Wasn't it said earlier in the year that Bernie Sanders agreed to throw his support to Joe Biden in exchange for the Biden campaign adopting much of the Sanders's political platform? It sounded to me as if Biden repudiated Sanders's platform in the first debate. Am I just imagining that, or did you hear that too?

If Biden does repudiate the Sanders platform, will the Bernie Bros withhold their votes from Biden?

If I were Trump, I would push Biden repeatedly on this subject, to make Biden again and again repudiate Sanders's platform, whereby to alienate the substantial number of Bernie Bros and cause them to withhold their votes from Biden. I would also monitor Bernie's communication channels (twitter feed, Facebook page -- I'm not suggesting illegal spying) to make sure there isn't a message promulgated by Bernie to the effect: "Bros! Ignore what Joe says PUBLICALLY!!! That is just what he's gotta say to get elected! Joe has promised me that when elected he'll support our platform! Trust me on this!"

Of course, if there WERE​​​​​​ this kind of subterfuge, then Trump would want to exopose that to make the accusation that Biden is a Manchurian Candidate and will push hard core socialism once elected

Thoughts? Am I off the tracks and into the weeds?

Sometimes you have to cut A LOT of weeds to find the plug that's causing the swamp to back up. I listened to the 1st debate in my truck while at work, and I haven't laughed so hard in such a long time. EVERYTHING that Biden supports is PART of the Bernie plan or the green new deal. And he STILL lied aobut it on national TV.

Biden is a Manchurian candidate. NO doubt about it. Look who his running mate is. They BOTH let it slip in previous public appurtenances. When they said the HARRIS ticket.

I don't think the Bernie Bros are going to fully support Biden. They know very well that Biden is a placeholder candidate and that Biden picked a loser female primary candidate as his VP simply because she's female and claims to be black. If Biden really wanted to get the Bernie Bros on board, he would have picked Bernie as his running mate. The the Bernie Bros would know Bernie would end up in the drivers seat when Biden can't handle the job anymore. It would have made Biden a lot more competitive against Trump. A lot of people, especially in the black community, hate Harris. She has way more negatives than positives. Bernie, on the other hand, has way more people who like and support him and would have made the ticket competitive. If you think about it, Biden didn't want to get upstaged by his VP candidate like McSame was with Palin. Biden is a puncher but he's just not that smart. Neither is Harris. They'll both make a lot of stupid noise, confirm for many more people how dumb and corrupt they are and lose in November by at least 5-10 points. Trump will win, claim his mandate and then change our country even more in his 2nd term than his first. After that, Biden will be done as a future Presidential candidate and so will Harris. Bernie will be back though. I don't think he'll necessarily win in 2024 but he will be back. It's kind of funny though. Obama has punked Bernie twice since he got out of the White House and Obama will have very little clout left. Bernie will figure something out with Bill Clinton, shut out Hillary and ignore Obama. Like he should have done all along. I don't think Bernie will win but his Bros don't seem to be very good at strategy anyways. Bernie just wants a bigger private jet or another house or more cushy jobs for his family like Biden so Bernie isn't thinking strategically either, just about what he can get for him or his family. Eventually, more people will see that but Bernie will still be the biggest and best known candidate because the Dems don't seem to understand the farm team concept. The Republicans don't either but we have these wonderful stealth candidates like Trump that seem to show up at the right time.

There is zero enthusiasm among the far left for Biden.

There is however massive opposition to Trump from the far left, which may end up effectively being the same thing. We won't know until all the smoke settles sometime around Christmas...

Yes, I am predicting we will not know who the "winner" is until Christmas.

The "far left" is not a majority of the Dem party. Yes, they are currently driving the agenda but they are also creating a lot of incentive and support for the Walk Away movement.

True. But I still think the Bernie Bros are not going to fully support or vote for Biden. Can't say as I blame them.

Bernie had a rally for Biden yesterday, Almost no one showed up, a woman who had a Trump flag prevented him from speaking for several minutes.


Pretty hillarious
