Stop with the "Bernie supporters did this... Bernie supporters did that".

There is nothing wrong with talking with another candidate and working to ensure your group/follower's interests are represented and/or incorporated - and that includes discussions about cabinet positions, or vital inputs into various recommendations in the future. THAT's POLITICS.

It's not right to be attributing nefarious complaints about unnamed Bernie supporters. Not here.

Just leave it, please?

Thank you.

and you'll see what's going on.

I hadn't spent as much time as usual scanning Twitter for posts about Biden the last few days, but this morning when I was just searching for

biden

one of those posts accusing Biden and Yang of a quid pro quo popped up fairly quickly, and I searched and saw how many of them there were.

So I decided to post about it here, so DUers can shoot this lie down wherever they find it.


Editing to add that I've added a sentence to the first paragraph of the OP, directing people to this reply so they can use that Twitter keyword-search link for themselves.

Since most of this nonsense starts with, and is perpetuated by, his senior campaign staff (the "dementia" nonsense, the "Where is Biden?" nonsense, etc.), there's nothing wrong with pointing out that it's nonsense. His staff has done more to push unfounded rumors and undermine Sanders than "unnamed Bernie supporters" have.

If Sanders supporters have more of a problem with the nonsense being called out than with the false smears in the first place, that's part of the problem.

That's dangerous.

And the people constantly bashing Bernie supporters will be totally stunned and accept no responsibility.

Hating people and calling them cultists doesn’t bring them to your side? Who’d have thought.

and they continue to exceed my expectations. It's time for those people to crawl back to wherever they came from.

Not necessarily a cabinet position, but yes, obviously, Yang has been offered a position in a future Biden administration. It's not ambiguous. Why are people trying to deny this?

Doesn't mean any actual position was offered.

Let alone a cabinet position.

Nor was there an offer made to get Yang to drop out and endorse Biden, as those Sanders supporters are alleging.

My guess is that Yang told Biden he'd be happy to help in any way he could, and Biden politely told him they'd appreciate his help.

You mean politics might be involved in a primary? I need my fainting couch...

What in pluperfect Hell is supposed to be wrong with Mr. Biden offering Mr. Yang some inducement to get on board with Mr. Biden's campaign? This is how politics is, this is what effective politics looks like. This is dirt normal as bacon and eggs for breakfast. At least when Mr. G.B. Shaw was said to have made his life's work 'Declaring the obvious in terms of the scandalous' he did so with some style and illumination. This is just ignorant pretense and self-righteous priggery on display.



"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

a primary where Biden massacred Sanders....boy these folks are desperate.
