    So sad that the centrist Dems cater more to the 5% of Repubs not hanging with Trump than with AOC, the millions of Bernie voters. Unless I am wrong they are having virtually no speakers under 50. Maybe Mayor Pete? This approach did not work last time, but might work this time.

    This is last stand of the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosi, Schumer the old old school DNC corporate Dems that brought us Trump and the current state of the country.

    I sincerely hope they win and than the real "resistance" will start or they will do their typical thing by losing Congress in 2022 and than using that as an excuse for not doing much ala the frequent complaints of their maximum leader, Obama.

    What are you smoking? Biden has went slightly left since the midterms. If we can get Biden Republicans in this coalition then maybe we can actually make progressive change than getting another term of these Trump Republicans tearing everything apart. Accelerationism doesn’t work.

    Did he even say it was a Republican? It could be Jerry Nadler for all we know.

    It's a good thing for Romney that his special underwear fends off hordes of astroturfed zombies

    You are an example of the real problem, why is it us vs them?

    Why is must everything be looked with a category/

    Why must you demonize centrist Dems?

    Why are you an ageist?

    You are the reason we got Trump because you did not get your way.

    Is Bernie now to old to speak for progressives?

    No dude. Don't blame him for Trump. Blame people who voted for him. This is toxic also. Also understand that if Bernie was nominated a lot of posters including yourself would complain like Glynch is now about not getting their way. Everyone complains about not getting their way.

    I think your both right and wrong.

    Right now is not the time to be divisive, ageism is wrong. Progressives and centrist can't be enemies this election, what's left of our piss poor democracy is at risk, people's lives are on the line due to the pandemic. I support voting for Joe, I don't support Joe as a politician, but that's not here or there right now, we must all support voting for Joe.

    But then you become divisive yourself and try to blame progressives for Trump winning. That's horse ****. The statistics show Bernie supporters. voted Clinton at very normal %, more then Hillary supporters ended up voting Obama. This nonsense claim has to end.

    I can blame whoever I want and its people like him who are still labeling people and trashing everybody who is not on the team.

    He is definitely part of the reason Trump was elected.

    I have never complained about Bernie as being the candidate so miss me with that ****, I would have had no issue with Bernie being the candidate in 16 or 20 I just don't think he is the best.

    No not everyone complains about getting there way and everyone certainly does not continue to talk negatively about everyone that does not agree with them.

    Okay. You are the one claiming we need unity. I don't know what else you are doing here at this moment with these last comments besides cresting more division.

    I never blamed progressives for Trump winning so stop that foolishness, I blamed ideologues like Glynch.

    I don't blame people for not voting for Hillary or giving Trump a chance, my issue is with people like Glynch who is using this impossible purity test and continuing to label anything that he considers not progressive as a negative.

    So actually read what I wrote instead of claiming something I did not do.

    This is not about Bernie supporters or progressives I am not blaming them.

    This was specific to Glynch, I don't know why you are including any other group.

    Glynch and many other Americans have a lot of reasons to not unconditionally flag wave the DNC dude.

    I even remember him saying he's voting for Biden. Let him express his frustration at the party.

    IMO the people who voted for Trump and the people who stayed home to spite the Democrats are equally responsible these 4 years of MAGA.

    What does this have to do with anything I said?

    WTF do you have to do with this anyway?

    He can express his frustration and can also express my frustration at him continuing to paint centrist democrats as a negative.

    Ok?

    I connect Glynch with being a Bernie supporter/progressive. I don't know about this group of purity idealogues that gave Trump the win, that sounds kind of silly. What gave Trump the win is a hoard of factors, and I don't think it has much to do with people like Glynch.
