[Closed] Bernie Sanders

I've been really impressed with how Bernie is handling the coronavirus situation. I watched his fireside chat and part of his virtual roundtable and he's really making an effort to communicate with everyone and propose solutions right now. All of his energy is going toward trying to help and I find it comforting in these scary times that he's doing his best to look out for all of us, since lord knows the Orange One isn't. 

His campaign has recently raised over 2 million for Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, One Fair Wage Emergency Fund, and the National Domestic Workers Alliance. 

I have to ask, where is Biden right now? It feels like he's MIA lately. 

Bernie is the REAL deal. I wanted Bernie over Biden, but will vote for Uncle Joe. I would feel a bit better if Uncle Joe picked Elizabeth Warren as VP since I truly believe he's only doing this because the establishment (who hates Bernie and will do anything to stop him being POTUS) begged Joe to run.

Joe is uniting, and we need that, but I can't help but wonder how the landscape will still look in November anyway.

@triciact, I think November is all up in the air at this point.  That explains some of the confusing messages we were getting when we looked at the election.

All I care about right now is that we get that lunatic out of the WH -- preferably immediately.

@deetoo

Yes I agree. When they "get a handle" on this virus I think that every senator and congressperson  should be prompted to request T's resignation on his MIShandling of the virus.

@hazyjane

The media isn't airing his briefings, which plays very well into the MIA narrative. But he'll be on the view tomorrow. :)

He is 77 and Sanders is 78. I hope they are both taking all necessary precautions to stay well.

He dropped out of the race

I saw that. I'm absolutely gutted, but he's right, the movement doesn't end. We always knew it needed to be from the ground up, not the top down. Still a sad day for many of us.

I am now petrified. Joe Biden is likely to lose in November. And i have to seriously wonder if my marriage is worth this country. I need some hope. 

It will be very important who Joe Biden picks a VP now.... especially now.

@Natalie - I'm right there with you.

If you can, watch "The Plot Against America" on HBO with your spouse. It's really helped my husband see the light, now he wants to hear all about my conversation with an attorney in Vancouver in 2018.

Bottom line - get a job or a slot in grad school and go - automatic legal residency. Don't you have family in Ontario? I'd go. Your spouse will follow.

Use the Capt. Von Trapp line from Sound of Music:  "We are standing at the open grave of [the US], we must go or we'll be buried with it."
