1. Go away

Seriously. Just go away. And take Michael Moore with you.

[OnDoutside]

2. Great post.

[jrthin]

19. This! nt

[Rebl2]

30. Yes to that!

[Generic Brad]

3. If that is the winning message, why did Bernie lose the nomination to Joe?

It seems to me that, while Bernie's ideas are good, Joe clearly has his fingers more on the pulse of the country.

[happybird]

28. Bingo

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Correct you are

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. And it begins.

I wanna talk to anyone who is saying Joe is not progressive enough so I will not vote...anybody here?

this is not a gotcha, to report you for not supporting dems, I just want to know the reason you would send us to our deaths?

[NurseJackie]

5. The campaign is over. Our party has chosen our nominee.

Biden's campaign and the party gave the Sanders campaign every reasonable consideration and accommodation. Negotiations and compromises were made in good faith. That part is OVER now. Biden doesn't need any former rivals "advising" him how to run his campaign.

This type of backhanded and back-channel "leaked" critique serves no good purpose. It's just something that creates resentment and distrust. It's pulling scabs off of old wounds and pouring salt in. It's a source of negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

Surely people have better and more productive things to do with his time than to take cheap shots at Biden from the sidelines. The GOP is already doing enough of that. Why add to it?

[LisaM]

17. It's never over with that guy.

Why doesn't he go be a thorn in the Republicans' side? We almost all want the same things Bernie wants, but if he can't see that we are grappling with more immediate issues at the moment, he needs to take a hike.

I am looking out the window at a sepia overhang of smoky air. I can't go outside. I am panicked about my young niece and nephew in North Dakota being forced to go to school in person. I haven't seen my family since December. I don't need Bernie effing Sanders to decide now is the time to sow seeds of dissention in the ranks. And with all that, I am better off than a lot of other Americans.

[mcar]

25. Seems like some haven't figure out that Republicans are the enemy

[cwydro]

29. +1

[Yonnie3]

6. Yonnie3 is expressing concerns that Bernie Saunders' campaign was too Progressive to win

sorry I'm a bit late expressing this concern.

[frazzled]

7. "Stronger outreach to young people"? The kids are OK

Biden has cemented his lead on the backs of traditional Democratic-leaning constituencies, holding a 54-38 edge among women, a 65-23 advantage among voters under 30 and a 59-27 lead among nonwhite voters. But the former vice president is also either narrowing the margin or even leading among demographics that historically favor the GOP, notably trailing by just 5 points among men and leading by 3 points with white voters and by a whopping 12 points among seniors.

[JI7]

33. Seniors numbers are imporant becsuse they turn out for sure

[Mariana]

34. Yes, and in 2016 the majority of them voted for Trump. nt.

[George II]

37. If they didn't turn out to vote for Sanders, why would they turn out to vote for Biden with....

....Sanders' policies?

Boggles my mind that the guy who got less than 1/3 of the popular vote and less than 1/3 of the delegates is telling the winner how to run his campaign.

[agingdem]

8. Seriously???

Hey Bernie we're in the middle of a pandemic.. 194,000 dead...the economy is on life support..35 million people have lost their jobs...food banks are empty and Hitler-lite is in the White House...and Joe isn't progressive enough???...just go away...

[mvd]

9. While I agree with the premise of trying to get him more..

progressive, I thought Biden’s acceptance speech was great and am not worried yet. Also, The Sun sensationalizes a lot. Overall Bernie has been a great Biden supporter and I believe he would make suggestions because he cares.

[left-of-center2012]

13. "The Sun sensationalizes a lot"

While this is linked to the article printed in the post,
it is a Washington Post story.

"SENATOR Bernie Sanders' has been expressing concerns over Joe Biden's presidential campaign,
the Washington Post has reported,
and is urging Biden's team to appeal to liberal voters."

[Demsrule86]

20. Um just say no Joe...I don't supposed you noticed that we need to win moderate states.

[mvd]

32. Thanks, but the story is behind a paywall

The title used by the WP is definitely less sensational, though.

[Roland99]

10. How many threads are we gonna have on this?

[left-of-center2012]

14. Hide it?

Sweep it under the rug?

Shh ?

[Demsrule86]

18. Isn't it interesting that this hits during the Woodward book...

[left-of-center2012]

23. I see no connection n/t

[Sewa]

15. Three a day until everyone forgets about the Woodward book

Would be my guess.

[lpbk2713]

11. So fucking what?

..

[JI7]

12. Anyone who isn't supporting Biden right now is NOT a progressive

no matter how much they claim to be. Trump claims to be many things also and that alone doesn't make it true.

[Demsrule86]

16. Am going to make sure I see no more post with Sander's name in them....

Will trash the name...he should just stop. He lost and Biden won. Sanders should go home if he can't be helpful and sit on the front porch of his lovely lake home.

[LizBeth]

21. Third time we have been told about Sanders concern. As far as I have seen. Biden has got this.

[betsuni]

22. What is "the progressive movement"?

[mcar]

24. What a pile of shite

[empedocles]

26. Still more BS

[DinahMoeHum]

27. The Sun is a POS rag, just like the one in the UK. . .

. . .both owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Just sayin'

[trueblue2007]

35. shut the hell up Bernie. Go away. OUR JOE IS PLENTY PROGRESSIVE. I call out this thread.

as being kinda ANTI-BIDEN.

[WA-03 Democrat]

38. Seems this topic just seems gets reposted a lot!

“The easiest way to defeat the United States is by Dividing it.”

Every dead and alive Soviet leader from 1918 to 2020

Bernie is an independent. I like some of his ideas but his Nina Turner and David Sorata squad just want to see us go up in flames. Bernie hired them for a reason. He lost twice and will never win. Destress for Pete’s sake Bernie. Your coming up on your heart-attack anniversary.

Joe and Kamala are going to win.
Their coattails will bring us the House and the Senate.
