Opinion | Bernie Sanders: Joe Biden for President
www.nytimes.com
Enough! It’s time for Democrats to stop the bickering and nit-picking.

I hate that this is the debate we’re having now

I also hate that I’m feeding into the NYT’s lazy and transparent attempt to undo their previous partisanship with new opposite partisanship like those two things cancel out and add up to journalism

But what the hell, if that’s where we’re at, this is a relevant data point about the landscape

    that doesn’t have much precedent to rely on,

    Oh we do have enough precedent: Donald Trump as a president.

    I’ll vote for a potato if it’s our only choice to keep that deplorable from stepping into the WH again.

      I meant about dropping the presumptive nominee last minute when there wasn’t a real primary to have a 2nd place with momentum to fallback on

        I know what you meant. My point is that we don’t need to have a precedent for a scenario that will clearly fail. I don’t like Biden. I’d prefer Bernie. But at this point, if he drops the race (which he won’t), Trump will win. And screw that.
