Bernie says that Joe cannot win against Trump??

Uhhhh Okay...

Where are all the numbers of young people that would have moved you up in race against Joe.. Seems to me you are the one who is not exciting people!!

Who has been winning all the other categories? You can't win just with the young .. You have to win everyone

According to some of their logic I heard, because some of them won't vote for Biden in the general. And Biden's voters are more realistic and only wanted to kick Trump out. Bernie will end up having more votes in the general than Biden.

Dotard has so F cked things up. We are just starting this very long path of self isolation, non essential businesses closed. It’s going to get worse and there won’t be a thing he can do about it.

Joe Biden is going to inherit a worse mess than Obama faced in 08!

Biden because he isn't kow towing before them

They seem to ignore that Biden won every district in Michigan and Missouri, including college districts

People I know who didn't vote for Trump, at least won't admit to it, are more scared of Bernie. "Socialism" scares them more, believe it or not. Most of them make fun of Bernie's "free shit" for everyone.

I was originally for Warren, here in the deep red state of Indiana. I'm Bidden all the way now, of course I'd vote for a sign post over tRump.

We're the majority of the Democratic voters. Any candidate who doesn't have the support of the women in the party has no path to the White House.

This is how you lose a general election as a Democratic candidate. 👇👇👇
