Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: 53% of Bernie supporters will vote for nominee. My son says Biden is just like a Republican. [View all]AverageJoe
(2,292 posts)The thing thats being missed here is that Sanderss supporters transcend the Democratic Party. I can guarantee you the VAST majority of registered Democrats who support Sanders in the primaries will support the eventual nominee, no matter who that may be. I certainly will, just as I did in 2016.
The nominee, if it isnt Sanders, may well have to earn the votes of non-Democrats who support him. That might be a daunting task, as so many of these people are disaffected by the rightward lurch of the party under the influence of the Third Way movement which has been so strong in Democratic politics since the days of Bill Clinton.
Sanders reflects my values and my hopes for this country, but Im a Vote Blue No Matter Who guy and always have been.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
