"Democrats, you do NOT want to nominate Joe Biden"

commondreams.org is ran by communists.

Naturally, they hate Biden.
 
i'll be voting for the nominee. flush the orange turd.
 
Boy, that is some serious pro-Bernie stuff!

I feel that the only thing that will impact this election is if the Bernie supporters do what they did last time: Stay home.

They were a significant factor in getting Trump elected, all because their boy wasn't on the ticket. I wonder if they will do it again.

** Lies. **

They probably take Russian money too. Let's not forget that Bernie is Trump and Putin's favorite opponent! They have spent a year planning their campaign against him. That is yet another very good reason to not give Bernie the nomination.

They are a group of dedicated good people fighting to spread the truth outside corporate media, who take only read donations. Your character, on the other hand, the rules do not allow me to accurately describe.
 
I'd like to ask some of Bernie Sanders supporters here a few question. It appears that the majority of Bernie supporters are young adults that like the idea of forgiveness of college debt, free college, free healthcare, etc. In other words, 'free stuff'. So let me ask a couple of things.

First, Bernie Sanders said that he could guarantee full employment if, over 10 years, tens of millions of people lost their jobs to automation. He answered that the Green New Deal “will create up to 20 million jobs as we move away from fossil fuel.” Is there any more specifics on how Bernie Sanders will be able to accomplish creating tens of millions of new jobs?

Bernie has insisted that billionaires should literally 'not exist'. But Bernie became a millionaire by writing a book. Isn't that a double standard when men like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg have built businesses that made them billionaires and created jobs for hundreds of thousands of Americans?

Why does Bernie support phasing out nuclear power since it's energy that produces no carbon emissions?

Bernie Sanders supports federal government spending significantly more on social welfare for all people in the United States, but wouldn't that make Americans become more hostile to newcomers to this country?

It will cost 2.2 trillion dollars to pay for Bernie's 'free college' for all. Bernie suggests a 'modest' tax on Wall St. speculation (futures) Do we understand what that means and what happens to that money in times like this when the market goes into a recession?

I have many more questions about Bernie's manifesto that I cannot agree with and don't believe are logical or doable.

Sorry but the situation here is such that no organization is immune from unknowingly being used as pawns in Putin's game. It's sad but true. Many of our institutions have been infiltrated and compromised.

If Biden is uninspiring, then why should Democrats vote for him? Why aren't they voting for the inspiring candidate, the more skilled candidate, the smarter candidate, and the more qualified candidate -- Bernie Sanders?

Being an uninspiring candidate and a "safe" candidate does not mix very well. Hillary Clinton proved that.

Fake news.

If Sanders is a socialist why would any American vote for him?

Believe it or not many people don't like that he promises things he can't deliver and complements communist dictators too much. He also seems out of touch with reality and spends more of his time complaining about Democrats than Trump. That certainly is not the way to unite the opposition and beat Trump. Even if you want all those free things he touts you should know that. Biden will return us to sanity and pave the way for the reforms you desire. You do know they will only come if Democrats win elections and take control away from the Republicans. Don't let Bernie tell you otherwise.

Common Dreams is to the left of moderate and, like every other news site, shows it’s bias in how it reports. Certainly not a site I would place a lot of trust in.

Sanders has generally been a stand-up guy. Uncommon in politics, and I respect him for that. Respect isn’t enough to sway me to buy into his socialist agenda though.

I 've read Bernie's explanation of his plan and how to pay for it on his web site, I've also watched the tape replay of his FOX town hall broadcast. His numbers don't add up and they even have changed between the web site and how ht explained them on Monday evening. He also doesn't explain how he is going to get the insurance corps to go out of business, how he is going to get hospitals and doctors to work for less and how he is going to get pharmaceutical companies to accept such a low amount of money for its' products, ($200 per year). Nope Bernie's math is really bad.

Cut off nose to spite face. Worst logic.
 

While I agree on that point that Bernie's policies are better, but Their argument appears to hinge on this premise:

But, as voters in six states headed to the polls Tuesday, progressives and supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) argued that nominating the former vice president would be a massive risk for the Democratic Party, given Biden's voting record and current policy positions.

I am inclined to agree with Rick Wilson, who wrote right wing playbooks for and was the consultant to prior conservative presidents (who is a never trumper, so he's giving his advice to dems about how repubs operate), that it won't be about policy at all, policy will not matter in any way about who wins the election.

That Putin/Russia crap is so stale and stupid that it amazes me that people keep spouting it. TDS is real and so are Collusion Truthers.

Hillary didn’t lose because she was “safe” or uninspiring.

She lost, mostly, because she was overconfident. She believed she was to be “the chosen one” over Trump, who was the only presidential candidate in history to have a lower approval rating than her own.

Trump busted his ass, going to places Clinton felt weren’t worth her time. Many times more than once. Factually, Trump put in the work and Clinton didn’t.

Both my Governor and Senator had to return money because it was revealed to have come from Russian sources. This is way past simple denials.

Lawmakers unwittingly entangled in a campaign finance scandal have scrambled to get rid of contributions from two men at the center of the alleged wrongdoing, both of whom were back in court Wednesday.

Igor Fruman and and Lev Parnas pleaded not guilty to violating campaign finance laws when they appeared in federal court in New York for their arraignment. Fruman, Parnas and two other men were indicted earlier this month for “engaging in a scheme to funnel foreign money to candidates.” The indictment alleged the two men did so to “buy potential influence with the candidates, campaigns, and the candidates’ governments.”
While donations from Fruman and Parnas to the Trump campaign and an affiliated super PAC have grabbed headlines, Republican members of Congress were also drawn into the scandal, though they do not appear to have known that foreign contributions, which are prohibited by law, may have been involved. Prosecutors wrote the men “concealed the scheme from the candidates, campaigns, federal regulators, and the public.”
Current and former GOP lawmakers have worked to explain that they were not connected to the two men. They have also pledged to get rid of their contributions, though the mix of responses has raised questions about the process for handling tainted money

Bernie or Biden doesn't matter, both are terrible candidates. You democrats seem to forget Bernie is a Socialist with huge budget plans that involve changing America and making it a welfare state dependent on the government to pay for everything by taxing the people and controlling production, exchange and distribution of goods and services. Biden is a terrible candidate that you democrats had already written off as dead just a couple of weeks ago. The talking heads had declared him senile and a gaffe machine. What has changed? Nothing. Same Biden, Same Bernie but now there is no fallback Bloomberg. So all of a sudden Biden is now a good candidate? Or is he a set up for Hillary to find an in to the 2020 race.

Don't forget that Trump also had lots of help from Russia who's trolls targeted Bernie supporters who ended up making the difference in the 3 Blue State that Trump won by a total of 75,000 votes. It is not going to happen again so Trump is screwed. He is going to lose badly.
