Biden and Bernie should meet soon

Bernie could get an assurance from Biden that certain aspects of his vision will be part of Biden's agenda and that the VP will be a progressive. In turn, Bernie could drop and endorse Joe.

Why not?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

2. Do you really think that attitude helps?

Ever think that a lot of Sanders supporters are the "bros" you want to keep making us?

I mean, seriously. People just keep shitting on Sanders supporters and then wonder why they don't just jump on the bus with open arms.

8. It's a two-way street.

The behavior of some of Sanders' supporters at the 2016 convention and since then, both on-line and in-person, is what provokes negative reactions from others. Maybe Bernie and his campaign staff could try to stop shitting on the Democratic party and its candidates.

9. A Sanders supporter told me last week to live in the real world.

Face reality.

Bernie is the one who needs to be conciliatory not Joe.

Sanders declared a war on the Democratic Establishment. Bernie should be waving the white flag.

5. There is no talking to them.

Plus, I'm sorry, losing elections has consequences. Not all of the party are 100 percent behind the policies BS is putting out there. Personally I am more than sick of having to "be nice to Bernie and his supporters" when they have no respect for me or my party.

6. Too early and too close right now

BS will be rather looking for a talk with Warren.
But what they should do is keep the attacks against each other at a low level.

10. I had a dream...

In my dream, Biden and Bernie got together in a quiet corner in a restaurant. They talked about how their campaigns were going and about some of the reservations they were beginning to have. One concern Bernie had was about his health. He didn’t want to let his supporters down but what good would he be to them, if he had another cardiac emergency at a crucial time?
Biden was worried that some of the decisions he had made in the past would become a much bigger liability after he became the nominee. And they both agreed that each of them had come to represent the opposite ends of the Democratic political spectrum and this could create a real problem going into the general election.
In the end, they both agreed to pull out of the race.
Well, I can dream can't I. That may be all that is left.
