F.ucks sake America.

You've done it yet again.

Tbh though Bernie is probably pulling out because the new president is gonna have a complete MESS to clean up after the Trump administration and poorly managed covid19 situation. Cleaning up that economical mess is gonna be impossible and whoever goes into the white house next is starting a losing battle. You know that if Bernie got in it would be impossible to fix, and he would get dragged to hell and back for not being good enough.

That being said, Biden won't be doing any good. You guys are screwed and I feel bad for you 

 

I hope Gaga is secretly giving Biden that good good so she can call him up in the middle of the night and influence all of his decisions directly. 

Apparently she only follows Bernie on twitter, and not Biden ....lol.

Bernie and Biden would both only be one term president imo because of their age...and it'd be impossible to completely clean up Trump's mess but people would at least give them a bit of a break because there's only so much they can do in 4 years...it's their VPs (well, Bidens) who would bear the brunt of the sh*t imo.

Policies

$15 minimum wage

Expunging the record for people who have pot convictions, and decriminalizing pot (progressives should push him from decriminalization to legalization)

Abolish the death penalty

SAFE ACT

Investing a lot of $$$$$ in HBCUS

Public Option, with an eventual goal of universal health care (no guarantee of single payer UH, tho)  (we need to push him hard on this, too)

Get back in the Iran deal (a major issue)

Agreed to adopt Warren's bankruptcy bill

There's a lot more...this is just a few off the top of my head.

Biden sucks, but people are justifiably frustrated when some say he's the same as Trump (who thinks climate change is a hoax & almost started a war with Iran among so many other horrific things). Trump is a literal fascist, and as terrible as Biden is he's not a fascist. As a progressive, it's also frustrating to see people go "well, I just won't vote" because that doesn't help us negotiate at all...instead, it just alienates a large bloc of Democratic voters we do need to win over to make a broader coalition. It's especially irritating because we could say "we'll vote if we live in a swing state, but we won't endorse/campaign/support/canvass/etc., and Joe needs all that help, unless we get some compromises on the table."

Congrats on being informed, most of the GP can’t relate.

Bernie is pulling out because he had no chance of winning. He said so himself. Bernie doesn’t have many friends in the Senate, but has always considered Biden to be one of them. 

We are screwed if Trump is President for four more years. We can reestablish some sense of normalcy if Biden is elected. We can protect the Supreme Court and stop the brutal assault on our Federal Courts. We can get back to Science based decisions, which are going to be of upmost importance in the next couple of years with the Coronavirus.
