Biden's policies will help more people since he has a better shot at getting elected. Both have an equal amount to attack Trump on because we've all been watching the same shitshow the last 3.5 years. Bernie hardly has any independent backers at all. The vast, vast majority of independents in the US are either conservative or moderate. This has changed in recent years but it's still a clear majority. Biden's policies are closer to what most Democrats want. More people voted for Biden. There was a primary process that determined a clear majority of voters prefer Biden over Sanders, even if they backed Sanders over Clinton 4 years ago. Democratic voters decided Biden looks stronger against Trump, and it wasn't even close.

I voted for Sanders in 2016 and then Clinton, and I'll still vote for him in June to boost his delegate count, and then Biden in November. I live in this world.

Yeah you can just ignore posts made with good will that go against what you wish was true like this guy

[redbreegull]

the thing I can't defend is the assault allegation. if the guy is a rapist, he's a rapist and it's ugly and disgusting, but are we going to sentence innumerable people to suffering, gov't discrimination, targeting, and damage our whole society in order to keep a rapist out? I mean... there's already a rapist in, so it's pretty much status quo and there's no third choice so

[redbreegull]

btw I protested kavanaugh on the steps of SCOTUS and it was honestly one of the saddest days of my life. I would honestly put it up next to election day 2016. i've never been to a sadder, angrier protest and it's something that will always stick with me. I don't love Biden. I don't even like him. But the only morality I am concerned with is the one that helps the greatest number of people and harms to fewest.

[redbreegull]

the funny thing is socialists are supposed to be about the needs of the many over the needs of the few, but people like squish squash make it all about the individual.

Squish Squash already told you his vote means nothing in Missouri.

you have made it clear you don't think any bernie supporters should/would support Biden even if it means 4 more years of trump, in fact that is part of your grand strategy to install the dictatorship of the proleteriat by 2028

Ah, we're devolving into "Squish Squash is a commie" now, are we? I never said Bernie supporters should do anything, I'm just telling you quite a few of them won't be voting for Biden. I don't want Trump to keep being president, but I'm not seeing a scenario where he doesn't win given what an utterly inept, absolute SHIT candidate Biden is (IDGAF if he actually beat Bernie or not. I dispute that, but even if he did he is still a horrible candidate objectively speaking) and the scandals he has attached to him. Combine this with the insanely low level of enthusiasm Biden has amongst even his supporters, and you Trump might actually win the popular vote. Let's not forget the voter suppression going on, either.

no, don't deflect. you have made it crystal clear, like the air in India under covid-19 lockdown, that you don't believe biden is better than trump and you even think it's preferential to endure 4 more years of trump than biden, regardless of judicial and legislative implications, because the socialist messiah is coming in 2024 (btw AOC can't run until 2028)

you said it, now back it up chump

[Squish Squash]

AOC can run in 2024, look it up. She will be 35 before the vote takes place. I'd rather have 4 years of Biden in a vacuum, of course, but I fear what that will do for the future. How are we going to make the progress we need if we keep electing people like Biden, Breeg? Answer me that.

you fear but you have no evidence or precedent. it's just your feelings. people who have devoted their entire lives to political science can't predict the future... I'm sure your friends on reddit and facebook have cracked the code though...


I hope you enjoy the dictatorship. You've proved yourself to be low-information enough that I feel confident telling you AOC can't be legally considered for president in 2024 because she won't be 35 at the time of her filing her candidacy according to multiple state supreme court decisions that you won't even research it. have a nice 7:04 PM eastern daylight time

Fair enough on AOC. I guess I was misinformed. That’s unfortunate as I think she has quite a career ahead of her.

You really think Trump will be able to declare himself dictator without getting overthrown?

[redbreegull]

I love the math involved, it's beautiful

Tell me how it’s wrong. The current Democratic Party is pretty right wing.

Why are you okay with a right wing party passing itself off as the left wing party?
