Question for Bernie Supporters. [View all]

Please take this in all seriousness. It is not intended to be mean-spirited.

Biden has more delegates and will probably win the nomination.

If you cross "Bernie wins the nomination" off of your wish list, what do you want next?

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