I won't VOTE FOR BIDEN.

I consider that kind of mentality the same as the Trump followers.

I just want to say to you that IF I were appointed God, I’d make Bernie president, of course, with a Dem Senate and Congress as well! Of course, that’s not going to happen so political reality comes into play and in order to avoid Trump, we have to vote in a decent liberal like Biden.

I respect Bernie and his followers who like yourself are reasonable.
