Ugh

If his endorsement mattered he wouldn’t have been crushed in the primary.

When you've finished sulking, please let us know.

VP Biden and the Democratic Establishment before they get behind a 3rd party candidate or worse, the MF himself.

Accusing Joe of assault 36 years ago. So I wouldn’t count on that.

I’ll put my money on them continuing to disrupt.

He is a stiff-necked old bird, who has difficulty with political realities.

The concession is sufficient endorsement.

His most devoted followers will shift without missing a beat to denouncing Sanders as a sell-out who has betrayed the 'Bernie' movement. He has never been able to exercise leadership, and his endorsement really is not worth much in consequence.





"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."

Taking satisfaction in his seeing reality should be good enough, considering his modus operandi. As for the drifting remainders, well, you're gonna' have them......

There are a ton of people in my class's gc saying they're going to write in Bernie and are very angry. He probably wants to give his supporters time to seethe.

and he LOST Spending 4x More $$$$ than Joe Biden Did to Win.

And, they were part of that.

They don't give a shite about the Supreme Court, America or The Planet.

It's weak and total bullshit

C'mon, Senator Sanders. Be big enough. You're halfway there, having finally conceded to reality. Go all the way. Your country needs you now.

We can take a few weeks of doing that. Let’s have some stories and meetings between the two and strategizing together.

Then get the endorsement out with fanfare.

Someone only out for himself and his ego?

His default setting.

Nothing to be done about it.

in the long run.

All he cares about is himself. Watch him try to run on a third party platform if we don't give him everything he wants in ours.

More time to bash "the Establishment"?

Will he try to paint Biden as a reckless candidate who endangers other people's lives?

Will he say he's re-evaluating his options as an Independent? (come on, would that really shock you?).

Hope he does it before the election.

"My endorsement won't do anything. Biden has to 'earn' my supporters' votes" (which is a dog-whistle for his supporters to 'vote their conscience' and vote for Trump.)

Very, very good Democrat

I thought Sanders' concession speech was good enough. We were all bitching and begging for him to drop out and he did, thank God. He coulda dragged it out to the bitter end like 2016 but we don't have to worry about that now. At least this should make some of his more extremist public supporters STFU, so just be thankful for that.

All in all, Bernie did good today. Deserves a second ATTABOY, BERNIE!

voted for Warren and neither Biden or Sanders are my first choices.

I hope people can stop the bitterness. But, I don't expect it.

endorsed Biden when they suspended their campaigns either. They all did soon afterward but it was a helluva lot more important that they do so at that time with yet more crucial primaries looming dead ahead.

Bernie did what he had to do so don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Expect Warren and many other high-ranking Dems to come out and endorse soon. And get ready for Obama to make an appearance and do the same.

Sanders ain't the enemy...Trump is, along with his entire rotten Republican rearguard. We all better snap outta our Sanders sniping routine and start focusing on the fascists.

He literally had NO WHERE to go. It was either drop out or discredit the "progressive" movement for a generation.

What did they expect...for Joe to lead Bernie out on a leash and his hands and knees and have BS lick his shoes and kiss Jill's wedding ring? I'm 99.99% sure that Biden and his boys are pleased with today's events...so I fail to see why DUers aren't also satisfied and exhaling a big sigh of relief.

Considering where we were just a short 5 or 6 weeks ago, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. It ain't even mid-April and we already have our presumptive nominee...unlike the bitter bloodbaths of 2008 and 2016. Maybe old habits are just hard to break...some folks here have been bashing Bernie for so long (myself included at times) that they are at a loss as to what to do now. No doubt in my mind what's next...besides, reading umpteen threads and posts about how Bernie needs to drop out was getting mighty old mighty fast anyway.

I'm just looking forward to BO entering the public limelight again and start joining the fray...we all know how anything Obama drives the Fuhrer totally up the wall. Hard to believe Trump can possibly get any more unhinged, but if anybody can push him completely over the edge Barack can.

And you may be correct in your analysis of the situation.

had experience with this kind of situation before.

That would be nice if it were correct.

Thre is no certainty of a good outcome. There is not even surety of good faith, and the desire for a good outcome, on Sanders' part.

Bernie's campaign and surrogates are. Big difference.

No need to cry yourself to sleep though, it's just DU

So many people posting, some just get lost in the crowd, especially those who seem to have nothing to say.

Haven't we seen the play book before?

not even rinsed

… I mean, why bother? We all know from the beginning anyway.

By not at once getting behind Joe completely , and without hesitation giving all his support , and asking his supporters do the same. By not doing it now will reduce Biden's numbers in the main election , which is unacceptable , period. His refusal now shows he wasn't presidential material, and isn't for beating trump if he doesn't get his way on some things. Socialist shouldn't be allowed on a Democratic ticket again. What's next if Biden refuses any of his proposals, he runs as a third party candidate ?
