Arguing about Sanders vs Biden

is like arguing about the arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic. Trump is an existential threat to our country and we all need to vote for the Democratic nominee who ever that is.

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

not to mention disillusioned Republicans, will vote for someone with the word socialist in his title?

Can you stop for a moment to realize how this tag will trickle to down ballots?

Plus, most of us want to vote for a Democrat!

Yes, we can vote for him but we can say hello to four more years of Trump, to losing the House - most who won are moderates - forget about flipping the Senate and be ready for the complete transformation of the judiciary system thanks to the turtle.

Biden: "There aren't enough lifeboats, so we must make sure as many people get on them as possible, especially our most vulnerable"

Sanders: "To use the lifeboats is to continue a failed system; we must work together to rebuild the ship itself"

This is primary season. This is what primaries are for. Let these clowns punch each other in the dick if that's what they want to do. As long as they limp to the polls to vote Democrat in November, it's no skin off my back.

....I'm supporting Biden because I believe he has a better chance against the Orange Menace.

If Sanders is the nominee, I will absolutely vote for him in the general.
