Bernie Sanders endorses Biden




NEWS: Bernie Sanders tells me he will forgo another presidential bid of his own and instead endorse President Joe Biden's reelection.
...
The decision also signals that, at 81 years old, the progressive leader will never again seek the presidency.

Considered.

I'm guessing this doesn't make some very happy.

Joe Biden is our incumbent Democratic President with a Successful Record... We don't need no stinking debates on that.

He's busy Fighting on the Front Lines to Save our Democracy.. no time for anti-vaxers.

Voters are entitled to hear different opinions & policy ideas. They have a right to make an educated decision.on who best represents them.
Not having debates is incredibly anti-democratic.

Let Biden smoke the competition like a Saturday night at a reggae concert.

IF Biden had decided to not run, then I am sure some (I do not claim to know the amount) thought would have given to Sanders perhaps taking one last bite at the apple.

Thankfully, for the nation and the planet (as Biden is by far the best option we have to stop Trump,or DeSantis, or any other Rethug with the faintest of hopes of winning the Rethug MAGAt-invested primaries), Biden has decided to put all uncertainty to bed (as much as he can).

Unlike what many Establishment types stated, and/or suggested, he's a team player.

God bless him.

Anyone who's ever wondered WHAT a liberal Democrat is, or listened to lies about it, can just take a look at President Biden for a typical example of what that means.

Defined principles and ideology of liberalism began with the Enlightenment/Age of Reason. In the Democratic Party they've remained very stable over the past century of great changes -- the APPLICATION of our liberal principles both creating and following, helping define, humanity's advancing arc of moral justice.

There's more than a little bit of anti-Bernie sentiment on this side of the political spectrum.
