    he’s the worst dipshit that could be running here, sucking up all the support for the smallest permissible ‘better’, when you have enough bipartisan issues to get support from both the left and sane-right if you ran anyone else. biden is not defending democracy; he’s dangling it over a cliff with Donald trump at the bottom.

      Neirher West nor Stein would do anything different. In fact both of them want to give in to Putin and weaken democracy world wide. Who could do it better?

        anyone. else. literally anyone on my block, including many of the pets.

        and if ‘west’ and ‘stein’ wouldn’t do anything different than biden, they’re shit too. your whole argument is that the entire democratic party is worthless, that none of them have any virtue to counter trump, just the exact same calculated amount of vice less, the smallest amount so we can say they’re not quite the same, following them down the intellectual lacuna, using them as a wind break?

        that seems like a party I’m literally never going to vote for.

            would be better than either of these two.

              Those people are not running and Bernie is playing penny pincher with Ukraine aid which strengthens Putin which weakens democracy world wide. Since they are not running does that translate into not voting in this election?

                nobody else is running because biden’s hogging the stage.

                you know, I could handle a few bad policies from Sanders in return for stopping the world war Joe biden us so eagerly rushing towards and getting healthcare, maybe reinstating the epa.

                  Sanders would further a world war by pushing for peace with Putin while he is winning which means he gets what he wants and then will just treat this treaty like all the others…a break so he can build up for the next invasion. Ukraine has to be able to defend itself and push Putin back or this just all happens again in a few years and be even worse. God forbid he weakens NATO which just proliferates nuclear weapons by weakening the U.S. nuclear shield forcing European countries to get nukes themselves.
