(43,272 posts)votes away from Bernie) that the (non DU) OR/TYT/Sirota hardcore storm-troopers are going full attack mode. I went to a Bernie site and they HATE HATE Buttigieg, almost as much, if not more than Biden and Harris. They even dislike Warren (WTF?), Cory, and Gabbard (figured they would like her and she is a Bernie huge supporter). It is a cult IMHO.
I love a lot of Bernie's policies, but I want to beat Trump. I do NOT love the non-DU Berners. I have brought over a lot of my friends to support Pete, but some still are for Bernie, and a couple are so not like last time, in 2016. They are just nasty atm. One I stopped talking to for now. I grew up with her in London (we both are dual citizens, US/UK and we had a falling out over Brexit (I was Remain, she was Leave). I do not understand the animosity flowing from the camp. Thank dog there are zero Sanders supporters here like that (unless I have yet to meet them).
If Pete cannot take Biden in the primaries, then Joe has a warrior in me come the general. Same for Warren, Harris, Beto, Booker, Abrams (IF she runs and wins, which I think she runs for the Senate, which I prefer). Same for Bernie, but I will admit to being in great fear of Trump winning at that point.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
