3. Bernie Sanders Would Do No Better

in another debate with Biden than he did last time. In that one, he kept reverting to his stump speech, which didn't work well at all in that venue. I doubt he has another way to approach a debate with Biden.

So, it would be a waste of time for him, I believe.

4. Wait, the Bern army will rise up THIS time!!!

PROMISE!!! THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT!

[wyldwolf]

5. Bernie Bros: 'Biden is ducking Bernie! He FEARS BERNIE!'

[Orrex]

8. Lol. Exactly.

All through 2016 we heard "Hillary's afraid of Bernie!" "The media is afraid of Bernie!" "Republicans are afraid of Bernie!" "The DNC is afraid of Bernie!"

Some are still chanting those same slogans even now.

17. Please explain

Are you really undecided? Please explain.

[Orrex]

24. Well, I haven't decided if I'm going to mail in my vote for Biden or go to the polls.

Depends on how much worse Herr Trump helps the pandemic to become in the meantime.

[Sloumeau]

10. ROFL

I could totally see that.

[Turin_C3PO]

6. No more debates.

We’ve had more than enough already.

[justhanginon]

7. Haven't all scheduled debates been held?

No more!

9. Bernie's surrogates have started going hard negative again

[George II]

11. He basically did this Hillary Clinton impersonation:

18. Hillary's classic, not so subtle, subtlety. A thing of beauty.

[msongs]

12. why listen to the same old talking points again. it is well known where these guys stand nt

[NurseJackie]

13. "I think we've had enough debates. I think we should get on with this."

I think we’ve had enough debates. I think we should get on with this.

Hey Bernie... he's over you. Move on.

[onetexan]

14. translation: "See ya! Wouldn't wana be ya!"

Joe's wayyyy over you Bernie

[George II]

23. From my era:

[NCProgressive]

15. "Don't call us, we'll call you if needed but doesn't look likely."

[NurseJackie]

16. Joe Biden doesn't need to "elevate" Bernie at all...

... the voters have decided. The primary may not be "over-over" but the outcome has been clearly decided. Joe is the winner. Bernie is the loser.

[mcar]

19. Good!

No more debates!

[The Magistrate]

20. Good For Mr. Biden, Ma'am

Strength inspires.





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

21. Good. We don't need another debate. We all know Sanders's one-size-fits-all solution

to every problem in the US because he's been repeating it for 40 years. Enough already!

[Lonestarblue]

22. I like some of Bernie's ideas.

And I appreciate that he has helped move us toward a more progressive agenda. But a lot of voters have spoken already, and their choice is Biden. The likelihood is that any future primaries will also see Biden’s delegate lead increase. I’m sure Bernie supporters are disappointed, as anyone would be when their candidate is not the one chosen to go forward. Just as we were all horribly disappointed and dismayed when Hillary did not become president.

But it’s time to mend rifts and get behind our candidate. Bernie lingering on the sidelines just creates division in the party that we do not need. Bernie supporters can rest assured that they will get far more of their policy goals addressed with Biden as president than they ever would in a second Trump term. Their ideas are welcome, and I hope they’ll be part of the DNC convention (assuming there is one!). But it’s now time to unite, not divide. Defeating Trump has to be our number one priority. So Bernie supporters, are you on board, or do you plan to fight to the bitter end?
