Bernie’s student army learns to live with Biden
As coronavirus deaths mount and Donald Trump strikes a law-and-order pose, some of Sanders’ die-hard college supporters are begrudgingly coming around to the former veep.

As the Democratic primary drew to its conclusion, a flurry of Students for Bernie college organizations made clear where they stood: There was no way they could vote for Joe Biden. If Sanders wasn’t the nominee, they planned to either sit out the fall election or vote third party.

But as coronavirus deaths mount and Donald Trump strikes a law-and-order pose against the protests sweeping the nation, many of the leaders of those groups are rethinking their hardline position. And faced with a choice between a candidate they distrust due to his lack of progressive bona fides, or ushering in the second term of an incumbent they loathe, more than a few leftist college student leaders are learning to live with Biden.

“In recent weeks, it's become pretty clear that Trump is willing to crack down on free speech, and so it's definitely making me lean more toward Biden now,” said Harry Feldman, a Georgia Tech senior and co-chair of the school’s Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter, who was considering voting third party in Georgia.

Amira Chowdhury, the co-director of a left-wing University of Pennsylvania group that vowed in late March it “will never endorse, nor support Joe Biden,” has also come around on the former vice president. She attributed it to what she called Trump’s failure of leadership, bigotry, and racism in recent weeks and her role as a voter in a swing state that Trump captured by just over 44,000 votes in 2016.

“With a heavy heart, and with great anger and frustration, and with great rage towards the Democratic establishment, I will vote for Biden,” said Chowdhury, whose Penn for Bernie group is now known as Penn Justice Democrats.

1. Well it only took a 130,000 fellow dead Americans for them to come around

So that’s good, I guess.

2. Better late than never, I guess.

I can see wanting some change in the Democratic party, but rage? FFS.

3. Simpler Phrasing For The 2 Quoted

"Trump must go. I was wrong. Biden is my choice."
The rest was pointless bluster.

8. "Looking at Trump now, he's really shown his true colors"

Anyone with the slightest amount of common sense knew Trump's true colors in 2016.

"A lot of the policies that Joe is talking about, and his vision for America, is very progressive." Oh, but in 2016 almost the same policies weren't progressive. I mean, Hillary's health plan was ACA with public option and Medicare at 55. But Biden's ACA with public option and Medicare at 60 is more progressive? Okay then! Biden has the advantage of not having someone calling him corrupt and evil every day.
