I said good, not perfect or ideal.

The good must win.

Biden will be fine!

And no, not perfect either, but
compared to MF45, he will be great!

"Your candidate needs to EARN my vote."
"I'm not in love with your candidate."
"I need a good reason to vote FOR someone rather than voting AGAINST someone."
"I'm tired and it's past my bedtime."
"I'm Susan Sarandon and I'm rich enough that I don't need to care."

"I need a good reason to vote FOR someone rather than voting AGAINST someone"

It is simply unfathomable how ANYONE could still think that way in the current situation, though I have no doubt there are rubes out there saying exactly that.

At least it's unfathomable to this poster from north of the border- Canadians have a long history of strategic voting.

Biden is an amazing candidate and will be a great President.

They (the people I know) are as invested in Bernie as much as the Trump people are invested in Trump. To compromise now, I believe, would be to admit they were in the wrong not to compromise four years ago. It's an emotional investment, and it's got to be very psychologically difficult to let go. And everyone is in panic mode right now - not the best time to make rational choices, as we see with peoples' bizarre shopping habits.

I am trying to be sympathetic, even though I've seen Bernie Sanders as a bane to the Democrats since the summer of 2015.

I’m voting against tRump.

By pulling the lever for Joe Biden without reservation or qualification. He was my sixth choice. But, if he’s our nominee, he’ll get my vote. Hell, I’d vote for him ten times if I could. Whatever will rid us of the plague currently squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Plain and simple. There is no other option here.

But weak minds must be convinced

Based on what I've observed, someone gores someone else's sacred ox even once, and they get excommunicated.

The last time a candidate I voted for carried my state, and won the Presidency was Carter. It is frustrating.

that he will be "elected" exactly like he was in 2016 or even worse..........The Republicans and Putin have far more corruption going on for this election now that the Supreme Court has said to the Republicans: Anything Goes

Then of course, depending on the Virus, most of us might not even think/care about the election.......

From Susan Sarandon to guys like this clown who profess the need to vote "for" something rather than "against" something.

How do these people think something like M4A could ever happen with that kind of attitude?

I should hope not anyway.

EVERYTHING. EVERY sentence. EVERY word.

There, problem solved!

Biden promised a female VP and he actually keeps his word.

HELL FUCKING NO

Well Said!

I blame 2016 Sanders supporters who refused to vote for Hillary in key battleground states. That is why we have the evil orange pos currently in WH!

Why anyone would choose to not vote or write in a candidate just because their preferred person is not the nominee is beyond me! As long as a candidate holds the same basic beliefs, why would you not vote for him, especially when it means defeating Trump and all he stands for! We all have to compromise! No single candidate will be perfect.

if he is the nominee. Here are some reasons why:
1) Biden is more liked than Hillary was
2) Biden seems to be winning the nomination on his own without the DNC putting their thumb on the scale
3) Trump! F him! He needs to be voted out and people realize that

And they're already saying it about Biden. The latest bullshit claim? They're saying Illinois accidentally showed tomorrow's results on TV today.

I will vote for Biden.

LOL. Enjoy your stay. Bernie is a loser.

If you really want to get people on your side that isn't the way. You could have said" I'm sorry you feel that way hopefully you come around to see why it's important to beat Trump." Or something along those lines. Just as it is important for us Sanders supporters to accept that Biden is going to be the candidate and support him in order to be Trump, it's important for Biden supporters to be gracious in winning.

some of these peops seem to be trying to run off Bernie supporters

I do not understand it, we are stronger together

demand graciousness.

Thank you!

you have to get 152 people who care from these categories, which you defined in your post:

Not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting for a write-in candidate

Most of your 152 people, if not all, are Biden supporters, therefore, they do not qualify.

Your comment, "Bernie is a loser" shows a lack of maturity.

If your goal is to get "not voting, voting 3rd party, or voting for a write-in candidate" to vote for Biden, you are failing and you will not persuade anyone with such tactics. In fact, such tactics probably incite people do double down, so you're really just shooting yourself in the foot.

We should have our presumptive nominee in about 24 hours

to address any of my points.

... to realize I'm not obligated to address your points, nor do I give a shit about them.

Time is ticking for Bernie... tick tick tick tick...

I will not answer any more of your childish posts.

Am I bummed my candidate won't get the nomination? Sure. However I'm fucking petrified of what four more years of this clown show will bring upon our country.
A vote for anyone but Joe Biden helps Trump plain and simple.

Thank you.

I absolutely do not want people to join us over threats of ostracization. Your fundamental point is right. I cannot stress enough, though, the solution is not to drive people away.

We all seem to be going on the assumption there will actually be an election. Ohio cancelled their primary with no authority to do so, what makes you think tRump won't do the same thing ?
We are in a state of emergency right now, he will say the quarantine must continue, the election must be delayed until the crisis is over. He will remain in charge to see us all through this unprecedented emergency. He will have all the support he needs...... We saw that the normal checks and balances are no longer operational. We are just months away from being a former democracy.

correct!
