Like I said, I know and agree. I just don't think Bernie is saying he's giving up his ideals and that it was never about that.
Biden clenches the nomination.

As I said, it's about not being blamed for the Dems' failures for another 4 years.
Which lets be honest he will be. He'll still be blamed for having ideas, wanting a better world, not assaulting women, being able to speak, and his distinct ability to beat Trump. He set the bar to high for a political candidate, what with his political ideas and all. How dare Bernie actually try! He should be more like Ol' Joe and swagger around with his pants down waiting for the nurse to give him a tug-job and give him some vanilla pudding while quoting the Andy Griffith thinking he actually did those things.
I'm pretty sure Bernie endorsed HIllary last time around, so he's basically doing what he did last time. Whether he cares about being blamed for it or not, I'm not sure. He just knows that even Biden will be better than Trump. And that's not saying a whole lot, but I still don't think I'd respect Bernie anymore if he took the "fuck all y'all, I'm taking my ball home with me" stance. Aside from refusing to take a stance, since it's not like there's any viable third-party candidates that fit Bernie's profile, so it's not like he has any "good" options anyway.
Any one that votes for this ***** in a box stand after all this over, clearly could not give a f@ck about the fate of the country or the world at large, and only care about screwing minorities over, getting money (they most likely won't get), and are just too dumb/spiteful to live. But mostly dumb. If things keep getting worse or better, and y'all dumbasses still vote for him, history will show you for all the foolishness you displayed with your beloved buffoon. I don't wanna hear "We had no choice!", "It sounded like a good idea at the time." or "It was us or them!" Whoever "them" is. All I have to say is:
Can we get Sima Yi for president at this point?
I did know not about the rape allegations? Regardless if he did it or not, you just don't blow off victims like that or for convenience! For his sake, I hope did not do it. But if he did, I would be beyond upset and dissapointed in him, feminists, and the democratic party that tried covering it up or blowing it off. Definitely does make any of you look good nor better than the other side.
Like, morally Bernie *had* to endorse Biden. The DNC fucked him over but if he didn't make the effort to get his base to vote for their candidate, it would only help the Republicans. If the GOP win they'll probably be able to pack the supreme court with conservatives and overturn Roe vs Wade, and then have a go at oppressing LGBT+ people and maybe some ethnic minorities.
I believe I recall an article claiming he cost her the election in 2016 for not supporting her quickly enough. I'd expect them to do something similar now too in the event Biden loses.
Yeah, so basically those people are gonna give him shit no matter what, and likely will if/when Biden loses. Those are the groups you have nothing to gain from catering to in any case, as they do not really criticize in good faith, but rather use one criticism as camouflage for another.
Yep, exactly why Biden is still getting my vote. I'm more concerned about regressing back to the 1980s than progressing forward at this time. Way too much is on the line for it this time.
But Biden is worse than the 1980s. The 80s were too progressive for Biden. He's a 60s man, and Trump is a 50s man. One is clearly better than the other, but don't think either are good.
Not saying he's good at all. He's my very reluctant choice due to circumstances outside of my control. In this election, most likely won't for future elections, I will choose the lesser of two evils.
See, this is what the Never Biden people don't understand.
We absolutely cannot allow a corporatist with allegations of sexual abuse to be president. Especially one who has said and done racist things in the past. It's not the moral option. Anyone who cares about ethics has to make the correct decision in the upcoming election.
Okay which corporatist with allegations of sexual abuse and a racist past are you against? From my count there are 2 running in this election, neither of which can speak in complete sentences and both of which are senile cooks whose glory days are not only 30 years behind them, but were mostly made up retroactively
I mean, one of the two is easier to bully with bad poll numbers and public opinion.
...yeah, not exactly a full-throated endorsement, I know

Well there goes any hope I had for this election.
Looks like I'll be throwing my vote away on a third party again since I can't in good conscience vote for either the democratic or the republican nominee.
Now I'll be the scapegoat for democrats letting Trump win when they chose to go with one of the worst candidates they had.

Hey, remember when the hardcore Bernie supporters were saying it was better Trump won than Clinton, because it'd make the Dems go hard left next time? Yeah...
Anyhoo, I get why people don't want to vote for Biden, I really do. But, assuming that you get anything like a free and fair election (and that's not a given), you've got all of two options.
Not voting for Clinton because she wasn't Sanders got the US 4 years of Trump and Biden as the Dem candidate. Not voting for him because he's not Sanders won't be any better this time.

At this rate I'll accept the death of the Democrat party. Because they seem too stupid to realize how hard they're making things for themselves.
Or of course that they don't care if Trump wins because to the heads of the DNC, Trump is better than Sanders.

I feel that.
2016 was the best chance we had for third parties and the most popular one only got 3% of the popular vote; if they had gotten at least 5%, it would have qualified the Libertarian party for FEC funding...
Feels bad man
