My Primary Pledge for the Duration.


After tonight I'm convinced that Biden will be our nominee. He's earned it.

I pledge I will no longer attack Biden on the issues or otherwise. As a candidate, he's earned my respect to do that.

I was on the fence for a long time between Warren and Sanders and finally got off that fence after Warren's brilliant Bloomberg takedown at the NV debate. But then she suspended her campaign soon thereafter.

I'm left with Bernie and I will happily vote for him in the GA Primary. My current choices are Biden, Gabbard, and Sanders. I wish I could still vote for Warren.

I understand that the Bernie bashing will continue as long as he is a candidate, and probably longer. Nevertheless, I'll stand down.

I hope this primary comes to a peaceful conclusion soon and we can focus on beating Trump.

Good night.

The sooner the primary ends, the sooner we can start to mend and put our energy and focus on defeating Trump.

I felt badly when Warren left the race, but I am hopeful that she will have a prominent role in the next administration. She was an incredible candidate.

I wish I could vote for Warren too but we're past it now. Biden has earned my respect too. He can step on day 1 and salvage what's left of our beautiful country. I look forward to Bernie and Liz supporting good liberal legislation through the Senate.

even when there is no mathematical chance that he can win?

Bernie not dropping out only helps Trump.

and I respect him and his ideals. Nevertheless, I am ready to support the nominee.

Are Biden supporters ready to stop Bernie bashing or are they unprepared for victory?
