Sanders looked like a guy at planning and zoning bitching about a neighbor's fence. And Joe wasnt great himself.

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

We can push old Joe further and further to the left.

Btw, 70 percent of Americans support mfa.

But really, the health insurance moguls know best, fuckin’ millionaire CEOs know best.
Fuck what the majority wants.

... that the most important thing, by far, is to beat trump?

And why can't they also understand that attacking Biden helps trump?

That's what you want, but that's not what the VOTERS want. Otherwise, Bernie would be winning. But he's NOT winning, is he? He's losing, isn't he? The voters are speaking. They're letting us know LOUD AND CLEAR that they do not want what Bernie is selling. Some do, but MOST DO NOT!

They don't like him, or they don't like his attitude, or they don't like his message, or they don't trust him, or they don't think he's a leader, or they don't think he's up to the job, or they think he's unhealthy, or they think he doesn't have the right demeanor, or the don't like his temperament, or they like Joe better, or the thing Joe has got the right message and that he looks more presidential ... still, WHATEVER the reason (or reasons) the voters have made it clear that Bernie will never be our party's nominee. They've made it clear in the voting booth, and in the poll results (steady, reliable polls, trends... not outliers... from respected polling orgs) there's just no two ways about it.

Bernie is OUT and Joe is IN.

Fuck what the majority wants.
Yet, Bernie isn't winning by those margins... go figure.

That is a spurious and disingenuous survey.

I don’t. There are ways to actually achieve universal healthcare that are better.
