"SNIP.....

Bernie Sanders told the Associated Press that it would be “irresponsible” for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who “sit on their hands” in the months ahead would simply enable President Trump’s reelection.

......SNIP"

2. Sanders had a good long run and people did listen to his ideas. Obama stayed

out of the race. Democratic establishment did what they said they were going to do. People were inspired with medicare for all. I heard one story about someone scared about medical bills and that was enough to send this canadian to Bernie for a bit. Bloomberg came in and people sat with what that meant till they saw him debate. In the end there were more center left people. And when they consoladated the vote behind Biden that was it. All done openly with no rapt coronation. People just want Trump gone and to git her done. When Bernie could not even deliver the votes of his young base in the primaries, he had no legs to stand on. Biden then delivered and delivered and delivered. Democrats should be proud of how we did this. Yes there was anger but most everyone never lost sight of the goal.

3. I have qualms with Biden's past, but

I don't need anyone to remind me Trump has gotta go. I know who I am voting for in the GE.

5. What did he have to say about efforts to "kneecap" Biden? Anything?

6. "Irresponsible" is putting

it mildly.

Opposing Biden right now is absolute madness!

7. Sanders whole campaign was catastrophically irresponsible. He created those loyalists.

His whole red faced, finger wagging, spittle filled diatribes against Democrats and the party weren’t exactly designed to bring people into the fold. Why else would he hire third party supporting surrogates who still won’t support Biden and continue spreading vicious lies and propaganda?

Bernie Bros love their drama. Which message are they really going to listen to?

8. pretty thin gruel.

Yes it's nice that he isn't openly calling Biden a corrupt stooge, leaving that to his supposedly former staff, but if responsible behavior were uppermost in Bernie's loyalists they wouldn't be Bernie loyalists.

Call me cynical but I hear this as "let's keep fighting on the down-low." And that is what I expect they will do.

9. But he told us Biden wants to take away social safety nets, wanted the Iraq War,

is in the pocket of insurance companies and doesn't want universal health care, is corrupted by Super PACS, bankruptcy bill, wants bad trade agreements that hurt the American working class, is status quo, not progressive, establishment, etc.

Now suddenly it's fine?
