31. "Clearly the other Democrats haven't' earned that vote"

Fri Jan 24, 2020, 02:35 PM

Jan 2020

Trump is an existential threat. Whining that one's preferred candidate didn't win and then staying home is about as self-centered as it gets and is a significant reason why we have Trump in the first place.

The people who do so don't give a crap about the country. They only care about themselves and their alleged principles.

"it costs us nothing"

It might cost Sanders voters who would otherwise consider him. Endorsements rarely mean much, but if the Sanders campaign doubles down and defends giving this guy press on their campaign site, it could very well turn people off. Sanders needs to distance himself as he did with Cenk and do it now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
