1. This is what he wants to talk about today...really? nt

[meadowlander]

2. I think he's supporting Biden.

I.e. Biden made the tough choice to save US lives knowing he would take flack from in Military Industrial Complex and the media they own.

5. That is my read too. Slamming the greedy MIC and supporting Biden.

[Uncle Joe]

3. Why not? Do you believe we're past the crisis threatening our democracy?

What would you rather talk about?

[Cha]

4. Okay.. if he's supporting Pres Biden?

6. We don't "demand" Governments for the people...we vote for them

Does Senator Sanders have any ideas on how to vote them in in States that aren’t safe places for progressives (like.Vermont)?

[LanternWaste]

7. The one does not deny the other

I can vote. I can demand.

Simultaneously, or in sequence.

Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.

8. You can certainly "demand". I don't tend to find that it works.

[Uncle Joe]

9. Well Frederick, Bernie and I disagree

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

― Frederick Douglass
