    I don’t think it’s a “hoax”. We’re all observing Biden’s actions. It’s a difference of opinion and quite frankly I think it’s a “joke” of an opinion to assume he has it. He hasn’t shown me anything beyond general old man forgetfulness. He’s 78 and he’s not as sharp as a younger Joe. Bernie is not as sharp as he was when he was younger. I have thinner hair than when I was 18. The dementia angle is simply overplayed...it’s all they’ve got to attack him with and it’s simply not strong enough

    It did, Hillary adopted progressive policies. I will root for Biden, and all candidates to adopt progressive policies, because it's what I believe will make the country better, it's what will save lives and improve standards of living for the poor and working class.

    And now in 2020, all the candidate's policies this year took a jump to the left. Now a lot of members of congress are running without PAC money due to the movement and blueprints Bernie has set in place.

    All they've got to attack Dentures McShaky? On the contrary.
    • Dementia
    • Corruption with kids enriching themselves by selling access to Biden
    • Perversion: Sniffing/Groping children
    • 44 years in government; voted for Iraq war, opposed school buses for low income minorities, pro-Nafta, wrote the crime bill which imprisoned so many black/browns
    • Racist comments towards blacks/Indians
    • Plagiarism which ended his 1988 campaign

    This is a point that isn’t brought up enough. In 2016 Sanders didn’t just graciously admit defeat and endorse the nominee. He fought tooth and nail to get a brokered convention. Super delegates were only not fair when he couldn’t persuade them to support him. I see no reason to believe he will be any different in 2020.... Sanders has proven to be nothing if not predictable.

    So are you still an anti-vaxer with everything going on?

    He is running against Donald Trump. For every bullet point you list, the case against Trump on that same issue is worse....

    I will give you an example.... “Biden is creepy with women and children.”.... retort: “Donald Trump ***** his own daughter.”

    You lose... figure out an angle that doesn’t on point out how bad Trump is by comparison. There has to be something... keep looking.

    General old man forgetfulness? Really? You think the best this country has to offer is general old man forgetfulness? Not as sharp? Sure, lets go into battle with dull weapons.

    Trump is full of weaknesses. Some worse than others. But to apologize and accept them is what we call "Trumpers". And the only thing worse than a Trumper is a Never Trumper. That simply implies you're willing to accept someone worse than Trump. And yes, sadly, I would accept Trump over someones who mental capacity has expired. I am not stating Biden has dementia, but to imply someone with dementia is better than having Trump is extremely short sighted.

    I quoted the wrong thread and it wasn’t really an insult.

    I know you are a Bernie Bro and will find any excuse to not vote for the candidate that beat Sanders. It is what it is.

    Again, more lies. Saying i will find "any excuse not to vote for the candidate that beat Sanders" is a blatant lie. I would have voted for Amy, Warren, and maybe even Pete. I dont know where you come up with this crap. Biden is garbage, period.

    Of course you believe Biden is garbage... and anyone else other than Sanders that won the nomination would have had to deal with the same crap from die hard Sanders supporters.

    Again, a lot of dumb assumptions. Why do you keep spreading these dumb lies?

    Trump is 74, Biden is 77, Bernie is 78. What’s the alternative? They all have poorer memory than the rest of us. Who cares?

    Nonsense, from both of you. The cup of disappointment has a bitter taste, doesn’t it.

    Sander supporters are really starting to get under my skin. You can oppose Biden and even not vote for him in the general but to say that Biden and Trump are the same is infuriating beyond belief.

    I guess I was wrong in my prediction that he drops out today, but I am curious about his strategy.

    Is the Sanders team just praying the virus suppresses turnout and skews the results? That maybe, by virtue of dumb luck, he can pull off an upset in one of the key states tomorrow?

    I mean all of this respectfully, I just don’t understand the strategy.

    Frankly, the better question is why the primaries tomorrow are even happening. A delay would seem appropriate given what the experts have been recommending about public spaces and distancing yourself from others.

    I've said I would vote for a toaster versus Trump and I stand by it. In a crisis like this at the minimum the toaster is not going to say and tweet something that contradicts the experts and freak out the market.

    And plus toast. mmmm warm buttery toast..
