Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries

(25,195 posts)24. We need to go at this election
with the attitude of "we need everyone we can get". I think the Sanders supporters were mightily pissed four years ago because of the underhanded way that the Democratic National Committee was seen to conspire secretly with the Hillary Clinton campaign in a way that Joe Biden's campaign has not been seen to do.
Yes, persuading so-called centrist candidates to support Joe Biden has been a bone of contention for some Sanders supporters, but at least it was all done above board. That gives me some hope, but hopefully the IT consultants to the DNC learned a lesson from four years ago, and won't let a weak password (or whatever exposed Podesta's emails) to happen again.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

That is from her mouth. She is also encouraging other progressives to do the same.

Nothing will endear these people to vote for Biden, if Trump doesn't already do it. Nothing.

They will NEVER support Biden. They elected Trump the first time and will do so again.

How many people believe Donald Trump will win if Bernie supporters throw a tantrum again?
