Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!

In reply to the discussion: Anxiety of a Bernie Sanders Democrat ticket begins to spread down the ballot in Miami [View all]Desert grandma
(1,077 posts)8. Many of us here do not agree with you.
I believe he will lose and cost us many other Congressional seats if he is the nominee. In my opinion, he will not beat Trump in the states we need to win in the electoral college. I admire your enthusiasm but I am one of those 65+ voters who are very reliable voters. I will vote for Bloomberg before Bernie. It is not that we hate him or his policies. We don't. Realistically and practically we think he will be a disaster because this country is center left...at least in the states we need to win the EC. There has to be a reason why Trump and Russia and the GOP are supporting Sanders and hope he wins. They would prefer that he be the nominee, because they consider him the weakest candidate against the Orange Maggot. However, we are each entitled to our own opinion. We will see how this plays out.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

A bit early for that. There is no misinformation about Sander's self-description.

I see DUers literally describing Sanders as a Russian asset. There's misinformation.
