Jacobin is already hedging their bets that Sanders will lose today...

[George II]

....and claiming the primary results are illegitimate.

No Election That Endangers Voters Is Legitimate

That's all I'm going to post, go to the link if you want to read more. And they're trying put the blame for having to vote today on Biden! What a toxic publication, and of course Katie Halper doesn't disclose that she's a de facto Sanders surrogate.

1. I figured this was coming

It will be a trial balloon for November when Trump loses. He will claim that the election was illegitimate, that there was voter fraud, etc etc etc. Then he will appeal it to SCOTUS - we shall see what happens then.

2. Perfect time for Sanders to concede and get behind Biden

[onetexan]

15. we already knew he wasn't going away quietly...quite the opposite

[Walleye]

24. I'm starting to question his motives.

[Sloumeau]

3. There has never been a law written that I have seen that says that an election is illegitimate

if it is held when a pandemic is going on. Also, the 1864 Presidential election happened in the midst of the American Civil War. So, fear of death has not invalided any election that I know of. Katie Halper is as wrong about this as she is about everything else, including her neverending support for Bernie Sanders.

5. Whenever my body starts running low on its stupidity level

I can always count on Katie Halper for a double-dose booster shot to bring it back up.

6. Sanders has been down double-digits for more than a month.

He was down nearly 30 points in the most recent poll.

His loss was inevitable, CV or no CV. The constant excuse making and ignorance of reality is getting rather tiresome.

7. How is it Biden's fault?

That is some twisted pretzel logic right there.

Are they aware that there are many, many other elections on that ballot today? What did Biden have to do with that?

[George II]

8. As they like to do (Jacobin, Gray, et. al.) they took part of a sentence Biden uttered....

....about a week ago and blew it way out of proportion.

He was asked how they could conduct the primary today. Biden was musing (paraphrasing, not an exact quote) "well, they can vote in person if they maintain distances between the voters and wipe down the machines, but the best way would be absentee/mail-in voting"

That became merely "they can vote in person". Period!

They did that with is comments on Social Security years ago (he had the SAME position as Sanders, BTW) and other issues.

[mcar]

9. This is appalling

Do they want Trump to get reelected?

[George II]

10. Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these people take lessons from Karl Rove.

[BGBD]

21. Of course they do.

Some of them still think Bernie can win and others think if they get Trump elected they can run Bernie again in 24.

[Cha]

13. omg.. they need to take a good long look

at themselves in the mirror and think about what they do. Ask themselves if they've had any part in BS Losing this primary?

[Scurrilous]

28. Biden - 'I think you can hold the election as well with mail-in-ballots and same day registration.'

From his Live Now thingy.

The socialists turn that into Biden wants to kill people. Because same day registration is a form of voting ergo Biden wants everyone to line up at the polls on election day, get sick, and die. It's obvious he wants people to vote by mail but also allow same day registration for those who aren't registered and wish to vote. LOL What a bunch of sad lying losers.

And the 'scrubbing down' quote was when he was discussing the difference between holding a convention and people going to the polls. As in convention 'no way' but going to the polls 'maybe' if done this way. Like with the aforementioned SS, anything brought up in a discussion is that person's firmly held belief.

[Hortensis]

11. :) EVERYTHING bad is the Democrats' fault, you know that.

That includes everything conservatives do. If we weren't like them we'd stop them, and since we don't that proves there's no difference. Circular logic of twisted minds about as capable of rational and responsible decisions as the worst trumpsters -- with whom most have a great deal in common.

I really doubt that those who slid down the Sanders rabbit hole will be coming back. There'll always be opportunistic pretzel-twisters who have their number. Literally and figuratively.

[Cha]

12. Ha! I knew that was coming Before she wrote it. I see the name

katie halper and I know she supports BS.

[Scurrilous]

14. That site is a clown show.

Like they have any say in whether an election is valid or not.

[Cha]

16. Right on! No say.

StaySafe, Scurrilous

19. Did I hear Katie Halper is working for the Bernie Sanders campaign?

17. "Biden is marooned at home and Sanders works from Washington."

That's from the article. It's also one of the least suck-up-to-Sanders lines contained therein. Guess which other "news" source they quoted? THE HILL!

18. Sanders Lost and in Washington.. Biden The Winner is Being

Responsible Staying at Home like Millions of other Americans and citizens of Every Country on Earth.

[George II]

23. I didn't catch that. Except for the three votes on March 23/25 he wasn't seen in Washington...

....since early January. And that was for a mere three or four days. Before that, his last day in Washington was June 28! He was AWOL for more than six months, missing more than 240 consecutive votes.

"Sanders works from Washington"? Perhaps, but only when he works, which hasn't been too often over the last nine months.

On the other hand Biden has been working with top GOVERNMENT advisers, not political advisers, every day for months. And if he's needed for any reason in Washington, he's less than two hours away by car!

[Walleye]

25. He's in the summer White House in Wilmington 😉

[hack89]

20. They are also claiming that the results from Illinois, Florida, and Arizona were also illegitimate.

Poor Bernie - everyone is out to get him.

27. Jacobin was always cuckoo but now it is in full-fledged psychosis

29. What do you expect from a magazine that names itself after

a brutal post-French Revolution regime?

30. When Bernie pulls out

Jacobin will become extinct
