Steady as it goes, Joe! Reasons not to steer left to appease Bernie supporters.

[UncleNoel]

It is simple reasoning:

1. A certain number of Sanders' supporters willnot vote at all, NO MATTER WHAT!
2. A certain number of Sanders' supporters will not vote for Biden, NO MATTER WHAT!
3. A large number of Sanders' supporters and voters are patriotic Americans who want to beat Trump and will switch to Biden, NO MATTER WHAT.
4. Steering Left will alienate more moderate Dems, independents and others who will vote Biden, but NOT No Matter What! S

Steady as it goes, Joe. We will tRumps Rump like a drum!

3. I wonder if Bernie would have won the nomination,

I wonder if Bernie would have won the nomination, would he or his supporters shift right for Biden? And if Bernie were to shift right, isn't he a "sell-out" too?

[question everything]

4. No, because all they want is to disrupt

If there will be a hint of some agreement, they will move the goal posts.

5. It's all a matter of scale.

Joe’s already got a $15 minimum wage in his platform, and that’s great.

Joe can say the ACA made pandemic testing free but Trump zeroed it out. That can be restored on day 1, unlike Medicare for all, which could take months or years.

He doesn’t have to go too far to the left. He just has to appeal to the majority of Americans, left and right, to defeat Trump handily.

6. +10000 EXACTLY!! But I don't think Joe will appease Bernie's base.

7. Those who say they won't vote for BS are also saying..

8. Biden is winning in a landslide

He's doing so by appealing to the middle. Let him continue to do his thing.

9. Appeasing Bernie has not worked

His people still voted for Trump or Jill Stein, actively encouraged by Sanders' top leadership.

Give Sanders no concessions.
