Mar 2020

There is a true and loyal Democrat, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. On the ballot and Maybe (Maybe he's out, Maybe not) an Independent Senator from Vermont. So please vote. The choice is clear.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Passing this along. Posted on FB by one of my Democratic millennial black friends in Illinois. [View all] ancianita Mar 2020 OP

Sorry, but that's nonsense. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #1

"That's nonsense" for all those states to not get a ballot choice. Hear how that sounds? ancianita Mar 2020 #2

Irrelevant. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #5

Wrong. It's relevant that all the other candidates are out, and Bernie is still in. ancianita Mar 2020 #10

Nope, still irrelevant. He should have dropped out by now. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #13

Not. Your. Call. ancianita Mar 2020 #22

Name-calling? TwilightZone Mar 2020 #39

Thanks for the setup. ancianita Mar 2020 #61

But Of Course, Sir, Sanders Is Not a Democrat The Magistrate Mar 2020 #57

Presume to tell that to party leadership. Or. Imagine away about what Bernie imagines. ancianita Mar 2020 #59

They Are As Aware Of It As I Am, Sir The Magistrate Mar 2020 #63

This is a party nominating process, not an election. Walleye Mar 2020 #27

Those states don't have enough votes treestar Mar 2020 #35

It happens in every primary...Sanders lost and to have primaries is dangerous...time for Sanders to Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #42

We, here in NM, still rusty fender Mar 2020 #100

That happens every election year. dawg day Mar 2020 #76

If it was reversed . . . . Iliyah Mar 2020 #3

Woulda shoulda coulda speculation. We don't really know that. ancianita Mar 2020 #12

Sanders supporters were pushing Warren hard to withdraw and back him. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #17

Impugning supporters shouldn't equate in your mind with impugning the candidate. ancianita Mar 2020 #24

"Take that up with Tom Perez." TwilightZone Mar 2020 #37

Did you have a problem with Sanders supporters pushing mcar Mar 2020 #40

Nope. They did what they did. Yes, it was OK. Fact is, they didn't affect her decision at all. ancianita Mar 2020 #58

Got it. OK for Sanders people to say candidates should drop out mcar Mar 2020 #64

Bernie needs go now...Biden is being diplomatic as he should. There is no reason to waste one more Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #44

Actually, we do. kcr Mar 2020 #98

A big who cares...either get on board or get out of the way...the primary is over. Now it is time Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #4

He's back in the Senate as you speak. ancianita Mar 2020 #14

He has to get out for party unity...the primary is over. For once, he should do the right thing for Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #47

His being in the Senate right now shows that unity. As for it all being "over," he's probably gettin ancianita Mar 2020 #52

He needs to concede and endorse...nothing short of that is acceptable...and I say he should face Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #65

He'll probably agree with you on Trump. He'll concede. Just not when and how you want. ancianita Mar 2020 #67

People can still vote for Bernie dansolo Mar 2020 #6

Historic pandemic changes everything. *THIS TIME*. oasis Mar 2020 #7

Fair point. ancianita Mar 2020 #16

Indeed, Sir, It Is Nonesense The Magistrate Mar 2020 #8

"Must do harm"? Then you're afraid that this party can't hold together. That's proven nonsene, sir. ancianita Mar 2020 #18

My Outlook Is Indeed Dark, Sir: This World Is A Dark Place The Magistrate Mar 2020 #25

I suggest you pivot away from darkside speculation, sir, & go w/ the leadership response to Bernie. ancianita Mar 2020 #31

Again, Sir, Feigning Ignorance Is Not A Good Tactic The Magistrate Mar 2020 #33

You yourself presume to know another better than they know themselves. Carry on. ancianita Mar 2020 #38

Yes, the party won't unify until Sander is gone...it will be an uphill battle and we can't have our Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #49

+ 1 Raastan Mar 2020 #28

If we "shouldn't pressure Bernie to get out of the race..." LanternWaste Mar 2020 #9

Fair points. A balanced outlook on this is more helpful. Needing comfort on this issue isn't helpful ancianita Mar 2020 #20

In that case Sunsky Mar 2020 #11

What is to be proven? Nothing. There have been 30 votes so far, Sanders has won only 7-1/2... George II Mar 2020 #15

He's a developer at a Chicago IT software firm. Probably using that lingo, I guess. ancianita Mar 2020 #66

About what process?? Docreed2003 Mar 2020 #68

However, that should not preclude what Bernie thinks peacebuzzard Mar 2020 #19

Take it up with governors who've changed their primary dates. If Perez says we're in emergency ancianita Mar 2020 #21

It is clear to me that you think Sanders should stay in...there is no reason for this...none and it Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #51

No. I just don't think he should be vilified for not dropping out. Trump has beaten himself. ancianita Mar 2020 #55

Let me just say shoulda, woulda, coulda...he will be vilified...it has already begun. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #62

Who is assuming responsibility. peacebuzzard Mar 2020 #73

I really hate the "Undecided" option LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #23

If you're referring to me, say it. Fact is, I've committed to 2 of the best candidates in this part ancianita Mar 2020 #26

I believe you LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #36

I don't NCProgressive Mar 2020 #60

No reason to. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #43

I'm with you on that LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #50

This is not the General Election. This is a Party Primary, where we choose our best nominee. PubliusEnigma Mar 2020 #29

My argument is with those who demand Bernie drop out. They can if they want. But it's HIS call. ancianita Mar 2020 #45

It is his call and I guess soon we will learn about his character or lack there of...will he do the Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #53

Leaving one of the obvious reasons aside, the danger of a severe pandemic, Hav Mar 2020 #30

He's probably assessing that factor right now. His people have said he is, anyway. ancianita Mar 2020 #46

I understand the sentiment of every voice being heard, Music Man Mar 2020 #32

Thanks for your post. But "unfair" money and time is really up to the donators, as we know. ancianita Mar 2020 #34

Yes, Bernie's proposals need a Congress that would pass them treestar Mar 2020 #41

Good one. ancianita Mar 2020 #48

Yes, one of my all-time favorite stories and perspectives on this. Music Man Mar 2020 #71

I strongly disagree...2016 clearly shows this. Sanders must go...and if he doesn't should face Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #54

I agree Sanders needs to drop out. Music Man Mar 2020 #75

We are electing a President of the United States. NCProgressive Mar 2020 #56

Your friend does not understand the definition of a primary versus Politicub Mar 2020 #69

Then work to change the primary system. Happy Hoosier Mar 2020 #70

I live in one if those states, dawg day Mar 2020 #72

Did she vote yesterday? ucrdem Mar 2020 #74

Apparently they don't know what the primary process is. Historic NY Mar 2020 #77

I'll relay that point to him, see what he says, if anything. ancianita Mar 2020 #78

My black friend Dream Girl Mar 2020 #79

Sorry, it's just not healthy to humor delusional thinking. Sanders is done, you have deal with it. tritsofme Mar 2020 #80

Know what's just not healthy? To disrespect a Democratic candidate by keeping up conflict-driven ancianita Mar 2020 #82

Bernie's continued quixotic campaign against the presumptive nominee is disrespectful. tritsofme Mar 2020 #86

At this moment in time LakeArenal Mar 2020 #81

I hear you. Now tell it to party leadership. ancianita Mar 2020 #83

???? That has nothing to do with me. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #85

Fine. We'll keep the idea to ourselves. ancianita Mar 2020 #87

Sadly your opinion here appears to be a one off LakeArenal Mar 2020 #89

Sadly? Okay, be sad. Perez just suggested mail-in voting. Okay with that? ancianita Mar 2020 #90

You are contentious. I'm not into arguing for the sake of argument LakeArenal Mar 2020 #91

Me, neither. So what do you say about Perez's wanting remaining primaries to be mail-in. ancianita Mar 2020 #92

Yawn. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #93

Thought so. ancianita Mar 2020 #99

Vote to your hearts content MyNameGoesHere Mar 2020 #84

Yes. ancianita Mar 2020 #88

Meanwhile our unindicted Co-conspirator Tweedy Mar 2020 #94

I don't agree with your friend. nt ecstatic Mar 2020 #95

Well, I've updated him with the Tom Perez directive to use mail-in voting in remaining primaries. ancianita Mar 2020 #96

wow! Ok, I'm behind in the news! nt ecstatic Mar 2020 #97

Cool story, bro. Squinch Mar 2020 #101
