Pretty sad to see people posting "jokes" about the likely candidate for the Democratic party in the US election.

And who is being served by those "jokes" and "memes"?

Yes, you bet, the opposition, lead by a despicable man, unqualified and unstable, widely perceived as a narcissist and worse by mental health professionals.

The "jokes" end up on some of the hash tags included in their posts, in company of assorted Twitter bot reposts here, all working for the same opposition team.

US pol is disgusting.

Don't be Played by these people.

@design_RG Biden isn't the nominee yet... and we can prevent him from becoming nominee. Trump will attack him ruthlessly in the general election, we can't let things get to that point by ignoring his weak points now.

@mewmew They will campaing in a dirty way indeed, it will be nasty.

Bidden doesn't have the nomination yet, correct, but what would happen if Bernie wins it? Another nastiness scenario, many people won't vote for him.

These preliminary salvos are already showing GOP people won't care about decency, just about damaging their opponents.

@design_RG so?

If we don't attack Biden, and Trump does, he will lose.

If you fairly compare Sanders and Biden, Sanders wins every time.

@mewmew

I really dont **want** trump to win, but...

Sanders is more likely to let Trump win than Biden.

Think About it. Sanders cant even win the popular vote int he primaries, Biden is beating him out right, and thats before the super delegates even voted.

If he cant even win a majority among the neo-liberals do you really think he stands a chance of winning a majority if you include conservatives int he voting base, hell no.

The truth is Trump is an extremist in the way he presents himself (though closer to moderate when it comes to his actual policies). Anyone who is already an extreme left neo-liberal is going to support the blue ticket regardless of who it is. The only people on the fence on where to vote are going to be undecided moderates/centrists. They are going to want to vote for someone closer to moderate. For Sanders vs Trump its a garunteed win for Trump.

With that said while Biden stands a much better chance of winning against Trump one glance at the tons of videos of him "groping" little kids on stage is all one needs to see to know Biden doesnt stand a chance either.

@design_RG

@freemo @design_RG We're not going to win the election by winning over conservatives. We tried that in 2016. We failed.

The anti-Trump vote will vote for whoever is against Trump, whether that be Bernie or Biden. The candidate doesn't matter for winning their vote.

Bernie energizes people much better than Biden does. Most people supporting Biden now mistakenly believe that he has the best chance against Trump, and that is the only reason why they support him. Bernie polls much better among independents than Biden does. He doesn't have weaknesses that Biden does like NAFTA that allowed Trump to get Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania in 2016.

So no, anyone who is far left is NOT going to support the blue ticket regardless - there's a big "Bernie or Bust" movement. There's next to no one who would pick Biden > Trump > Bernie - maybe if you swapped Biden for Bloomberg, but if they'd even consider Trump, they would not consider Biden - he's the opposite of what they want.

>the election

Is there just one election to win? Democrats won back the House by running moderates. Whoever becomes the presidential candidate is facing unlikely odds of winning. Which candidate do think will help those downstream races more?
