After the last 3 and a half years, any self-identified progressive who says that Biden

[still_one]

has to "earn" our vote, is no "F**KING PROGRESSIVE"

Perhaps they should listen to Noam Chomsky

1. Amen

And may I add, "there's no difference between the two parties."

[dalton99a]

2. Anyone who wants to give Trump another four years is just as evil as Trump.

Yes, it is that simple

[Aristus]

20. And more full of shit than a septic tank.

Anyone still trying to convince us that Trump and Biden are the same (just as they did so successfully with Hillary Clinton) could give this guy a run for his money:

[stpetegreg]

27. Thanks for posting...

that picture. I've been missing my home town/state lately and it made me take a deep breath and smile.

[Aristus]

28. Welcome to DU.

We'll try to keep the PNW green (and Blue) until you get back...

[StarfishSaver]

3. Hear Hear!

[HotTeaBag]

4. Thanks for re-redefining me I really appreciate it.

Biden doesn't have to 'earn' my vote - he's got it - but I would have preferred Warren.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. That's why there are primaries. Many people preferred other candidates

but most primary voters preferred Biden. So that's where we are. Warren might be offered a position in Biden's administration or she might stay in the Senate; either way she will be an enormously valuable asset. She's not "gone," she'll just be working in some other very important capacity.

[HotTeaBag]

9. Yeah, I know.

Our amazingly diverse field of original candidates from which to choose became no choice at all long before I could register my vote here in New Jersey for who 'I' preferred.

Again, I'll vote for him because I don't get caught up in purity testing and I know Elizabeth isn't 'gone'.

24. Try living in California. Huge diverse population, but for most of my life the primary choices...

...were all winnowed out before we got to vote for them. I looked at candidates having chats in the living rooms of New Hampshire and thought, well that's adorable -- NH is tiny, white, and easy to get around in. California finally moved its primary election to earlier in the year, but geographically we will never be quick and easy to get around in, and chances of my shaking anyone's hand are very slim indeed. It is what it is.

[BlueMTexpat]

23. I'm with you.

Biden has MY vote in 2020!

Hillary had it in 2016!

[DanieRains]

5. This Extreme Left Progressive Would Walk Through 100 Miles Of Burning Forest Fires To Vote For Biden

If I had to.

Just sayyin....

Anyone who won't vote for Biden has a broken brain.

[still_one]

10. I believe most will, but there will be the few that will try to interject that into the conversation

Bernie Sanders recognized this danger, which is why he endorsed Biden early, not only to try and influence the party with issues he considers paramount, but more importantly to build unity among all of us, because we need that unity in November

[sunonmars]

6. You really need to see the responses on his twitter, they have not learned. Despicable.

[still_one]

8. I don't know who they are, but when we have a president say "it's a great day for George Floyd"

and they do not comprehend the danger of having another four year of trump, they are living in an alternate universe

[orwell]

13. There are a lot of automated bots on Twitter...

...Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are used to shape public opinion through sophisticated AI programming by Robert Mercer and his band of RW propagandists. The same Robert Mercer who installed Trump as president.

A lot of these posts are put there by computer programs not real people.

The Russians have used this technique for psy-ops. It was very effective in the last election. Unless people understand that they are being heavily manipulated they will not see these social media platforms for what they are - herd management.

[NonPC]

16. And Zuckerburg is Too Stupid to Fix It

He's so busy cashing checks from Advertisers, that he'll let anything happen.

[orwell]

29. Not stupid...

...complicit.

He has hitched his wagon to Trump. That much seems clear. He is betting a Trump victory will forestall efforts to reign in Facebook by congress.

[ancianita]

22. Exactly. Progressive doubt machine messaging is their strategy this year. Don't believe the hype.

[zak247]

11. Noam Chomsky has always had logical sense

Unlike so-called " progressives" who didn't vote for Hillary.

Even in 2016, Noam said vote for Hillary in light of a foul imp-like Trump.

Why...simply because he is a true humanitarian with compassion for human beings, unlike the ideologue progressives who I call the Taliban of American politics.

[still_one]

12. He has seen a lot

[UTUSN]

14. K&R

[TNNurse]

15. To me it is simple, there are two choices now.

Either you support Biden or you support Trump, there is nothing else.

[plimsoll]

17. Earning their vote is an interesting comment.

If I were to think about it, it seems Biden has to earn their vote, but Trump can inherit his position?

[Historic NY]

19. They earned exactly what they got with Trump and they will again, hell

they just as bad as toddler Donald.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

21. KR NT

[Joinfortmill]

25. I love Joe

If he was good enough for President Obama, he's damn good enough for me.

[jorgevlorgan]

26. some leftists will prefer an extremist psychopath like trump over a kind moderate like Biden.

We cant help them.

[Cha]

30. Yeah.. some think it's all about

them.
