Bias... or some other excuse?

good day

She would be a great pick IMO.

do you think that if she were Biden's veep candidate other Bernie supporters such as yourself would go along with Biden more willingly?

The problem is that Biden supporters would hate that idea, as she's not very popular with them. So the solution is to pick a VP that both sides accept. To me the only pick that would unite us both would be Warren. It would be a great compromise pick for both sides.

… have been utterly vicious to her for this endorsement. The sexism and religious bigotry was awful at JPR.

I won't say what else I think of her - TOS violation.

I'm sticking with Bernie, no doubt. But his path is very remote.

But Biden needs our votes (he has mine for sure in the GE). He will be smart to reach out to progressives.

… people who care about progressive policies or the hordes of Berners who hurled all sorts of hate at Tulsi today?

Who is progressive besides Bernie? I'm interested in which politicians Bernie supporters find are progressive.

Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, and thousands of others. It's not impossible to throw a bone to the most motivated 36% of your party's base.

Most motivated?


They not motivated to vote apparently.

Come on. We know there are lots of trolls out there posing as crazy Bernie supporters.

Because she is.

We know Putin has been trying to divide us, and also putting out trolls to "support" Bernie. I think that either (A) those trolls are clumsy, or (B) they are actually trying to make Bernie look bad. Either way, Bernie told them to go to hell, and told Putin to knock it off. Not that Putin cares.

as Bernie except maybe Nina Turner, right?

Sorry, no. She picked a feud with Hillary Clinton. I'm no Clinton supporter, in fact I'm usually quite critical of Hillary Clinton. By Gabberd went out of her way to get in a fight with Clinton. That's bad politics. Plus her associations with Modi and with Assad show just bad judgement

She's a young POC with military background and won 2 delegates, which is 2 more than Harris. But I think she's still single and that might be a dealbreaker.

TBH I think the Assad thing is the dealbreaker. She wasn't on my radar much before last summer, so I'm just going by how she performed in the debates, but there seems to be a lot of earlier baggage. So it probably won't be Tulsi.

Putin's nose under the tent.

How do you suppose a nobody from Hawaii with no support, kept her campaign going til the bitter end?

No, can't say I envy Biden. Assuming he wins the nomination (most likely) and the election (much harder, given Putin, COVID, and Trump's Russiapublican rigging machine, plus Bernie's stronger general election message), he will have one giant mess to clean up.

know how they were not hidden.

Maybe she was hedging her bets because she knew one of them would gain the nomination? Angling for VP perhaps?

We are a big tent party, and she's welcome in the tent, but I don't think she's qualified for ringmaster

she obviously expected to have far more support than she received.
