The Democratic Party enjoyed (or was cursed with) a very deep bench this cycle. I plan to be pleasantly surprised, once again, on Sunday.

I won't watch either. He'll use it as a platform to smear the Democratic party. It needs to end. NOW! This serves no good purpose. It's just giving false hope to his most die-hard fans... and it will make their transition and acceptance of reality unnecessarily difficult.

The Democratic party will be his main target. It's the high-level staff members who attack Biden with RW talking points and other smears that originate in Russia to the likes of Cenk Uygur, Michael Moore, Cornell West, David Sirota, Brianna Gray, Nina Turner, Matt Orfalea, Phillip Agnew... and then act all "shocked" that they're "going rogue" without his approval.

As Biden and his campaign and all other stalwart Democrats strive to show how the Democrats are BETTER than the GOP... Bernie is busy telling everyone that there's "no difference between Democrats and the GOP" and "both parties are the same". And that the Democrats "are the party of the one-percent" and that we're "corrupt".

I keep waiting for some Bernie fan somewhere to please explain to me how these LIES do anything other than create resentment and suspicion? How does it encourage voters to support Democrats? It's nothing but negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

My granddaughter will be voting for the first time this year. She has watched all the debates so that she could make an informed choice. I'm very proud of her, but sad that her first choice, Mayor Pete, is out. I suppose there will be many others who watch to learn something more about our candidates, but I will not be among them.

and it's all "what are you going to do about XXX Joe?"

Like Joe owes an answer to some very untractable problems.

I hope Joe says "well, what will you do about that and how will you pay for it?"

“That’s a good question Bernie and an issue worthy of consideration, I’ll work within the framework of making as much progress as possible. But you know what I won’t do?” And then talk about how horrible Тяцмр is on that particular issue.
