Do What You Have to Do. [View all]

Last edited Sat Mar 7, 2020, 05:35 PM - Edit history (1)

I was on Daily Kos a few minutes ago and saw this description of Biden from a Bernie supporter:

Biden voted for the Iraq War due to falling for conspiracy theories about “weapons of mass destruction.” His son was involved in questionable dealings with a foreign government, capitalizing on his Dad’s name. His brother had a very questionable land deal with a lobbyist. The Obama/Biden administration did the bidding of special interest groups (remember the Yellowstone wolves and Obama’s rancher secretary of state?). Biden can't get through the first sentence of the Constitution without flubbing it.


My husband is also a Bernie supporter and goes on and on about how Biden and Trump are the same.

So, how many of you are supporting Biden because you want to vs. supporting Biden because you have to? Or still supporting Bernie?
