As long as he insists on still seeking the nomination, folks need to be reminded of his failures as a leader.

The supporters of Joe Biden and his program proposals are just as passionate as the Sanders supporters..

First, it was "dementia".

Then, it was that Biden had disappeared.

Now, it's a sexual assault story that even Fox News won't touch.

A better question might be: when will you have had enough of your candidate's campaign promoting false smears?

Giving my opinion on the Primary race? Is that not what this forum is for?

Of hoping to defeat Donald Trump in November? Is that not what DU is all about?

Of supporting the leading Democrat in the primary race? I will never have enough of that.

So, what do you think I should have had enough of? I have had quite enough of attempts to defeat Democrats who run for President. Of that, I have had more than enough.

Then, I will shift to GOTV efforts to help that nominee win. At this time, there are still two candidates. I support Joe Biden for the nomination. I will continue to point out why Senator Sanders should withdraw, because he cannot win the nomination and we need to move on to the next phase in defeating Trump.

it’s what so called centrists are content with that drives me looney.

you call “Centrists” on this website are actually progressives who have a different idea of how to get to the same goals. They believe that these goals will only be achieved through incrementalism and compromise. That’s what I believe, at least.

I think you explained it very well. I'm so tired of being called a "centrist" or "moderate". It is a political tactic that denigrates a large portion of the Democratic party. Who gets to decide who is liberal?

in November. I'm not content with that idea at all.

before us was rejected. Liz Warren was the brightest and most creative of the good mob we began with. So,

blue no matter who.

I often see a misconception among BS followers about what "centrists" stand for. I think that there is much overlapping in regards to basic principles but different paths to get there. Promises and ideas aren't enough, you need a way to achieve it as well.
So instead of being vague and assuming what a non-monolithic group believes, why not voice what you are "looney" about.

I'll start with some examples that too many believe only BS stands for or has plans for: (Affordable) healthcare for all, fair wages, climate change, affordable education.

Where we differ is on the solutions to our problems and the person most capable of solving those problems. Many of us are not "centrists" or "moderates". We just don't think Bernie is the right person for this moment and we don't all agree with his approach for fixing the many issues facing us.

There is so much more to being president than a laundry list of policies and big rallies. A president has to be a decision maker and a diplomat, capable of compromise. He/she has to be flexible, able to absorb new ideas and points of view. And right now people need more hope and inspiration and less angry indignation.

You explained it much better than I did.

If you had surgically analyzed what Sanders was sloganeering, youd have known that none of his false promises had an iota of a chance of passing.

One cannot complain about being hungry and simply dream of steak and lobster. That will cause death by starvation.

Prudent hungry people start with crackers, ramen noodles, mac & cheese and a can of beans. Then keep working towards a hot dog, then hamburgers and keep marching towards their steak and lobster.

I suspect he knows this, and if he does not, that is an even heavier charge against him.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"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."
