The first is against Trump and the GOP. We all know that.
But the second is those on the far left who can't accept that Sen. Sanders didn't win. By no fault of Sen. Sanders, they are pushing the Tara Reade hoax as well as the Obamagate one as a way to smear Biden. Plus they are already declaring that they won't vote for Biden in November but will stay home or vote green.
They don't realize is that if Biden wins, they will have completely marginalized themselves.
Part of living in a democracy is learning that sometimes you don't get your way and have to compromise as well as accept the results of elections and not act like a spoiled child about it.
But the do have something in common with Trump supporters, the are mostly white.

(3,974 posts)They hate Democrats more than Republicans.
If they really cared about issue, they would never want Trump or any republican get elected. It is more about their chosen team winning than issues because they think it makes them look cool and can feel superior to everyone else.

(4,465 posts)I resent being smeared with this accusation. I may not love Biden or his policies, but there is ZERO question that he is more qualified than Trump. Anyone who is refusing to vote, or voting for someone else, is a nihilist, a crypto-fascist, or on the Russian payroll.
I will be voting for Biden.

(3,974 posts)I never said everyone on the far left. But there are many that are refusing to vote for Biden. Go to twitter and search #NeverBiden. In one post I saw they are trying to organize a march on Democratic party HQs in every state to demand that Biden be thrown off the ticket.

(17,086 posts)You did not disappoint. While you are correct that Joe will take flack from the far left, the fact is that pretty much every other candidate's supporters were to the left of Joe in the primary, so there is no need to single out Bernie's. No candidate has ever gained 100% support from their own side. Work on the middle - it's more productive.

(34,136 posts)Are GOP and/or Russian operatives. Most stir their shit on the internet and could be working from anywhere in the world. I seldom see people supporting Bernie on TV and advocating against VP Biden. Yes, they are a few, but I suspect, especially at this point, there are very many.
Anyone with any sense should by now understand that in 2016 this attitude gave us Trump. The only people who benefited from it are Trump supporters and Putin.
I would not broad brush all "far left" with claims that they won't vote for Biden in November but will stay home or vote green. I believe the vast majority will support the candidate most likely to rid the country of the orange plague.
