Bernie is shifting into the phase where he does everything in his power to reelect Trump. He started today. He held a special 1 pm news conference just to attack Joe Biden and let everyone know he's going to continue campaigning and inflicting his insufferable persona on us for a little while longer.

Bernie honestly behaves a whole lot like a Russian asset. Constantly attacking "the Establishment" and anyone with pragmatic, achievable goals. I'm not saying he definitely is a Russian asset, but he certainly acts like one. He's also ducked at least two sanctions vote on Russian oligarchs since 2016, and he actually voted against Russian sanctions once as well.

I don't know if he likes oligarchs or just Russian ones?

Most important of John’s point: “They want, in other words, what Bernie Sanders was selling them. They just don’t want to buy it from Sanders. Why? Because those things, as of right now, are less important than defeating Trump.” I agree 100%.

I mailed in my FL ballot 2 days ago, and voted for Biden, my 4th choice. Warren was my 1st choice. In choosing between Sanders and Biden, I was mainly motivated by my desire to flip the senate blue. With Sanders at the top of the ticket, flipping the senate seats blue in Arizona, Maine, Iowa, North Carolina, and now Montana (with Bullock just announcing) would be effectively impossible, in my view. We would also lose Doug Jones’ senate seat in Alabama.

If we don’t flip the senate blue, we get 4 more years of Mitch McConnell’s senate, and we can forget about passing any legislation to address health care, inequality, and climate change . . .

FYI: Amy Klobuchar was my 2nd choice.
