Is there any normal thinking person out there [View all]

who thinks Joe Biden must earn every fucking Bernie vote and if he doesn’t earn it to their satisfaction, then what?

In this environment all that should matter is kicking the Trumpass to the curb.

I am sorry. I literally cannot stand Sanders. He would never be able to earn my vote. But if he were the nominee, I would vote for him out of a concern for self preservation and love of country and democracy. Not based on some selfish equation where someone needs to cater to my political whims

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