Great. Maybe Bernie can influence Biden a little on his policies. I'm still holding out hope that Warren is the VP.

It's always been in my heart to forgive. I welcome Bernie to the Centrist Squad.

Actually, the joint task force means the opposite of what you're saying is happening.
Listen, I don't like Biden and these rape allegations make me extremely uncomfortable. Anyone who doesn't vote for Biden because of that I totally understand.
In this case, I feel like I gotta vote for him. If allegations come to light even more, you work on him being removed afterward and let the VP take over. I don't care about Biden holding the office, I do care about all the others that come along with it.

as much as bernie's campaign was about his policies and as much as "his crowd" is more a crowd that simply wanted to vote for these policies, it's still gonna fucking suuuuuuck to see bernie throw reade under the bus like this
I appreciate your still being committed to fighting the establishment.
I mean, you can't argue that Bernie voters were too lazy to vote to beat Biden and then also argue that's the reason Biden lost.
This. I am not alone in having friends, family, and loved ones fighting for their lives against COVID right now. and Trump is doing everything he can to make it worse. My girlfriend works at a hospital that had their shipment of N95 masks taken by the feds and now she is sick at home with the virus.
FUCK TRUMP.
yep. I was a super militant die hard supporter of Bernie, but the fact that he couldn't just hold out a tad bit longer until the sexual assault story was further investigated just infuriates me. I guess people were right he doe value friendships and loyalty over everything. lmao
Well good thing he is taking what he represented and his policies and helping Biden achieve them by heading up Biden's policy task force and working closely with the Biden campaign.
One thing that Bernie could do is the expanded M4A benefits for people who DO get medicare due to age. Meaning Hearing, Dental, and eyes. Even more props if he can get those things in the public option.
And the best way to get anything near Bernie's policies now is this. He's exerting pressure and helping craft policy while ensuring one of the worst presidents in our history doesn't get a second term. He's helping make sure the Supreme Court is secured for future progressives like him. Taking your ball and going home now is the worst thing you can do if you want Sanders' policies to ever happen.

It takes a lot of privilege to say something this out of touch. It is a cult. And you are a Trump voter if you stay home. There is no other way around it.
Biden has shown a willingness to bend on policy that Hillary never did. This is probably the best thing for moving progressivism forward.
Or he values his policy goals? The stuff Bernie campaigned on? Biden is helping Bernie achieve him by bringing Bernie to work on his policy goals. Bernie cares about working to push the country to the left. Biden is giving him that opportunity.
He's already avoided her worst sin, in the eyes of the electorate, by not being a woman.
Yep. Northam has been letting the state legislature take the lead, headlined by some fairly progressive members, and they've been making great progress. You have to get the Republicans who are actively fucking things up for their benefit in the House and Senate out to have the political power in place to get things done like making voting better, removing the draconian pension pre-funding rules on the USPS that were put in place so it would fail, etc.
Yep. Nothing's stopping people from calling for impeachment once Trump is out. Hell, if GOP still control the majority of the Senate you just might get it
The Party and the voters made the calculus that they can get Biden elected without the help of the Left by courting moderate Republicans. So, it would be more useful for you to spend your time dialing and knocking doors for Joe than arguing with people on Resetera.
If someone stays at home, aren't they technically also a Biden voter by that same logic?
A chance, thought probably not a very high one. I don't think she's the right pick, anyway.
Where in the stream is the minimum wage talk, just tried to scrub through it and couldn't find it.
Honestly it's 100% Ok to say you will vote Biden and complain about it the whole time. If Bernie was the nominee that's what my centrist neoliberal self would do.
I don't think they actually want to win, but actually gloat that better things aren't possible.
so silly that you can go from "we need to vote Bernie because people are dying" to this even though Biden is objectively better for the people you pretend to care about than Trump
'Vote Blue No Matter Who' - Very free thinking and not cultish
'Idk, not sure I wanna vote for a rapist regardless tbh' - Obvious cultist
Seems legit and very much capable of winning votes
I'm sure if we go along with the DNC and corporate media this time things will turn out much differently the next time the working class assembles to try to better their conditions in this country.
Third time is the charm right?

Somewhat surprised Bernie openly endorsed Biden this early. That said, I suppose that now, moreso than in 2016, it is very much clear what another 4 years of Trump will bring. Bernie seems like he's swallowing his pride if it means even a slightly higher likelihood of Trump losing.
Near the end, the last minute or two I believe
Edit: I'm way off, sorry. I think it was the first question Bernie asked Biden though, if that helps.
