Just changed From undecided to Biden!

[dreamland]

All along I kept hearing Biden doesn't excite but in the past two weeks, he's completely changed man. There were so many great candidates to choose from like a menu from A Greek diner, that it was too confusing to know what I want. Now that it's down to just two candidates, is such much simpler like choosing between a hamburger or a hot dog. I don't t like Sanders, I supported him in 2016 primaries but eventually voted for Hillary. Since then, Sanders has shown himself to be aligned with so many of the "bad" policies that I was starting to feel distant towards him. The very first was when he praised tRUMP for leaving the TPP, then there was the admiration giving when tRUMP met with Kim Jong Un. finally, he and Warren campaigned relentlessly in 2016, going their separate ways in 2020 but for two people whose ideology is supposedly progressively align, for Warren not to back him after she bowed out of the race is saying something. Sure Warren also didn't back Biden but Biden wasn't ever perceived as a progressive and Warren never developed a relationship with Biden like she did with Sanders while campaigning in 2016. I just wish that he now puts his efforts to supporting Biden and perhaps angle for a Secretary of State position instead. I think he'd be a better SoS.

1. Welcome...thanks. We are up a point!

2. I agree with you except for your last sentence.

Bernie would be an absolutely horrible SoS, for the same reason that he would be a lousy president: he is a rigid ideologue. A SoS is supposed to promote and follow the policies of the administration, and Bernie wouldn't do that because he has his own ideas that he thinks are better than everybody else's. There's also the fact that his focus has always been almost entirely on domestic issues and he has virtually no expertise in the area of foreign policy. He should stay in the Senate if his state wants to keep him there. Maybe Vermont needs to get more post offices named.

3. +1000

Completely Agree with you Velveteen Ocelot....

Thank you for saying what needs to be said...

8. Bernie is irritable

Does not like being questioned. Great negotiator? I do not think so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. He is not noted for his diplomatic skills. The SoS is the chief diplomat

for the US. He would suck at it.

[PatSeg]

12. I agree

Diplomacy and foreign affairs are not Sanders' strong points. After years of Trump's outrageous treatment of our allies, we don't need a SOS who yells and points at them. Now I'm beginning to wonder how Vermont has put up with him for so long.

21. +another 1000

that's why i think he wouldn't make a good POTUS

4. Welcome aboard the SS Biden !

5. Kudos to you!

[UncleNoel]

6. Welcome to the Biden band!

[SCantiGOP]

7. You ready to decide who you are pulling for in last year's Super Bowl

Just kidding. It took me a while to make that final decision too. I had, at various times, my preferred candidate as: Undecided, Biden, Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar and then, final answer, Biden.

Welcome to the team that has won the primary and is going to win the battle to save America.

9. He would be very good at HUD.

[DownriverDem]

11. Good

I just don't get how anyone could be undecided at this point.

[PatSeg]

13. Oh, I don't think the "undecided"

are really undecided. They just don't choose to state their preference, though at this point, I don't think it matters anymore.

[Turin_C3PO]

15. Some of the undecideds

are that way because they still want to honor Warren or Klobuchar or Buttigieg, etc. They’re not ready to change teams yet. I can respect that.

[mwooldri]

19. Exactly. But it's time.

Joe Biden is effectively the presumptive Democratic Party candidate for President.

[dreamland]

29. You are correct, I was wavering with Warren, Booker and Yang.

There's good I found in every one of the candidates but not every candidate was perfect. It was difficult when. There were too much choices.

[emmaverybo]

14. He is actually the same man. Just goes to show we put too much emphasis on group debates,

that MSM influences voting too much, and that small, white states should not go first. He was always the most qualified, experienced, job-specific knowledgable candidate and the one with a powerful message from day one.

16. Welcome to the party!

17. KnR

Welcome to the winning side

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. Thank you dreamland for getting off the fence, and joining Team Biden. As far as

the excitement aspect, well, he may seem a bit bland, but his does have a sense of humor!

22. Welcome to the front!

Personally, I think Warren told him to go fuck himself when she dropped out. During Rachel's interiew with him, she asked if he had spoken with Warren. He said yes, but it was personal discussion and he "didn't want to go into that right now." Just like when Warren cornered him after the debate about calling her a liar on national TV.

Sorry, but I've always thought that Bernie had the same "my way or the highway" attitude that Trump has. He needs to go home. And this time, get his minions to support Biden instead of the bullshit they pulled last time.

23. Welcome aboard the Biden Bandwagon

Your "Make America Gaffe Again" cap is in the mail. Wear it with pride.

[SunSeeker]

24. Welsome!

[JGug1]

25. Secretary of State Bernie?

You are mad. Bernie Sanders only slightly more qualified to be Sec of State than Trump is. Surely you have seen his temper tantrums.

[marble falls]

26. How about HHS?

[dreamland]

30. That would be a good one since he cares so much about M4A

They only problem with that is that is is a low profile position. I think BS craves attention.

[relayerbob]

27. Cool and thanks, except for SoS

Maybe interior, definitely not the right temperament for SoS

[ananda]

28. I just joined you!

Go Joe!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. How often have we heard the phrase.."Bernie doesn't work well with others"? He would be a....

disaster in a Biden administration. Let him serve out his term as the Junior Senator from VT, and quite frankly I don't much care what he does after that.
