I believe Joe Biden is bending over backwards to unify our party

I believe Bernie Sanders is trying to break Biden's back.

Less than two hours before the debate and I am still seeing Sanders ads (Florida) about Biden & Social Security.

Has Bernie become a PUMA?

Voters are not stupid and they can see what Bernie is doing. He will get an even bigger shellacking with these deceptive ads.

I don't know how badly Sanders want to be beaten and face the loss week after week but that is what he is looking forward to.

Opening 5 offices in Pennsylvania won't work either. Biden is from Pennsylvania and they won't let him down.

His supporters are clogging the beaches in Ft. Lauderdale during a pandemic (but they don't bother voting), Bernie is complaining that not being able to hold rallies is hurting his campaign (??), and he's trashing Biden.

So much for the unity pledge.

That is in large part why I am backing Joe Biden. I also back him because I think he has the best chance of beating the incumbent in the general election. I am fairly certain that Democrats do not want another four years of this incumbent. I sincerely hope that I am not wrong on this latter point.
