Now Bernie be the same.

step up to the plate FOR OUR TEAM

he suspended his campaign.
He seems to imagine that he was crushed even though Democrats want him to write the platform for the party. That is not supporting the Democratic nominee. I saw his suspension speech as just another not so veiled threat against the Democrats who dare to oppose him.

Frankly, I think we can win without people who can’t decide if they want to be on the right side of history or NOT.

And I know that might take time. But I want you to know that I see you, I hear you, and I understand the urgency of this moment. I hope you'll join us. You're more than welcome: You're needed.'

in that Twitter thread. Just too nasty. These people don't really care about issues, they just wanted to be on the winning team and now are unhappy that they are not.

Difficult to tell.

Real Bernie supporters are going with Joe 100%.

I'll believe it when Bernie's friends at the Intercept, Chapo, Jacobin, Bri Bri, Nina Turner et al begin to support our nominee.

they are a small number and we have much bigger targets to defeat!

I'm ignoring them for now. It's a good day, for a change.

Trolls, bots, disruptors abound. It's the American Election way.

but i assure you we are all attracted to bernie's (our) movement because of the issues.

i think mr biden's tweets are gracious and unifying. i will probably support him as soon as i catch my breath.

out

That’s your first mistake. It all bullshit. Any Bernie supporters who will not vote for Biden would most likely not vote anyway.

We don’t need those folks. They are unreachable anyway.

A great majority of Bernie supporters will vote Democratic.

It all about turnout.

Stop letting Twitter, Facebook or any other social media shit affect your judgment. Because it is all shit. Your best bet is deleting them all.

Life without social media is as good as it was before social media. Best decision I ever made. But people are addicted. My sister complains constantly about what she reads on it. When I advise her to eliminate them all she acts like I’ve told her to sacrifice her first born. I took her to Paris. She spent the entire time making sure she had great selfies for Facebook. Never gave a thought to actually enjoying Paris. Boggled my mind.

I’m telling you. It’s addictive.

So maybe it’s not affecting your judgement. And I apologize for that. I don’t have a clue.

But it sure as hell affected your reaction. You reacted to post by people you’ve never known, never will know and might not be what they seem. Might not even be real.

And that’s my point. Social Media is a cesspool. If you respond to it they are dragging you into their cesspool. They like it there.

I don’t know you from Adam. But with family and friends when I tell them they should delete Facebook, Twitter hell all of them, it’s like telling a junkie to stay away from smack. They can’t do it. Even if they admit it is not good.

I commented on it here.

I love the part where he channeled Obama's 2008 victory speech: "And to Bernie’s supporters: I know that I need to earn your votes. And I know that might take time. But I want you to know that I see you, I hear you, and I understand the urgency of this moment. I hope you'll join us. You're more than welcome: You're needed."

Hurrah for Mr. Biden!

The next President of these United States!





"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."

and class. For all that Joe was not my 1st choice, I never doubted that he is a good man.

Seriously, won't it be so wonderful to have a president with grace and class again?

"Bernie has an incredible following. Bernie's one of probably a half a dozen people in American history who may not be the nominee but has had an impact on American politics in a significant way...and a positive way," Biden said.

"So if I'm the nominee, I can tell you one thing: I would very much want Bernie to be part of the journey, engaging in all the things he's worked so hard to do, many of which I agree with."

Nothing. No unifying. No Joe won fair and square.

Nope...

You obviously didn't watch Bernie's speech. But nevermind.

I'm movin' on with Joe, watch how he works with the candidate you don't trust. I'm pretty sure he wants Bernie's youth vote, and pretty sure Bernie wants Democrats to beat BD so much that he'll work with Joe to get better youth turnout which, so far, hasn't worked well for Bernie.

from wikipedia:

Think what you want. I’m tired of trying to think the best of Bernie. I don’t think any of those things anymore.

Young people refuse to come out and vote. That is every election. Loss of faith. If you have no faith to give.

Then you know that he did "talk of unity" in that video. So if you're tired of trying to think the best of Bernie, leave that up to Biden, and at least don't deny positive things Bernie actually does say.

I agree on your take on the youth vote. I think that Biden, though, still wants to try Bernie's methods of drawing that vote.

We'll see.

Yes, I really wanted Bernie. But at least with Biden, we will have Biden’s ear. It is important we both support Biden and keep on him about the importance of at least working towards Medicare For All.

I changed my avatar to show solidarity.

We need you!

All those who stood with Bernie - WE are standing here with arms open wide for you guys. Come aboard and be embraced! And together let’s get some work done! Very much including your man’s key issues. Actually, we ALL want those same things (speaking as one so-described!).

Thanks for being kind. I will be aboard. We need to get that Orange Menace out of the WH! I hope more Bernie supporters do the same. After all, if we say the movement is about more than Bernie, then we know to look at the big picture.

Don't let pundits and RWers divide you.

Eyes on the prize. Get Trump out before he completely destroys the country.

Kind, considerate, congenial, generous, humble, l I appreciative, inclusive. And a good tweet-writer, too!

Ignore the cyber-cesspool...they're either very young immature Americans or very savvy meddling Russians.

Love Joe!

Very nicely done.

And Joe would probably like to see much of the change Bernie has proposed, but Joe realizes, I think, that radical change won't fly immediaty. It has to be done a step at a time in many instances.

We were making great progress with 8 years of Obama, then got this. 🤮

I give Sanders credit, too, for suspending his campaign, not dragging the process out and giving his supporters enough time to acclimate to and accept Biden.
