Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Joe's Call for Unity and Positivity [View all]Gore1FL
(21,804 posts)53. I am more concerned about what Biden has to say.
We need Sanders supporters to win in November. Biden realizes that as evidenced by the quotes presented in the linked article.
I am glad it's him running this and not you. He realizes that you need votes to win, and you don't get them through antagonization. You are literally coming up with reasons to not be unified in November; behaving just as badly is apt.
I don't care what Sanders or his staff are saying. He's not going to win. I am much more concerned with helping the candidate that will get the nomination to win in the fall.
Again, it is clear that Biden is much better at this than you. I am going to follow his lead.
If I were to vote in a presidential

Posting nonsense like "what happens if Biden dies?" is not promoting unity.

Any time you want to post something unconvincing, I am all ears. Because I read responses usually.

Sanders needs to implore his supporters not to pull a 2016, and give us trump for 4 more years.
