You'd be saying this regardless of who the Dem nominee was. It's a daily affirmation to distract yourself from the fact that your "side" got hijacked by a cult of racist morons, and you will have to continue to cater to those people to have any chance of staying in power.
People who ran your party twelve years ago are all jumping ship. But sure, you guys are sailing smooth.

Would have been interesting to see what could have happened if Bernie hadn't run and his supporters had focused their efforts on a different candidate who didn't proudly brand himself a socialist. Unfortunately this is a buzzword society and branding matters.
Would have also been interesting if Uncle Tom Clyburn didn’t endorse a candidate who refers to African Americans as “colored people”
Bernie supporters were also gravitating towards Warren in the 2nd half of 2019 until she hired a bunch of ex-Clinton staffers and started playing gender iden y politics with the bull hit piece on Bernie. I’d been giving money to Warren up until that point and then I shifted back to Bernie - not because I was offended or anything but because I knew it’d be the end of her campaign.
And she had an entire campaign built on being a "progressive" before the mask finally came off.
Warren supporters are hilarious, though. True iden y politics.
I don’t think it was the mask coming off, I think she is a true progressive who got talked into the type of bull iden y politics establishment democrats use to distract from real issues. She has a much better track record getting stuff done than Bernie too (ie the CFPB) so she would have been more electable if she stuck to just being a progressive.
Shes done as a presidential candidate though imo.
Wrong: "Colored people"Would have also been interesting if Uncle Tom Clyburn didn’t endorse a candidate who refers to African Americans as “colored people”
Right: "People of Color"
Because everything is fine and Trump is doing a great job?
Go with that strawman.
Stay on that fence.
Rats starting to jump ship.
Completely agree. That ship has sailed though, at least this time around.
Well, I guess I'm speaking to a tone deaf room.
All I get back, in essence is "Yeah, but what can we do. We have to vote for Joe"
And this election is an absolute slam dunk for anyone, only way it could be easier if it weren't 2016
Ever heard of the NAACP?
I personally can’t wait to see the world’s most famous “bunker inspector” defend himself on his Central Park 5 Stance during the debate.
If Bernie would have stopped using the Socialist moniker so much he would've had a much better chance...older and middle aged Americans are still scared to death by that word...
So are somewhat progressive young people that simply don’t want to lose the next election.
Feet washer
Sure I wash my feet. You don't? Gross.
Look, I'm being realistic here. I also think it was a great opportunity, and probably Bernie's last, but we're here now. There's so much lamenting you can do until you figure you gotta move on.
Obviously, that doesn't mean you should vote Biden or anything else, it means that no matter what you do, this particular opportunity was lost. c'est la vie.
Seriously what is IronMexican’s deal. He hates Biden (understandably) the establishment dems, but also dislikes Bernie for accepting the loss and trying to help defeat Trump, as anyone else not for Trump should be doing anyways.
Is Bernie supposed to run as a third party candidate?
I don't think there's any 'deal'... he's just disillusioned with progressives having to eat the sandwich every time. He's got a point.
It's probably gonna get worse if Biden picks Elena...
He is supporting a dude who at the very least, attempted to sexually assault Tara Reade.
Strategically speaking, if he doesn't choose a black VP right now he probably deserves to lose.
