Blame it on everyone but Bernie right? You know, the guy who just couldn't help himself double down on praising Fidel Castro as soon as he looked poised to win.

Bernie has no one to blame but his own hubris and general stupidity

SCOTUS picks is one the one reason I might end up voting Biden anyway. I don't think his actual policy will be much better than Trump but the Supreme Court should stay unfucked yeah

Why should anyone have given up on Warren before the primaries even began? Why does Bernie get to be the defacto Progressive Candidate?

You also have to remember that while, yes, the president has a big role in setting priorities, Congress is ultimately writing legislation, and the President is typically going to sign whatever their party passes if they have majorities. If Dems can win the Senate, both a President Sanders and a President Biden would both be signing that same mountain of bills Mitch McConnell has rotting on his desk.

It doesn't matter. All he had to say was "listen, the bad outweighed the good, obviously."

But he didn't. Because he's a stubborn old man who sucks at politics. He has no one else to blame.

I'd ask "have you seen Warren in the past few years?" but if you're asking this you probably don't share the same views anyway so it's pointless.

Considering he has essentially no support from the political apparatus at large, I think hes done ok.

Probably what happens when they close polling places lol

also yeah this is what happens when republicans run the government: they obstruct democracy

So to people upset that Biden vs Trump would be a contest of two evils, vote Biden and then let's dismantle the GOP and push all the moderate democrats into its husk because otherwise there will not be a second chance for a progressive candidate

Its funny you post this, because I was coming to share this:

With Bernie winning upwards of 80% of the Latino vote, voter obstruction probably helped Joe quite a lot in Texas today.

Even though ultimately I think a Biden Presidency leads to 4 years of compromise/nothing followed by a Trumpian-but-not-incompetent backlash in 2024, I would loooove to be wrong about Biden in the general because of the Supreme Court. I will GLADLY eat any amount of crow.

But I dont think I am.

And I think a lot of Dems are going to want to blame Progressives, but we told you in 2016, and were telling you now, so please remember.

This is such an empty statement. "Fall in line with bad decisions so the people who made them won't think less of you". The arguments about SCOTUS and signing the list of backlogged policy is meaningful and actually is making me think, don't try to reverse that by informing my petty side that I might annoy dumb people if I don't vote.

Guys, we're all missing one option for Biden's VP, and I'll just drop this here:

Additionally, neither the Constitution's eligibility provisions nor the Twenty-second Amendment's presidential term limit explicitly disqualify a twice-elected president from serving as vice president.
