Bernie Sanders says Biden will be the Democratic nominee: Time to stop 'bickering and nit-picking'
He also blasted Democrats who have questioned Biden’s mental fitness and whether he’s strong enough to beat Trump again, accusing them of joining a “circular firing squad.”
So far, 18 Democratic lawmakers have called on Biden to step aside as the party’s presidential nominee.
Sanders’ written remarks acknowledged that Biden, 81, “may not be the ideal candidate,” but added that “he will be the candidate and should be the candidate.”

I do too. The Republicans wouldn't bash their candidate. At least not out loud.

Bernie is(as always) pretty sensible. But the Democratic leadership will ignore sensibility, shoot themselves in the foot and hand the presidency to the Republicans. <sigh>

I'm a life long Democrat. I've never, ever heard a Republican bash their candidate. They might be thinking she/he isn't the best choice, but they wouldn't say it out loud like Democrats do. Come on people. Open your eyes and take a look at what is right in front of you. The choice is ours. If we are too lazy or too busy we will be handing the job of president to trump. Do you really want that? Are you okay with that? The choice is ours. Like the old saying goes, "not to decide is to decide" that you really don't care. Tnthomas, I'm afraid I have to agree with you about that.  Maybe they are all really Republicans. |

I've been concerned that the nit pickers are literally handing the election to frump - a disaster in the making. He'll turn this country into putinmville! This is a man with no morals, no integrity and a lust for power and an overwhelming desire for adulation.

I'm a life long Democrat. I've never, ever heard a Republican bash their candidate The following are two observations I've made, in my 50+ years of political study:
When Democrats fall from grace(IE, do criminal stuff) the Democratic establishment GETS RID of them fast...they are done!
When a Republican is discovered to be a crook, the Republican establishment circles the wagons, rallies to his/her support, and throws up a smokescreen of lies and deception.

That is so damn true. Sad, but true. Admit nothing and all will be well. Until it isn't. By then you can blame others and all is still well.

If Biden remains the candidate, Harris and other Dem leaders need to get front and center. They need to shout the Trump story from the mountaintops. Biden's record is amazing. In his decades of public service, he has become a phenom at negotiation. Negotiation is not battling. Today, to motivate the masses to vote BLUE in November requires going to battle!! Get on these biased media programs and don't let them get away with pushing the MAGA lies.
I love the POTUS and Dr. Jill Biden. Awesome people! I just don't know they have the ability to push, shove and speak with the sharp truths needed.
If Biden does drop out, will the voters elect a black female? Would they even elect a female? Look at 2016. Who else. The word is it's Harris, Newsome or Shapiro. Too little time. Bull up! Motivate, don't placate.

More and more Democrats are dragging the Biden ticket Down, In hopes to get, their pick as candidate, and Biden is being a Stubborn old guy. This does not look to end well 
It appears some People believe, trump will, magical make the pandemic, not have happened, prices to go back to before, all wars will stop, globe warming will go away, and he will lie and lie, saying, he can do it, fast  Sometimes hope is not a good thing |

Methinks that the numerous Democrats presently undermining Biden had better get their heads out of their 'nether regions' quickly and unite behind their admirable POTUS before it's too late to save the country from the reprehensible Republicans and their Evil cult leader.

Democrats presently undermining Biden had better get their heads out of their 'nether regions' quickly and I keep hoping there is a "method-to-the-madness" and that they have some very sophisticated strategy that will result in a unified party, at the conclusion of the Democratic convention. The operant word is "hope", the reality is probably more like "short-sighted and in complete disarray". |

The operant word is "hope", the reality is probably more like "short-sighted and in complete disarray". It is a scary time for Americans who believe in Democracy, and who want the rule of law applied justly and equally to all. Danger lurks around every corner with the would-be Autocrats waiting to pounce at every chance. Hoping is good, and Voting is even better. This Canadian is watching, and hoping that the USA gets back to where it belongs - in the hands of leaders of integrity who have the wellbeing of the citizens of the nation at the top of their priority list. |
