In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders just endorsed Biden [View all]The Magistrate
(95,247 posts)Has legitimately all the influence he is owed when a vote goes against him by a three to two margin. That is Sanders position. His earlier claims he would have 'leverage' at the convention were nothing but a threat to repeat the performance of his delegates at the 2016 convention. For that is certainly something Mr. Biden, and all Democrats, wish to avoid, as it would only benefit the cheap thug we must evict from office.
If there is to actually be unity, and a joint effort, he must stand down from these threats, and accept he is not in charge, and will get only what the majority is inclined to give him. the better he behaves, the more he may get. Threats will get him nothing but named in history as the man who did more than any other to put Trump in office, and maintain Trump in office when the last chips were down.
