How do the Bernie or bust crowd think Bernie should get the nomination with numbers this damn bad. It's embarrassing.

3. Why can't BS work for the country and unity? Can he really be in that sort of denial after 2016? n/t

4. We don't need any more "debates"...
Sun Mar 15, 2020, 02:05 PM

... based on what we've seen before (and what we've heard in the run-up) it's clear to me that the BS campaign sees this as one final opportunity to kneecap Biden in some futile attempt to get the nomination. It won't gain BS the nomination, but it could have the long term effect of dissuading middle-of-the-road voters and other "Never Trump" republicans from supporting Biden.

The scorched-earth policy and so many hard feelings from the BS campaign really serve no good purpose.

5. Are You Saying.....

Are you saying that Sanders never said he that he would support and work for Biden, should Biden win the primaries? Are you saying that having primary elections are dividing the country? I look at the primaries more as a poll about voter preferences between the two candidate’s issues platforms. We should find out what voters prefer and the winner should work with the runner up to craft a winning platform and they work together. No more divisive comments please!

6. We have a maniac in the White House, an economy in crisis, and a worldwide pandemic

Perhaps Senator Sanders could consider that the gravity of the situation should take precedence over ideological bickering.

Nah, I guess not.

8. The remaining primaries will be an embarrassment to Sanders.

By refusing to end his campaign he will be seen as being blinded by his ambitions and ego and could do long term damage to the progressive movement.

9. Sanders needs to withdraw after he gets destroyed this week.
Sun Mar 15, 2020, 02:32 PM
Mar 2020

Not only because he can’t win, but we need to unite now! We are in a crisis. We don’t need him and his Bros dividing us. He needs to give a ringing, heart-felt endorsement on Wednesday at the latest.

He won’t even be able to campaign in this age of social distancing and lockdowns. He also won’t be able to compete for media coverage. CV is drowning everything out.

He’s done. Accept it. He did well. I actually believe in many of the things he advocates. But he’s done.

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