1. You may want to correct this:

His name is Ali Velshi.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yes, done. My typing fingers have a "mind of their own" in the wee morning hours.

2. Top response on that thread

4. +++

It's the perfect response! "Did we just become best friends? "

[William769]

5. Kick & recommended.

[IronLionZion]

6. Agreed

Some of us have skin in the game with serious impacts to our lives and our loved ones. Others are showing their privilege.

People who won't support our nominee, were likely not Democrats to begin with.

[FakeNoose]

12. "They were likely not Democrats to begin with"

We need to acknowledge this, and the Bernie Sanders campaign needs to acknowledge it.

There are nasty double-dealing Repukes who masquerade as Bernie supporters now, but they're only acting as deep-cover "sleeper" agents. They have no intention of voting D in the general election. They're only involved with Bernie for one reason - to undermine our Party's solidarity and our efforts to vote Chump out of office.

Are the Repukes really that nasty that they would do this? Why yes indeed they are, because we know they did it in 2016 and they're even more desperate this year. I'd even suppose that many of them are doing it for money, they're getting PAID to be undercover Bernie-Bros during the campaign season.

Of course Bernie realizes it but he won't ever clean house and get rid of them.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. Why would they undermine the candidate that trump can defeat?

[FakeNoose]

24. Sorry I wasn't clear

The Trump Party wants Bernie to be our candidate, not Joe Biden.
They know they can beat Bernie, and they're pretty sure they can't beat Joe.

So their goal is to make sure the Democrats cannot get a consensus on Biden.
It's all going to backfire on them, of course. We are getting to a consensus and I'm pretty sure it's Joe.

7. Spme of the comments on there are

disgusting.. they don't care about our Country or the Planet.

[liberalmuse]

14. Don't discount trolls.

And not just from Russia. A lot of countries with despotic rulers want Trump to win and America to fall. A lot of repubs want to destroy this country and shape it in Trump’s image. The Russian trolls were out in full force last night after Biden’s wins. Twitter is good once in awhile, but it is mostly a cesspool stew for propaganda spreading trolls and their ilk. Avoid the comments unless you have a troll dungeon. I had a huge troll dungeon on my former account and it wasn’t enough.

[djacq]

8. Amen to that.

[johnthewoodworker]

9. I'm a Warren guy. I have said before that I will vote for whomever wins the nomination. I have read

quite a few posts and threads that were not just anti-Sanders, but were anti-Sanders supporters. Now that Biden looks to be the presumptive nominee, Biden supporters should be looking at being a little less strident in your criticism.
I can't see how anyone with any ethical sense could ever vote Trump, but why make it more difficult by belittling others. Not all Sanders supporters were 'Bernie bros'.

[hlthe2b]

10. I have not nor am I doing so.

All my posts re: Bernie have emphasized the need to accord him respect and ultimately a respectful exit to the race. In doing so, we likewise accord his supporters the same.

[IronLionZion]

19. Biden himself has thanked Bernie and his supporters

and is openly trying to welcome them into his campaign and address issues we all have in common.

I'm also a Warren guy but I feel completely comfortable supporting Biden as our nominee and wish more would do the same. Biden can get more of Warren and Sanders' policies implemented if we can also win the Senate and appoint good federal judges.

[CanonRay]

11. Indeed

[safeinOhio]

13. Few people are more of a Socialist than me.

However, I voted for Joe in the Michigan primary because no one is more anti-fascist than me. I could even live with tramp if we had both Houses of Congress, but I felt Bernie might not be able to help with that. I'm not taking any chances. Joe is not only a good guy, I'm sure he is more open to moving to the left than being a hard ass on moving toward Medicare for all. We just have to find a way to prove that the money saved will be more than we spend on the current system. Before Obama Care I lost friends that got dropped when their cheap ass private health care had to pay for their hospital stay. They freaking died. Expanding Obama Care is way better than what tramp is doing. 4 years ago I voted for Bernie in the primary, not this time and 4 years ago I voted for Hillary and cried when she lost.

15. I hope Bernie says this at some point

And Nina Turner, too.

16. What we have here is a situation where the future of the Republic is at stake.

Donald Trump is committed to tearing down our government and replacing it with what essentially amounts to a Russia clone.
For anyone who claims to be a Democrat to say they won't vote for the candidate who wins the Democratic nomination for President because it isn't their favorite is tantamount to endorsing Trump's actions.

For anyone out there who is planning to take that course of action, I can only say that this is not about personal politics; not about getting all that you want; not about ego; not about feeling defeated because your candidate isn't chosen as the Democratic candidate.

This is war; a war being waged by Trump and the Republicans against the fundamental principles of this nation. The stakes are too high to let hurt feelings dictate your actions in the November election.

If you're looking for a revolution, well...Trump is staging one right now.

There are less than 8 months to rally our people and throw the bum out.
You have to ask yourself, what kind of future do you want to live in?

This may be our last, best chance to save the nation. Don't screw it up.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. I'm aghast!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. To admit that you're not going to vote for the Democratic nominee

Is to admit you have a tremendous privilege.

23. KICK!

[Codeine]

25. Absolute truth.

White middle-class kids playing at being revolutionaries while being insulated from the consequences does not impress me.

My children do not deserve to live in a world sent to the shitter because a bunch of hipster doofuses decided it’s Bernie or Bust.

[mercuryblues]

26. I was a Harris supporter

When she dropped out, I moved to Warren. when She dropped out I moved to Biden.

I am frustrated that those 2 hard working and experienced woman could not be competitive. You know what I'm NOT going to do? Stomp my foot and vow not to vote. You know what I am going to do? Vote for Biden instead of contributing to 4 more years of trumpster fires.
