27. Why not simply move on and forget Bernie and his bros?

At this point I doubt Bernie will ever concede. Hell, I bet he'll still be howling about how "the elites" and "the establishment" stole it from him the day after Biden is inaugurated.

I wonder if it makes sense for all Dems to start the national campaign as if Bernie doesn't even exist. Because as a leader, an "inspiration" as a progressive even--he doesn't.

If it's Biden versus Trump, and Sanders continues this shit, then it'll be obvious (if it isn't already) that Bernie and his hard core supporters would prefer a Trump victory. I think Susan Sarandon's statement in 2016 still reflects their thinking: that the more people suffer, the better the chances of "the revolution" happening. As long as they're not the ones suffering, of course.

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