Sanders exited the Democratic primary on Wednesday, effectively making Biden the presumptive nominee to take on President Donald Trump in November.

[onetexan]

28. K&R - took a while but he did it

BS has finally reached the acceptance phase of the grieving process

All kidding aside, thank u Bernie

[Skinner]

5. Good to hear.

[brooklynite]

6. Our friends at JPR will have a hard time digesting this...

[ehrnst]

13. Yep. The vilification there of anyone who degrades themselves by supporting Biden

must be causing some real cognitive dissonance.

I await the conspiracy theories.

[Cha]

76. lol.. they can hang on to BJG... she's not "degrading"

herself.. oh wait.. she already has.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Went There For 5 Minutes

Right after I heard the endorsement news.
Read 2 threads. At least 3 in 4 posts were negative.
One thread was loaded with "I ain't voting for Joe" posts.
Misdirected passion.

[mwooldri]

47. Kinda why I got disappointed.

I viewed JPR as a safe haven in 2016 during the primaries then for Bernie supporters who also supported Democrats. That 2016 primary season was BRUTAL.

Thankfully Bernie has done the right thing, endorsed early on, and we all get a move on together to make the Marmalade Shartcannon implode on itself in November.

[still_one]

55. Who cares. We will unite to beat trump

[burrowowl]

64. What is JPR?

[AverageJoe]

70. Is JPR a progressive site?

I’m not familiar with it.

[sheshe2]

84. No....yet you can decide.

https://jackpineradicals.com/

Calling Hill the C word IMHO is not Progressive.

Granted it has been awhile since they did.

[betsuni]

86. I went there today and both Hillary and Klobuchar were called the c-word.

But I didn't read that much, so probably more.

[sheshe2]

88. WTH!!!??

Still Hill, she is not even running! Now Klobuchar.

They are real progressives supporting women.

SMDH.

Two ex DUers built that. One an admitted Republican.

[betsuni]

89. They're still obsessed with Hillary, except they don't spell her name like that.

I thought they couldn't hate Biden more than Hillary, but it's pretty close: "Trump is the lesser of two evils." After nearly four years of Trump!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

92. Sounds like JPR is a good thing then

Keeps most of the trash out of this place

[sheshe2]

94. Most, not all.

[betsuni]

87. Funniest comment: DUers are "sneaking to JPR to see the future."

And they are not a cult so don't have to do what Bernie says, so there. It's only about the policies. The DNC/Democrats are the ones who love cults. No cult, no cult. You're the cult! And "Trump is the lesser of two evils."

[spicysista]

7. Alright! Onwards to victory!

Let's geaux, Dems!!!!


Thank you, Senator Sanders and supporters. Welcome aboard.

[Sloumeau]

9. Attaboy, Bernie! :) nt

[Johnyawl]

10. THANK YOU SENATOR SANDERS!!!!

We needed this, now let's quit arguing and throwing darts at each other and kick republican ass! Next January when President Biden is backed up by a House and Senate controlled by Democrats we can go back to fighting over the issues that are important to us.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. +1. Kick Republicon's asses right into a critical care assisted living faclity. . . . nt

[VWolf]

11. Good deal

Time to kick some ass!!!

[Siwsan]

12. This news has me in such GLORIOUS tears!!

Thank you, Bernie!! You are my hero, today!

[SammyWinstonJack]

71. +1000000!

[The Magistrate]

14. He Must Still Make Good On It At The Convention, Sir

All this talk of 'leverage' and such to force platform and rules changes has to go by the board.

[William769]

26. ...

[The Magistrate]

31. What He Said Today Is Good So Far As It Goes, Sir

I like to keep an open mind, and would much prefer the man is sincere. But I will await actions which demonstrate sincere commitment before accepting the man as a comrade.

[William769]

32. Same here.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. 2016

[empedocles]

62. yep, yep, yep

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

35. Yeah, better late than never. n/t

[George II]

15. I hope he sits AOC down and has a talk with her. She was complaining to the NY Times....

....that Biden never called her.

Bernie should give her the definition of "chutzpah".

[RRDrummer]

16. This is a big fucking deal

The Biden quote I was hoping for

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Thank you. . . . nt

[EllieBC]

18. Awesome job, Senator Sanders!

Thank you!

[Paladin]

19. Bernie gets it---even if some of his followers still don't. (nt)

[C Moon]

[Walleye]

22. Bernie steps up. He is a patriot. Their conversation was beautiful

[PatSeg]

25. TG

Now, please throw our shoulders into the work. We need our country back in operable condition. Throw off the yoke of tyranny.

[ucrdem]

27. Good going Bernie.

You're catching on!

[cilla4progress]

29. WE GOT THIS!

I hope he's got a solid role in the new admin for Bernie!!!!!!!



I haven't truly been able to let tears flow since that ill-fated night in November 2016. I've been gobsmacked, in shock, PTSD, since.

I do feel a welling up at this moment...

I also feel that we will go forward with new appreciation, realization, and understanding how connected we ALL are!

dear goddess PLEASE LET IT BE SO!!!!

[redstatebluegirl]

30. Good move Bernie.

[yardwork]

33. Good for Bernie.

[lapucelle]

34. I wonder if the exits of bribri and sirota are in any way connected. N/T

[ehrnst]

39. I can't imagine that after their statements about Biden, they would

tolerate being told to be supportive of Biden.

[Paper Roses]

37. Thanks Bernie. We cannot afford any division in November.

I supported Bernie in 2016 and was crucified here on DU. Those who have been here know that I have been a member since 2005.
We are all allowed our opinions at any time. I withdrew from posting for ages, I'm not not too good at fighting on line.

This time around, I am here again with the hope that we all fight like heck for Biden without the awful, posts that sent some of us away in 2016.
It is too important now to fight between all of us.

The only thing that matters now is to defeat this evil devil in the White House and also the rest of his sycophants..
We have fallen so far as a nation, we need to change everything..no time to fight between ourselves. It is time to fight the re-thugs who have such a hold on everything.

Bernie is no longer a factor, time to fight to get change in Washington.. Leave the past behind and back all Democrats. I thank Senator Sanders for his endorsement of VP Biden.

Best to all, keep safe as we get through this current mess we are all facing.

[Politicub]

38. I am wildly happy about this!!

[Dopers_Greed]

40. Can't wait to watch TYT

Chunk's head will explode

[relayerbob]

41. Thank you, Senator Sanders

[liberalla]

42. Nice! I'm glad this is settled, and didn't drag on any longer. Thank you Bernie!

Just saw a clip of it on my local news.

[George II]

43. And within MINUTES Briahna Joy Gray shows her true colors...

Remember, she proudly boasted that she voted for Jill Stein in 2016:

[bhusar]

50. I hardly post here

But I’m trying to spend more time here than Twitter because I see so many of his former surrogates saying this. I hope the true supporters listen to Bernie and not the BJG’s and Nina Turner’s. We need to win this election more than ever and I want win. Bravo Bernie. Let’s go Joe.

[ehrnst]

52. Well, it's not like she making much of an effort to hide them.

[sheshe2]

85. That will make Bri a third party voter twice now.

Hm.

[Gothmog]

45. Yeah

[honest.abe]

46. Fantastic!

I have to admit I didnt think he was going to do it until the bitter end.

Thank you Bernie!

48. Wow!

Way to go, Bernie!

It is time to evict the monster and get our country back.

[Historic NY]

58. Well that knocked me over....

I guess it came to him that rebuilding this country is also going to be about rebuilding lives, mourning those lost and making sure decisions to continue the Covid-19 fight are pretty important. It will take everyone working together to get thru this.

[bluestarone]

59. So happy for this

NOW full steam ahead!

[Mickju]

60. Thank you Bernie.

I’m sure that wasn’t easy for you. I didn’t support you for the nomination, but I would have happily voted for you in the general.

[Polybius]

61. I'm really glad that Bernie did this

Perhaps a cabinet post if Joe wins? What would be the best position?

[EarthFirst]

75. HHS without a doubt! nt

[DarthDem]

63. Thank you, Sen. Sanders

In the words of Joe Biden, this is a "big deal." And I particularly appreciate that Sen. Sanders did it so quickly. Bravo!!

Get out the fucking vote - if you value your life, and those of your loved ones.
