Alright, so in the instance this doesn't pan out [View all]

I can already see the blame being laid on the group or Bernie supporters that didn’t go for Biden.

Let me just say, obviously, I’ll vote for the nominee. So I’m not a ‘take my ball and go home Bernie Bro’ (of which I’ve actually never met any).

But support is being given to Biden it seems, with the simultaneous acknowledgment, and point of criticism, that a segment of his supporters will indeed not support Biden, or anyone else.

I’m of the option that to win the GE we will need to win by at least 10%, probably more like 15%-20%, given all the GOP election ratfucking.

So Lets be clear the ‘Bernie or nobody else’ people are not democrats.. and Biden will need to win this election by earning all the votes he can, and overcoming a GOP slanted election system.

I hope I’m just being overly pessimistic. And I’ll get as many people As I can out to vote for Biden if he’s the guy.

I’m just saying, I’m getting flashbacks of 2016.

Looking forward to being proved wrong
