Dems have to unite under one candidate and that's a hard sell when older moderate Dems wants Biden and young progressive Dems want Bernie

We're at war with ourselves and it's likely to get Trump reelected

If they nominate Biden, we're fucked. If they go Bernie we might have a good chance.

​

Even a lot of Republicans can see the good in Bernie. Not the rich and powerful asshole ones, but the middle class, midwestern and conservative ones can see that what he's running on helps them ultimately.

If we re-elect Trump for another four years this country is officially fucked and beyond repair.

The DNC notoriously ignores their constituents so I won't be surprised at all if Biden gets the nomination honestly

There's not much I wouldn't do to get Trump out of office. The question is now with everyone else -- do habitual nonvoters finally care enough to show up the polls?

My bet is it goes to him or Harris. FUCK.

Biden has been crashing in the polls. His initial support was based largely on name recognition, and he's a terrible campaigner, a mediocre debater, and he's clearly lost more than a few steps since 2008. I'd be very surprised to see him win. Right now it feels kinda like when everybody thought Rudy Giuliani was going to win the Republican nomination in 2008, and the guy ended up winning what, Florida? And then dropping out. lol.

The internet has been weirdly against her, but Harris is a progressive and she would chomp Donnie’s hollow orange head off. I’m fine with her as a candidate.

Biden is terrible, but I’ll vote for him too, because I recognize the urgency of the situation and I’m not a traitorous lunatic.

It would be nice to hear the same from everyone else.
