Sad news but understandable. Thank you for all the hard work and the influence you brought into the US Political arena, Bernie. Progressives all owe you for advancing the agenda.

Today I am suspending my campaign. But while the campaign ends, the struggle for justice continues on. pscp.tv/w/cVyXkDMyNzU3OTl8MW1y

@freemo I'm not a Sanders supporter, but I thought he was absolutely necessary as one of the few democrats who call out their own leadership. Unfortunately he stopped doing that, so meh good riddance. But not so good riddance to the party (i'm not a democrat, republican, independent, or anything). Now Trump will win, and establishment Democrats will blame their loss on Bernie supporters (again) instead of themselves, like I said would happen over a year ago. The truth is, the democrat elites would rather have Trump than Bernie, no matter what they say publicaly. Again, I'm not a Sanders, Biden, nor Trump supporter @design_RG

There's a good chance the Orange Man might be defeated by the pandemic impact, both in health and economic terms.

We will have to wait and see, things are happening day by day and seem to happen slowly now.

@freemo

@design_RG He's actually handled the pandemic exponentially more than I thought possible from him. His approval rating continues to climb. @freemo

@obi

Yup exactly... the problem is I think @design_RG gets a lot of his view of the world from left-leaning media (most of the media he shares is explicitly biased to the left). So I think he is just getting a very distorted image.

Thing is, its an intentional tactic of the left in an attempt to win through distorting the reality (the right does it too, but in this case not really needed since the left is digging their own grave). the end result is the same thing we saw last election, they are convinced up and down trump is going to loose, and he wins anyway. Partly because fewer on the left are going to vote when they think they are a "sure thing".

So if anything with the left trying to paint this false narrative of Trump screwing up his response all they are doing is making themselves look bad for those who do their own research, and ensuring they lose votes due to complacency for those who buy the party line at face value.

@freemo

Yes, I do follow media channels that I have affinity for, and don't think they are distorting reality -- like the other side does or tries to do in a daily basis.

I am always surprised by your evaluation of his handling of this situation.

@design_RG So like he asked, what could trump have done differently.?@freemo
