and I wouldn't expect people who aren't Democrats to vote for the Democratic candidate. If they do, great! But I don't expect it.

and I mean, volunteered for Jimmy Carter Democrats. Clinton democrats for sure. And then this "Bernie or bust" thing and the racism is on steroids.

It's built on racism and it highly favors whites. Whites are racist. Doesn't mean they are KKK members, but it would help the cause if liberals would use the term racism correctly.

Voted Bernie in the primary, then Hillary in the general... No hesitation. I voted Bernie again and will vote Joe very happily as soon as I have my ballot. I find it personally insulting so many here question my vote and deem me some kind of traitor because I voted Bernie in a primary.

There seems to be some effort going on to convince people otherwise, but of course that is a lie.

And he backed the Dem candidate. And he did rallies for the Dem candidate. And his supporters voted for Clinton at a higher rate than Clinton supporters did for Obama.

But, yeah, sure, I guess there might be some similarity somewhere.

Will you be questioning Dems who voted for anyone else in the primary? Or just the Bernie voters?

And saw him in front of a raucous crowd in Philly.

HOWEVER....never even gave a thought to not voting or voting for 45 ( )--Good God--once he wasn't the nominee.

I then went and saw Hillary & the Obamas & Springsteen in Philly right before the election.

I've been a Joe guy for years, though, so he had me from the start this time.

18. I know one Bernie person who might not vote for Biden.

But he's only a bernie person because of me (as I was a Bernie person in the primaries), and he voted once (maybe twice) in his entire 38 year life and just doesn't pay any attention to politics. He does, however, listen to me if I push hard enough -and I promise you I will push hard to make sure him and his wife vote for Biden.

But I know ten other Bernie people who are absolutely Biden voters this year.


Oh also! I know one Trump voter from 2016 who is absolutely voting for Biden.

I cannot wait to vote for Joe Biden. Nothing is more important than getting rid of Trump and putting a decent human being back in charge who actually cares about other people. Pretty easy to be enthusiastic about saving our country.

But even in a raging pandemic, I am going in person to vote for Biden. I feel that's the best chance for ensuring that the vote is actually counted.
