Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Sanders stays, so his movement can live on by dragging Biden leftward [View all]Squinch
(56,539 posts)3. The Democratic voters have rejected BSs leftward drag.
This isn't about BS anymore. He lost. The party doesn't owe him a participation prize any more than they owe one to all the other candidates who have dropped out.
The voters have chosen to go for realistic and attainable goals rather than talking about things that will never pass.
BS needs to stop dividing the party at this time when we need unity more than at any other time. I would say he needs to take a page from Pete and Amy and support the party, but that'll never happen. So at the very least he needs to stop acting like any of this is about him anymore.
It isn't.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

OP
Fuck the excuses. If Joe needed to move left more would be voting for Bernie than Joe.

Unless Bernie runs 3rd party it is literally impossible for him to be a spoiler.

And no matter how far left Biden goes to placate Bernie's followers, it will never be far enough

How about working via the legislative means (the House and / or Senate) to get these things ...

The beatings Bernie is about to take in Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, etc. are not going to help

Biden won't be dragged anywhere. Bernie's the one to be dragged. To the curb, for antiquers to find.
