... that's my opinion. Others may have a different opinion, but that one is MINE.



Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!
Jump on the Biden Bandwagon & abandon the revolution!!

It seems like the hope for a delay is also a hope for some kind of opening created by this process. I think the party should declare the primaries over and every other Dem that hasn't weighed in yet -- Warren and Obama -- should publicly support that. I'm not terribly thrilled with GOP governors trying to influence our process in favor of the candidate they'd most like to face in November.

is this a training seminar for what the WH plans to do for the general election? 🙄

He's hoping that with more time, he can turn things around.

But he can't.

came into my head.

If we’re supposed to stay home, why is it we can go stand in line to vote? Personally, I don’t want to.

...it sets a very bad precedent..Coronavirus will likely still be with us in November...do you want to delay the election then giving trump more time to come up with some illegal means to steal the election? I’ll personally risk hospitalization/death to vote trump the hell out..

What a POS.

stand in lines just to prove Sanders lost. If he TRULY gave a shit, he would be bowing it.

not shouting just emphasizing like Newsweek.

If he truly cares about American people, about Democratic voters, he'll drop out tomorrow night. He needs to put people ahead of his ideology. If he's not willing to do that, he was never cut out to be president.

Either everyone should be permitted to vote remotely by mail or other means, or the primaries should be put off until arrangements can be made for everyone to participate remotely. Some here still apparently are unwilling to acknowledge the seriousness of this pandemic, and the impact that it will have on the health of many. In addition, who will work at the polls? You can’t seriously expect senior citizens who are amongst the most vulnerable to risk their health and safety? In NYS, you can apply for an absentee ballot up to 7 days before the election. https://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/download/voting/AbsenteeBallot-English.pdf. Just in canes, I’ve applied for an absentee ballot.

Not where I live, but it’s an issue elsewhere.

Regarding the Presidential Primary, it should be ended. Bernie is a has been, and Gabbard is a never was. Neither of them have a snow ball’s chance in hell of getting the nomination, and at this point, they are merely making mischief by causing Biden to waste time and resources that could be better used to end the Trump Presidency.

We'll go forward and persevere, Senator.

Of course the primaries wouldn't strictly be necessary if you would suspend your campaign. So perhaps you should look into that option to address your concerns.

be needed.

It’s what’s for dinner

Suspend your campaign, dude

isn't the presidential election so I doubt there will be LONG LINES. Everywhere I've lived, the line was relatively short, and if youu just stand a little away from the next person in line you'll be fine. We have touch screen voting and the poll volunteers are to wipe each screen with a sanitizing wipe between voters.

Quit hunting for a reason not to have to vote!

So he's looking for any escape from that. Sorry, we here in Arizona have been voting by mail for weeks already. My mom, who is an election supervisor will be working for 15 hours on Tuesday helping people vote. We have had vote by mail for a while now. I voted for Biden weeks ago.

Nowadays I go for my long walks with a blue bandana around my neck, and if I get near someone when I walk, I put the bandana over my mouth and nose, because I am taking people's advice and acting as if I am infected when I am not. If people are worried, they should wash their hands before they go out. They should put on gloves and cover every part of their body. They should wear a hat, and they should put a bandana over their faces like I do when I get near another person.

I have also used clippers to cut my hair short. Can the virus live on human hair? In case it can, I now have less hair.

Figures.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Our Revolution.

and move right to the GE.

his young voters will be the list affected maybe they will vote this time.

Go home, old man. You're done, and your lawn won't do that screaming at the kids to get off it for you.

Why prolong the misery? Bernie will not be the nominee. There will be no revolution. Democrats are speaking loud and clear: we don't want a Socialist to lead the Democrats or the become President.

It’s time to end this shit. I’ll do my part.

BTW...I vote in a Methodist Church Hall. Anyone know their pull with God?

or God ain't much of a football fan...

I'm gonna have to walk to the mall to drop my ballot off...couldn't get in the car wearing that big bubble ball.

Sometimes I just don't think ahead.

But apparently they've risen. I'm good, thanks.

I would be perfectly content if Florida counts only my vote. Hint, Sanders wouldn't be remotely viable in Florida if just my vote is counted.

Tens of thousands of election poll workers are being exposed to voters in confined areas. Election workers are mainly elderly people, the highest risk group.

Are you okay if, in November, Trump requests postponing the election due to an outbreak of something? It's a dangerous game. You support it now and you forfeit any argument in the future if it's employed at a national election. I doubt you'd be okay with Trump demanding the postponement of the presidential election if things are just as awful as they are now - or worse.

If states cancel because Sanders asks for it, in November, if Trump sees that he is going to get beaten, he asks states to cancel their elections, Senator Sanders and his supporters would have already set the standard for what Trump could do.

He would come out and say states need to postpone elections because it's not safe for voters in major US cities to cast their ballot. Of course, he doesn't have authority to get that done - but he can put pressure on states.

1) Ask each state to postpone their elections.
2) IF the state refuses to, he will up the National Guard to every polling station in America's cities (under the idea they're the hardest hit) to protect order and make sure voting is done 'efficiently and within specific guidelines).
3) Maybe some states with Republicans governors and legislatures, like, say Ohio or Florida, give in and postpone. How can you have a legitimate election at that point if some states vote and others don't?

And if anyone pushes back, Trump could just claim he's following the lead of what the Democratic Party did earlier in the year.

I take it you are not one of them....

You'd be perfectly fine if he asked states to postpone their elections if we have another outbreak?

just so they can have an election win.

But it's cute you ignored my question: would you be okay with Trump asking states to postpone the vote in November? Because allowing for it now opens the door for him to petition to do the same in November. There's precedent now.

Moreover, what happens if they postpone but this gets worse? Trump said this could go into August. Then what? It's clear Bernie wants to postpone because doing so postponed his demise. He is not going to be the nominee and postponing will possibly lead to an outright cancellation of those primaries - then what? If it's this important then the DNC should announce they're canceling the rest of the primary and Biden is the presumptive nominee.

So we know what side you are on.

Why do you suppose he did that?

It's clear if this stunt was pulled in November, you'd be singing a different tune. We just laid the groundwork for Trump supporting governors and SoS to postpone elections in November, even defying court orders to do so.

Survival of the fittest. Ok...

Have you never voted in a primary?

don't give a damn about the danger they place this country in...if Trump follows suit and cancels the General...so not worth it for Sanders who has lost the primary...concede and we don't need a primary.

which is to protect Biden against Bernie. They know what Bernie is up to.

on edit: they promised to protect Biiden against trump, not bernie.

We should cancel all future primaries and instead have one more debate and let Jane Sanders decide who won it and therefore should become the Dem nominee.

Seems fair enough to me.

Instead of just Jane, I'd also include David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Grey, Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore and Kille Mike. That way, it will be a representative pool of Americans and it won't be al up to Jane.

If we left it up to just Jane then Bernie might lose.

Wonder how ol' psycho Cenk is doing today?

Apparently Cenk wants us to decide...he just doesn't want us to vote!

by the DNC and the billionairres! Or the voters!

Otherwise, it's just prolonging the amount of time he has to damage Biden and criticize the party.

There are a lot of ways of minimizing exposure. They can vote by mail like my state, Washington, does for one.

Avoid licking the envelope though. Wet it with a sponge before sealing.

Those primaries will take place, perhaps with a lower turnout, but they will take place.

Then, on Wednesday, Bernie Sanders should drop out of the race, given the coronavirus and other factors.

Will Bernie do what's right at this point? Doubtful.

close down your campaign like everyone else did.

He'll probably get his @$$ kicked.

Cue the "voter suppression" excuses form the usual suspects.

No Bernie. You can go now.

Bye.

of which I am a member, not turning out. As strongly as I feel about my vote, my fear of the virus may turn out to be a stronger force. Holding the primaries tomorrow could turn out to be a gross injustice to such vulnerable populations.

- Florida

Because if so, I remember his answer being more nuanced than that. He said he doesn't think we should make a habit of postponing elections, but it might make sense in light of what's going on. The way I read it was he was deferring to the governors. This was something he was asked about, not something he started pushing.

And of course he'll request a do over and two re counts the following Wednesday.

He has no political talent whatsoever.

contact with hundreds of people. The governor, DeWine a republican, has cancelled the primary and tentatively rescheduled it for June...

As much as I support Bernie, I think he should suspend his campaign, if not today then Wednesday after the primaries in other states. If there are no or few primaries after this week, we don't need to drag out the primary process when the math is obvious.

He is going to court. We don't know what the court will decide.

of poll workers tomorrow.

The governor has closed gatherings of more than 10 people.

As much as I support Bernie, I think he should suspend his campaign. There will certainly be more cancellations of primaries in weeks to come and we don't need the Democratic presidential nomination in limbo indefinitely. Asking poll workers to interact closely with hundreds of people during a 13 hour day (been there, done that) is a lot under the circumstances.

their is no recovering from this. Once again, we have Sanders causing our Democratic party unprecedented problems.

Btw, as a Sanders supporter putting out the suggestion you did? Says everything about the kind of person you are. Thank you for that.

Of course he does. Anything to try and hang on.
