Biden can win the presidency without 100% of Bernie's supporters [View all]

It does not matter that Biden won't get 100% of Bernie's supporters because he doesn't need them to win the presidency. Biden's path to the presidency was African American supporters, suburban White women, and college educated White people, and that was before the virus shut down the nation. After this virus, Biden will be able to expand his support even further tp non-college educated Whites as well.

The "Bernie or bust" people are small in numbers and don't live in those parts of the country that can tip the election. There's simply not enough of them in Macomb county MI or Sandusky county, OH to swing the election. In fact, appeasing them too much may actually hurt Biden's overall chances with other groups.

This election will be a referendum on the character of this nation. No matter what people think of Biden, the alternative is a living nightmare of dystopian proportions. If this country put this asshole back in power, it's not worth living in.

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