I don’t think it was obnoxious. Lord knows, anyone who does stay away from Twitter, like, forever.
Well, a heads up: it was obnoxious. Doesn’t matter that you are used to it.
But you know, toodles and all that.
You’re helping Trump. It’s your vote, and you’re absolutely allowed to do what you want with it. But, you’re using it to help Trump, so you don’t get to dictate how those of us who would rather Trump not win respond to that fact.
Congratulations, you’ve won. I am a Bernie Bro, and I still intend to vote for Bernie in the Pennsylvania primary in June if he’s still on the ballot as a symbolic protest vote, but in November I will bend the knee toward Joe Biden. With gritted teeth, I will reluctantly vote for the neoliberal centrist who won’t change a goddamn thing, because he’s the lesser of two evils. Bask in your victory. You’ve earned it.
Yeah, get rid of Trump, but otherwise, keep things pretty much as they are. We don’t need any serious change in this country, amirite? :rolleyes:
No wonder you were such a Buttigieg fanboy: a nice smiling face on the Plutocracy Protection Plan.
Thank you for your rational and adult approach to the November election.
He will change one thing. Arguably the most important thing. He’ll send Trump packing.
The only things he’ll be able to change will be the same things that any other candidate, including your beloved Bernie, would be able to change. His first four years (and possibly the second term, if there is one) will be spent unraveling the shit show that Trump leaves behind, repairing all the damage that has been done to our country. Bernie would be unable to do any differently, and it’s naive to think so.
It won’t silence the twitter demons in his head.
cue dalej42’s 1000 yard stare interspersed with BernieBro tweets set to a discordant classical violin crescendo
Let’s get back to normal and then figure out how much serious change might be needed (and possible)
I’m glad Sanders quit, because maybe we’re on the downhill slope of almost every thread on Dem politics on the SDMB being co-opted and derailed by rabid Bernie-haters.
We’ll now be free from non-stop anti-Bernie shit. Thank. Fucking. God.
Exactly so. Why does anyone think that (in the next 4 years anyway) any Democratic candidate is going to get much more done than restore the federal government to a working system? So much time is going to be taking up with basically rebuilding federal agencies from the ground up.
Restoring the federal government to a working system would require huge changes. I’m sure that Biden would stop things from getting any worse, but we need more than that. We need to fix the damage that’s already done.
Think you have some serious confirmation bias going. There’s 2-3 dopers that have a hate on for Sanders but they don’t remotely hijack almost every thread.
Any nominee is going to have fill vacant positions that have sat there for years, hindering the mission of tons of federal agencies (the EPA is almost nonfunctional at this point). This sort of thing isn’t flashy or even require ‘huge changes’ - it requires meticulous attention to detail. It’s something a Warren or Biden would be very good at. It’s not about stopping things from getting worse but to even get it back to an Obama level of functionality is going to require 3-4 years of work itself.
One of the most painful things I’ve heard from Biden from a left perspective is that he would veto a Medicare-for-all bill even if Congress passed it, and it arrived at his desk. 
Good point. People need to vote for Democratic for every office in every race in every community. No exceptions. no compromise.
Yes, that includes you Bijou Drains.
I guess I have the confirmation bias going on too. Since 4 or 5 days after super Tuesday, I’ve been reading the Elections forum less and less. The constant gloating and having my nose rubbed over and over in the fact that Bernie lost by the Bernie haters just stopped being fun for me.
Well, I don’t have a serious dog in the fight but the griping after Super Tuesday wasn’t entirely from hardcore Bernie haters. He should have fucking closed the campaign right then. It was hopeless and we’re in the middle of a pandemic. What did holding out until today do?
I’m starting to think you’re a Trump supporter because your posts seemed to be designed to do only one thing. Get anyone who supported Bernie to not vote, vote 3rd party, or even vote for Trump.
Unfortunately for you it’s not going to work on me, because I still hate Trump more and will be voting for Joe.
Note that even if Bernie won, the President cant change the system unilaterally.
Many of Bernie’s idealistic ideas would never pass Congress.
A “wealth tax” would have no chance of being passed.
