Bernie is endangering the very people he's claiming to want to protect.

[nolawarlock]

This is getting ridiculous. Bernie is losing Arizona, Florida, and Illinois. He's simply not going to win this. His insistence on a standing debate was a backfire and made Biden look even more presidential by comparison. Since Article Two makes it pretty impossible to postpone the Presidential election, and since other items on the ballot can be postponed, Bernie is essentially endangering the very people he's claiming to want to help with Medicare-for-All by keeping these primaries going! He isn't going to win and staying in is only going to kill people at this point so he really should drop out.

For those bellowing the old line about voices being heard, voices require working lungs. There's no point in wasting any air on something that just isn't going to happen.

1. well he is keeping young people safe since they are staying away from polling places nt

[nolawarlock]

3. True that! n/t

[Cha]

2. He really is.

4. Yes he is. Not in only one way. Not only keeping primary going with covid 19 but doing damage to Dem

and not getting behind Biden. He had five years with this revolution and it is a fail. Now is the time for Sanders to do the right thing. Personally, I do not think he is capable and I think his history proves me right.

6. Thank you ...

There is that! I've got Republican friends going on and on about how badly Trumpty Dumpty is handling this virus. I mean it's really embarrassing and, in a stream of already embarrassing behavior over the past several years, it's a new low! And you can't help but wonder if it's about his hotels or if it's about his golf courses or whether he thinks keeping the test kit supply low let's him act like everything is ok.

I have never hated a human being with the amount of ferocity that I despise this president. I already hated Bernie for being a spoiler that, along with Comey, helped this dolt get into office. I am really starting to hate him for helping Trump stay there.

8. He didn't care in 2016 and he is showing us all over again, he doesn't care in 2020.

12. What's a few old people, right?

I mean his are the precious "young voters!" You know, the ones that don't actually vote! :-D

[LizBeth]

13. Well, the upside is the young ones are carrying it cause they go to big ole rallies.

Old people are probably safer than going to the grocery store anyway, the kids are nowhere to be seen.

[nolawarlock]

14. Y'ain't seeing me in any grocery store.

We're hardcore. We get Instacart, and my husband has them leave the bags at the door, sprays them down with lysol, and washes all the cans and jars. LOL

[LizBeth]

15. Listen to you. My son wants me to do that.

[nolawarlock]

16. I'm a survivor.

I've got several shops and major events (thankfully not till August for those!) I need to save and I am determined not to lay off a single employee.

[LizBeth]

17. Good for you. I hope the best for you on that.

5. Last I saw

Joe had over 1,100 delegates. That might have been a projection. I'm racing back and forth between numbers with a few local races and also kinda tired. But the point is, Joe is well on his way. He IS the presumptive nominee.

Bernie is only attempting to be a thorn in the side at this point in time. What's it gonna to take for common sense to overcome him?

[nolawarlock]

7. A thorn in the side would just be annoying ...

This is far worse.

Let's face it, many, many older people are going to go out and vote regardless. It's what they do. This virus may keep some home but not all. So how many of these people will be endangered because Bernie wants Joe to understand his polices better.

FFS Bernie, we understand your policies … and many of us just aren't interested in how you plan to get there!

[LizBeth]

9. +1

[blue-wave]

10. You are spot on

I'm trying to soft pedal my comments a bit because well, I'm opinionated and let my true feelings about Sanders known at times. But yes, Bernie is risking lives by staying in. He has no path to the nomination after tonight.

[nolawarlock]

11. I've got no more f#cks to give ...

We're in what is quite possibly the greatest health and economic crisis of our lifetimes, and that's including the oldest members of this site.

Shit's got real. I haven't left this house in weeks and I'm pretty pissed off that both our moron of A president and this simpleton of a candidate are helping to keep it going.

Soft-pedaling is not something I'm known for on my best day, but these days, it's scorched earth.
