Related: About this forumAs a Biden supporter I'm not at all despondent on the rise of Bernie
Why?
Because I still feel Bernie will destroy Trump due to the sheer brute force of his supporters and that is our #1 priority.
I'm getting older now (late 40's) and I feel day to day how I've lost the energy, excitement and ability to drive something hard. The sense I get from Biden is the same, it feels like his time is up. Sure we got Klobuchar and Warren and for sure if Biden drops out after NV I will go with them. But eventually if it comes to it, Bernie's support is strong enough anyway so its a win-win.
The spiciness of youth is what the Bernie bro's have a lot of even if they don't have wisdom just yet (e.g. AOC). Sure, once Bernie is in power then all chaos might get unleashed and what we might see could well be a left wing reflection of the Trump admin. But still, even with that worse-case-scenario chaos:
1. Trump is out.
2. The chaos is from the left.
I'll take #1 and #2 over whats in the Whitehouse right now, any day.

Haha, even at late 40's I'm feeling a little old.
My chosen candidate aside, I don't know how Biden, Bernie or Warren do it!
I should probably eat more broccoli.

(94,561 posts)Sanders (like Biden) hasn't had a hard campaign in years. Add to which his policies are too extreme for the moderate independents in the suburbs that we need to win over (and he hasn't shown a bility to draw in the promised new voters on the left) and I worry that he thinks his policy message is enough to counter the chaos of a Trump campaign.

(4,268 posts)Not sure how a "Socialist" can win PA, OH, or FL. When those ads start hitting with Bernie in Russia in his underwear, his comments about other regimes, etc.
Spiciness of Bernie bros? Go on twitter and see how "spicy" they are. They are turning off lots pf moderates and independents with their overly aggressive behavior.
