They say NOTHING will convince them to come over so.....

or one of those "they" come-latelys? Are we hearing this from the entire "they" community or just one of the more radical "they" factions?

murderer like Trump is on the ballot. If they need coaxing than they can fuck off...no use for people who don't understand that when your candidate loses, you vote for the nominee always, period...forever more.

than "they". Your vitriol is well thought out and bound for success.

not vote for the Democratic nominee or threaten to not vote for the Democratic nominee because their candidate lost in the Primary...well boohoo folks get over it. We need to defeat Trump. All that matters at the moment is getting Trump out. Biden is the nominee. He beat Sanders fair and square.; Voters chose Biden. So everyone should do the right thing and vote blue no matter who.

They say they're in solidarity. People choose to be aligned with the groups they're aligned with.

Getting rid of Trump has to be our focus. As Dr. Jill Biden memorably advised, "swallow a little and vote for Joe" if you can't get excited about the ticket. Anything less is enabling the dictator.

Having said that, I would like to see Kamala on the ticket because she is a badass and her fans went back at the Bernie Bros even harder!

bring down Sen Harris with all kinds of smears. Same with Sen Warren.. now they're doing it to Biden, of course.

I like Kamala for VP, too.. we'll see what happens.

And can’t you just say Bernie supporters?

which is ridiculous. But he gets it. Biden picks the VP best for the General.

My choice would be Elizabeth Warren or Senator Sanders. But I am already voting for Biden. Vote Blue no matter who.

Expressions of support for Sanders are made as a marker of political orientation. Expressing support for Sanders says 'I'm not a moderate, I'm well to the left of most people', and as with most such things, serves to identify a 'cool' group separate from the general run of 'squares'. People doing this do not even particularly want to prevail, in the sense of being in the majority. It is axiomatic that a majority can never be 'cool', the feeling of being 'hip' and part of an 'in-crowd' depends on being outnumbered by the host of the unwashed and unenlightened. The point is not to achieve any political goal, to secure any discrete reform, it is simply to be sure one is perceived as a particular, and special, kind of person.

People who have an actual interest in achieving the goals widespread among Democrats, the goals of all left and progressive and liberal persons in general, recognize readily Sanders is far too flawed as a politician, and as a personality, to make any progress towards their goals. They know Sanders has not achieved any measurable advance towards them in his long Congressional career. They know Sanders' claim to hold patents and copyrights on these goals is nonesense, because they know their own desires pre-date Sanders, and exist in their hearts and minds without the slightest reference to him or influence by him.

In short, while Sanders imagines himself to be the indispensable man, an overwhelming majority of Democratic voters are clear in their minds that Sanders is quite dispensable, and are determined to see him disposed of, as soon as possible.





"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."

but many progressives do have problems with her because of her time as a prosecutor. Plus she comes from a solid blue state and won't help flip any swing states.

But their are others that do as well that don’t have her baggage and could help flip a swing state.

They'll get back to you.

They will vote for IMPOTUS, 3Rd party, or not vote at all and claim their hurt fee fees as reason.
