The news is saying we should all be scared of disgruntled Bernie supporters [View all]

that won’t vote for Biden and OMG the Democratic Party is split.

I am sorry, but I don’t like being held hostage in this way.

If someone is going to vote for Trumpass in any manner, whether it be third party, staying home or actually be voting for the cretin in chief they can just fucking go to hell.

Get on board or go away. We can and will do it without them.

And I am not speaking of any DUers. I am speaking to the general news spin regarding this.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
