2. I'm gonna miss him in bangor.. :(

[Bucky]

3. Every speech he makes is a banger

I disagree with him much of the time. But it's always a disagreement on tactics, not principles or goals.

Bernie can lift Thor's hammer. I'm glad he's in for another term

[GPV]

4. Yeah. He's helped with a lot of great things.

5. That won't be enough for some.

But I hope it finally ends all the whining.

7. While I mostly agree...

saving his endorsement for his rally was a bit misguided. It's her moment, not his, though ultimately, the timing doesn't matter.

I've been suggesting that people be patient, because Bernie gonna Bernie. He's always been deliberate and ensured that his points are made, regardless of the circumstances.

9. It's not an endorsement. He never said Harris wasn't going to win. He never said he wouldnt

support her. He is not formally endorsing her because he wants to influence policy like he did with Biden when he supported him and got Biden’s 100 first day plan if re-elected. Its strategy. Anyone who thinks Sanders wasn’t in Harris’ court is way off base. But he will formally endorse her when he feels the time is right.

10. I have never been a Bernie fan, but I thank him for standing up for his country here. n/t.

[TBF]

12. Bernie did the same w/Joe - did not formally announce until he got what he wanted

on the platform. He is always trying to get more for the working class. He will definitely do what he can to get her elected!

""I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that - Donald Trump - the most dangerous president in American history - is not elected," Sanders said in a one-on-one interview with WMUR. "I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that Kamala Harris is elected. But in my view, it's gonna be a tough race...

... During a town hall stop in Manchester, Sanders stressed that while he is confident that Harris' team will run a successful campaign, he feels strongly that the best way for Democrats to win in November, will be by ensuring that the issues facing working-class Americans are at the forefront of this election.

"I'm not a prophet, and the Harris people know very well about running the campaign. I happen to believe that the best way forward is to talk about the needs of the working class in our country," Sanders said. "To the degree that we do entrust those issues. I think we win and maybe win big."

... "I think if you talk to the legitimate needs of young people, they will respond accordingly," Sanders said. "We all know that Trump does not believe in democracy. But to rally with people. We also have to have a message that says we hear your pain. 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Many elderly people, kids really having a hard time getting by. We've got to point those issues."
