8. Nonsense. Who do you want, Biden or Trump?

End of discussion.

I loved Bernie's policies in 2016. But it ain't 2016 anymore.

We need to get the incompetent criminal out of the White House.
That is the most important "political revolution" for today.

Even Bernie admits, the majority of Democrats want Joe Biden because he gives us the best chance to defeat Trump.

The other things, like M4A, Biden has alternatives that are more likely to pass. They don't go as far as Barnie's policies do but they move the progressive ball down the field.

If Trump wins reelection, none of the other stuff matters.

Joe Biden proved he was clearly much stronger in Michigan than Bernie. That is a key battleground state. Joe Biden was born and raised in Scranton, PA is is two digits ahead of Bernie there. He's also ahead of Trump there. Swing those two states, along with Hillary's states and you've got a tie EV vote. Trump has to run the table and he's behind Biden in many other battleground states - like Ohio, Florida, North Carolina or Arizona - where Bernie is not as strong. That's why Trump is so afraid of Joe.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
