(16,984 posts)...was that voters need to be ready to show up every election and keep working for the things they want and not buy a one-way ticket to Hissyville when getting what they want proves more difficult than they'd planned for. If civil rights leaders with physical and emotional scars can spend decades and fighting and refighting the battles, it's not too much to ask for people to look at the big picture and do one or two things to help.

(46,051 posts)If it's "Biden wasn't my guy, but I totally support him against Trump," I don't have any problem with that.

(16,954 posts)same divisive accusations. Whats weird is that I never got involved with primaries that much because I can easily find things to like about a Democrat. That changed 5 years ago with all the nasty lies I heard about my party.

From dwelling over Bernies loss in a primary he was widely favored to win at the start of the year.

(43,392 posts)Biden is the only option I see.

(42,862 posts)It's difficult to tell if people are "hanging on" to the Undecided label in order to make a statement of disapproval, or if they simply don't realize that they can still update their choice and show their support of our party's candidate. Is it not caring? Is it just not knowing? Or is it defiance? I kinda suspect that it's not an even distribution of those three possibilities. More likely one of those possibilities would take up at least half of the pie-chart.

(14,532 posts)During the Primary I vote for who I want to see in the GE. If my chosen candidate doesn't win, I happily vote for the one who does. Full stop.
My top 2 picks dropped out before my primary, I happily voted for Biden. Now I get to again.
Way to go, Joe!

(9,655 posts)we have a binary system, so of course now I will vote for biden in the general
but the tone this guy uses probably drives more people away than it convinces
