Why does Bernie think people he's been disparaging as "Corporate Democrats" --

[pnwmom]

i.e., the supporters of Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and O'Rourke -- will turn to him now?

Does he think he can scold them into voting for him?

[TwilightZone]

1. He knows they won't. He knows he has to win on the first ballot.

That's why he's planting the seeds and jacking up his supporters with the "plurality" talking points. He knows that if it comes down to coalition building at the convention that he will lose. And he's right.

The "unity" stuff has more to do with his movement than this campaign. He thinks everyone believes in his message and that's all the unity anyone should need.

2. Amy said we should join hands instead of pointing fingers.

Whose fingers do you suppose she was talking about?

[Walleye]

3. Scolding is the word for it.

That’s not a way to win people over

4. Bernie's rigid dogma

What has made me through this election become disgusted with ' progressives' is their intolerant rigidness in the face of a generational and existential evil in Trump.

It seems they want Trump to win if their precious Bernie can't win.

They don't even give lip service to the notion of supporting a Dem other than Bernie.

Even in light of the horrible possibility of another GOP Trump term and the damage and human suffering that will happen

7. Must be what? I like Joe, but I'm concerned about his gaffs. That is what I'm really concerned

about Joe. I seriously hope that you are correct, but I’m not sure.

But on top of it, he is not the FDR type I do like. I want Citizens United reversed, Medicare for all, the green new deal, well that is that. If Biden wants then I’m good.

8. I love Liz, too. But Bernie, no. n/t

10. wouldn't any of the candidates sign those into law

if there was a Congress that passed them?

11. Gaffs v. Children in cages, pathological lying, science deniers, over the top corruption

... the list goes on and on. People have and are still dying under trump but Biden's gaffs is what worries you? Don't focus on the small stuff. Even without gaffs the media will go after Biden. We just need to stand up and be vocal in our support of Joe

6. that's the kind of man he is...and has always been nt

[KT2000]

9. the perfect word - scold!

that is the vibe he sends out.
