[SiliconValley_Dem]

[dalton99a]

3. Kick

[smirkymonkey]

5. Thank you, Bernie, for being a mensch!

[Aristus]

6. Thank you, Bernie.

Now wrangle your pin-headed die-hards, will you? One of them is calling Biden "Blue Trump". That's just about the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever read...

[SiliconValley_Dem]

8. i think he will. very vocally. we can't afford to lose

[George II]

11. His now ex-National Press Secretary is already bashing Biden on Twitter for picking Harris.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

16. operative word being "EX". these ex staffers can pound sand

[dhol82]

17. Oh, fuck.

Give it a rest.

[SlogginThroughIt]

29. Why?

Why do we have to give it a rest? We shpuld just accept our nominees be bashed?

[dhol82]

31. No, Bernie Bros need to let it go.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

32. fortunately..their noise level has subsided

[dhol82]

33. Thank goodness!

[SlogginThroughIt]

41. Agreed!

[murielm99]

54. Then Bernie needs to TELL THEM,

loudly and publicly.

[dhol82]

55. Well, that would be nice. Has he ever done it?

[Mariana]

27. That sounds like a good topic for a new thread.

There's no need to hijack this one.

[calimary]

13. THIS!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much THIS!

[SiliconValley_Dem]

21. yes!!!! as we saw from 2016 we need him to vocally pull them to Biden

[Sympthsical]

14. He's been very vocal about getting his supporters on board

People always focus on what Nina Turner or Briahn Joy Gray get up to, but never acknowledge that Bernie has been working hard all summer to exhort his former supporters to get on the Biden train. He endorsed Biden immediately upon leaving the race.

Sanders loathes Trump and will do everything possible to see him defeated. I wish people would stop using the likes of Turner to take shots at him. (not saying you're doing that here, but I see it constantly on this board).

Sanders ended his 2020 presidential campaign and cleared the field for Biden in April rather than fight to the bitter end as many supporters wanted. The Vermont senator is ordering his delegates to the Democratic convention to avoid criticizing Biden. Top lieutenants have set up a super PAC to back the former vice president. And Sanders allies have teamed up with Biden’s on task forces to develop the party platform.

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-05-25/bernie-sanders-new-role-team-player-helping-biden

And that's from late May. He's been doing a lot since.

The assholes on Twitter are loud and obnoxious. You know, like everyone else . . . on Twitter. But they're a minority.

I lot of my social circle are die hard Sanders supporters (tch, Bay Area, eh?). They're not thrilled with Biden, don't seem energized by Harris so far. But they're all voting for Biden. It isn't even a question with them.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

50. yea, and I'm looking forward to his speeches and emails to supporters

to cajole them to support Biden/Harris with gusto

[McKim]

56. Yes, Give it a Rest Please!

Yes, give it a rest please! Kicking Sanders supporters around is just not productive for Democrats. I am offended that I am still bashed on this site for supporting Sanders. I wanted Health Care for All like they have in Europe. I grew up with a diabetic mother way before we had employer health care. We worried all the time about paying for her health care. I lived in Europe and did not pay a penny for some serious surgeries and health care over a tough year. We gave the legal limit to Sanders. Now we are Biden supporters. So just stop the bashing please. It is not helping Biden and divides the party. Let the die hard talk, they are just wrong headed. Don’t give them any more oxygen by keeping this going.

49. I posted a thread with an excellent Bernie ad doing just that:

[onetexan]

[JHB]

10. Progressives For Biden (Really American ad)

[SiliconValley_Dem]

18. very good ad

[crickets]

23. Wow, good for Bernie. Great ad! nt

[yardwork]

12. Very pleased to see this, as well as his call for a tax on billionaires.

[mitch96]

15. " his call for a tax on billionaires"

From your keyboard to god's fax machine!! rescind the tax cut for the rich and there will be PLENTY of money to help people thru this virus stuff.. then Then THEN increase the taxes on the highest 1 % to help pay for the rest of the things we need to help this country. YMMV

[llmart]

19. +1000

Great post. We need to win the Senate also.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

22. yes!!!! so hopeful about AZ, Maine and Colorado

[MLAA]

20. Well done, Bernie.

[Tommymac]

24. Well Spoke Sen Sanders. I'm with you all the way.

He is passing his mantle to Kamala. Well deserved honor.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

25. yes!!

[Tommymac]

44. I really really like and respect Joe...

But Kamala takes it to a whole new level. I really feel HOPE again.

[bdamomma]

26. Let's say

we all have her back!! Nothing is going to stop us now.

[Ahpook]

28. Love ya Bernie

Always have

[zentrum]

30. Love Bernie.

He'll help turn out the vote.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

46. I'm looking forward to his holy Jeremiads calling people to vote NOW

as soon as you get your ballot, fill it out and drop off at a county elections office or drop box.

if your state has early voting but not vote by mail, get out there early to vote and then help others vote all the way til polls close on election day

[Orrex]

35. Classy.

Thank you, Senator.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

37. Thank you Sen. Sanders

This should make Nina Turner and Brihana Joy-Grey shut up.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

38. please make them go away

[Cozmo]

39. Screw Sanders

He congratulates Kamala today when yesterday he was demanding that the UAW nominate him during the convention.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

42. really? where is that

[Celerity]

45. that's a really dodgy take, designed to shit-stir, m8

he is not trying to have the UAW en toto nominate him

Bob King retired as UAW president in 2014

and all the nominees with delegates will be nominated

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-sanders-uaw/uaw-president-sanders-divided-over-convention-event-idUSKCN25700H

Although Biden’s delegate numbers mean his nomination is a formality, other primary candidates are still expected to be introduced to the audience as nominees as part of the pageantry of the week-long event.

[KS Toronado]

47. Cozmo, you a Russian troll? Sounds like it spreading lies.

[Hortensis]

57. Yes, but thank goodness he's joined our side to stop the Republicans.

And, boy, do I really mean that.

I've never known what goes on in his mind, unlikely to be remorse guessing from others, but the slaughter of the Democratic Party in 2016 may have caused him to realize that the RW revolution was far, far, FAR advanced beyond LW magical thinking. And that the only place for his kind of leader in their kind of brave new world would be prison.

[AmericanCanuck]

40. Good for Sen Sanders!!

UNITY is what we need right now.

[Upthevibe]

43. Thank you, Bernie!
