7. I like Sanders a lot. I voted for him in 2016.

I think an absolute assurance that their ideas will still be represented in the Biden campaign would go a long way.

A lot Sanders supporters don't hate Biden, they fear he won't fight for the things they hold most dear.

Despite the crap on twitter, most Sanders supporters are very good people with very good beliefs. They are just afraid those beliefs will be compromised away. Find a way to reassure them that isn't the case, and I think they will come on board.

That said, I'm not sure exactly HOW to reassure them of such a thing.

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