Good. This is exactly what needs to happen within the party. Vote blue, no matter who.
Well geez, it's about time. That's fine if the 'progressive' folks have their own particular agenda, just like 'moderates' and center lefts have theirs. But let's not forget who our real opponent is, and it ain't each other. 'Cuz if the Allies had been going at each other like this in WWII, we'd all probably be speaking German about now!

I bet you felt that way in 2016 also. People who hate Trump likely haven't changed. The question is, what has changed, if anything.

She is simply speaking the way many of us feel.

Good call, Trump is the existential threat.

Any other preference is secondary.

Yep, many conservatives and liberals agree. This is the reason the slogan sweeping the country this election year is:
Vote Blue No Matter Who.

That’s just blind tribalism. Nobody wins with a president Biden, except for the plutocracy.

Scary for T who won't be able to put wedge in democratic party/voters. He's good at dividing. If they give an inch on this one, T will run w/ it.

Completely understand. I am willing to give Sanders a chance. Not enthused about Biden but he will do over Trump.

No not really, no matter how many threads you spam your little slogan into.

And a lot of the spoiled millennial Sandersnistas will probably sit the general election out when there standard bearer gets knocked out.
