This in itself is going to engender more paranoia and division, not less.
Biden for President and Sanders for VP and President of the Senate to help ensure healthcare and infrastructure are a priority for the Senate.
Trump ain’t flying COMMERCIAL anywhere.. period..
I bet he doesn’t even know what coach looks like..
How a moron who has never done ONE hard days work in his life is considered the hero of the yokels. I have no idea..

How a moron who has never done ONE hard days work in his life
Now I have been a voice for letting the primary process roll along, a believer in the debates, the candidates and the elections making our party stronger. In 2008 and in 2016 I argued for patience allowing both Hillary and Sanders to fight on, until they had their deal done at the convention. Now with today's results, Sanders should quit and endorse, not because his path to this nomination is closed or because he is costing the campaign some valuable resources fighting a primary , but because if he continues, he is, in effect, asking his voters to take a health risk and extend one to the other voters, for this negotiating position, without any substantive benefit, and that demands the Biden voters to do the same. We may not need to postpone these primaries ( there are other races to be decided) if this has the turnout of midterm election. We need to make the lines shrink, the distance between those poll booths greater, and keep the time frames for the balloting extended, and actually urge for staggered and a decreased turnout in the Presidential primary race. That means Sanders has to call it quits and endorse. That leaves the voters who care about the primaries in the Congressional races, and local races. That won't be a line at all.
Vote by mail is fantastic. I am an Oregonian, and I love it, but you can't just send ballots last minute to voters and elections staff who have never done it before except for absentee and assume the 'system' and training for doing this, will work itself in a month. You are asking for chaos and disruption. These voters are just not used to voting absentee, there aren't enough ballots printed, and these states have no experience with the kinds of questions that they will have to respond to, in huge numbers. Its going to be a clown car full of amateur hour melodrama. And all that melodrama give Trump a field day as every mistake, every ballot that did not get counted becomes 'evidence' for a pattern that DNC 'fix' is in, that they keep on selling everyone on.
Its time for Sanders to end this, not just for the usual unity argument, but because we need fewer voters in those lines, not more. If both the national political campaigns stop campaigning, the contamination risk is lessened because exposure is more limited. As important as his progressive message may be to his supporters, its not worth this.
Three cheers for a subpar turn-out at all the remaining primaries! If you have something better to do on vote day, Please do it instead!
I think that ship has BEEN sailed...
I just do not think the “it causes division, they are all the same and partisan politics “ arguments are relevant with the totally opposing versions of reality each side is selling..
For example...
A)
Either 97% of the world’s scientists are in a vast conspiracy to fake climate change , I guess to pass a carbon tax in America (I have no idea where the return on investment for those faking climate change is coming from later??)????
Or
The big oil companies are paying off 3% of scientists to pretend it is a hoax to save themselves billions in regulations..
B)
either every media source in the world , except for American conservative media is in a vast conspiracy to press some liberal agenda and or discredit conservatives...
Or
The other media sources are not the ones Lying and American Conservative media is the laughing stock of the rest of the world because it is usually propaganda scripted for dumb people. So smarter people see right through it....
C)
the Democrats are in a vast conspiracy to ban and confiscate the guns..
Or
No politician on either side has ever even proposed a ban and confiscation....
The only thing even proposed is that you would need a license to purchase any newly manufactured assault rifles. With the grandfather clause keeping those in circulation perfectly legal to buy sell or trade...
CONCLUSION!!!!!
I just do not see partisan politics and such being relevant when if there is a super secret leftist Illuminati running things, we need to address that first. Lol
If there is not a super secret leftist running things, then Fox News needs to stop lying so we can actually debate the issues proposed, instead of their laughable slippery slope propaganda..

Because each primary means long lines of voters standing next to each other for long periods of time unless you happen to be in a vote by mail state like Oregon, and that is inconsistent with all CDC recommendations concerning social distancing especially for sick or older voters, and because Sanders has virtually no capacity to win the nomination despite the vote in California, which means there is no plus side to encourage Biden and Sanders voters to lengthen those lines even more. I do really wish you would read the OP. Saves me the trouble of rewriting it over for the third time.Why not let the primaries run there course, Sanders I suspect will hang in there until CA primary, he would be stupid to walk away before then, and Bernie is far from stupid.
Give me a break.
If it is that "dangerous" to vote they should cancel the election altogether. Biden doesn't have enough delegates to clinch the nomination, therefore, Bernie Sanders has every right to continue on.
How about AOC for Housing and Urban development?
That would be worth it just to see Righties heads explode en mass.
