And yet he’ll still get blamed when Biden loses.
Worse still, he won’t be Canonized when Biden wins.
Poor Bernie. Damned if he do, damned if he don’t.
OK, let us take your first cite:
However, other examples cited by the Sanders camp show that Biden has in the past been willing in budget negotiations with Republicans to at least consider things such as raising the age of eligibility or recalculating cost-of-living increases for these programs for the elderly. That’s short of saying “we should cut Social Security,” as Sanders put it, … There’s a vast difference between willing to negotiate- and wanting to cut Social Security. and as the article goes on:*That’s not what Biden is proposing now. In his 2020 bid, Biden has proposed a plan that would increase revenue for Social Security by eliminating the payroll tax cap and expand benefits for some of the oldest seniors.
“There will be no compromise on cutting Medicare and Social Security, period. That’s a promise,” Biden said at the 2020 Iowa Brown & Black Presidential Forum on Jan. 20, according to VICE News.*
So your first cite states clearly that Biden never wanted to cut SocSec and currently does not now.
The second is a hit piece from a Sanders supporter.
However, Politifact made it clears that Sanders claim was "Mostly false. "
Trump and Putin thank you for keeping this nonexistent “fight” active after Bernie gave an extremely full-throated endorsement of Biden. Keep it up, comrade! Let’s see more, post after post, of Democrat-on-Democrat action, even after every candidate in the party has agreed to come together!
He started this thread in the Politics forum, but I see it’s been moved here to the Pit. So now I can accuse him in that thread of being a sock.
They would have walked through fire for him, but they won’t walk to the ballot box and vote for the candidate that Bernie has specifically asked them to vote for? My guess is the number of “Bernie or no one” voters is pretty small versus their outsized voice online. Not saying that Biden shouldn’t court them to a certain degree, bringing Bernie into the tent is clearly part of that, but if the view of these “many people” is that no one but Bernie deserves to win then I guess we may get 4 more years of Trump because the Republican base shows up, even if some of them hold their nose while they do it.

Agreed Steven, it’s better for economically comfortable Democrats to support a potential loser like Biden than allow Sanders to defeat Trump. They have more in common with Republicans and have nothing to lose, assuming they keep their jobs.
Believe that if you want. But then you have to explain why the economically disadvantaged minorities didn’t come out for Bernie. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
You really are a pathetic troll, aren’t you? I’m sure the African American voters in SC, AL and MS are exactly the economically comfortable Democrats that overwhelmingly supported Biden that you’re referring to.
Bernie lost, build a bridge and get over it. As a troll, you should be quite familiar with bridges.
I think that when **Manwich **thinks of non-economically-comfortable Democratic voters, he’s imagining the cast of Les Miserables.
Thinking of the people losing their health insurance with their jobs, you ghouls this is isn’t a joke for some people
That doesn’t change the fact that poor people in America are either nonwhite or Republican. There is no third option.
Sure, denial is part of the grieving process of loss. I get it. But this is well into obsessive territory now.
WTF? By brother would surely qualify as poor and white and is not Republican. Plenty of poor white Americans are Dems.
That’s Alessan explaining on behalf of Manwich.
All the way up through July, months after his chances of winning the nomination had gone to zero, he was running against her.
Yeah, the ‘tried’ part is bullshit. He succeeded.
Oh, fuck off. IF Bernie would have beaten the America-hating fuckstick, while Biden is doomed to defeat, it implies that Democrats recognize and accept our responsibility to the nation, and Bernie Bros don’t.
Huzzah!
Every poll showed Biden doing better vs trump than sanders.
