I never said anything was stolen from Bernie. I didn't especially like Bernie in 2016 and the only thing good about him this time around was that he was a progressive. But he lost fair and square both times.
Doesn't mean I'm automatically going to vote for Biden.
But the virus and the recession have changed the dynamics of the race entirely. I don't think you're going to see many lefties missing a chance to vote against Trump.
Yall better hope so anyway. As much as you hate us you still need for us to vote for your candidate.
Biden is not "my" candidate. I didn't even vote for him in the primaries, I actually voted for Sanders. And I don't hate you, but what can I say, if you don't see how much worse Trump is than Biden, and how much a second Trump term will hurt America (including, putting to sleep all progressive dreams, which Biden won't do), and if you still don't try to stop him by voting for Biden, yes, you'll be one of the people I'll blame when all the damage is inflicted upon us all.
And sure, moderates can't win without the progressives... but something the progressives seem to fail to realize is that they are at best 33% of the Democratic Party, more like 20% or 25%, so with much better reason, they can't win without the moderates either, and the way they might be able to win would be by earning the hearts and minds of the moderates, gently showing to them for example how universal healthcare might help them and their families... not by ridiculing them, calling them names, saying that they are stupid, ignorant, and brainswashed sheep. I'm not saying that you are the one saying so... but if you say "you all" then allow me to generalize, too.
AOC said the priority shouldn't be beating Trump. Dumb woman. Yes, absolutely, the priority now should be beating Trump. We can worry about other things later. Whoever doesn't see it doesn't earn a lot of my respect.
