If Bernie didn’t do that it would have been a guarantee that Trump won. The DNC wasn’t going to run anyone else so that was the only thing he could do. I’m not saying I’d do it myself, personally, but I understand the position he found himself in.
The “DNC” doesn’t run anyone, they support the Democratic candidate once chosen.
I respect Bernie. It’s his right to run. When he’s lost, he’s always accepted it and endorsed the Democrat. He never claimed he was cheated or that the elections were rigged. He has integrity and understand that gradual improvement is better than straight regression.
Wish I could say the same for a chunk of his supporters though.
Of course not. I voted for Harris without the slightest hesitation.
Bernie was trying to win an election. That means attacking your opponent. Including exaggerations and using buzzwords like “billionaire”. It happens every time in primaries, Republican and Democrat.
That’s funny, he also endorsed her candidacy.

As usual, nuance/context is a thing.

Reminds me of the people saying that if he didn’t let the DNC rig the primary against him in 2016 then Trump would have won.
Good thing that decision resulted in Trump not winning, right?
Trump beating Clinton doesn’t mean Sanders would have won. What a baseless argument.
And nothing was “rigged”. Stop being blue MAGA.

Brother trump did win and bernie is a dnc stooge
Nuance and context are completely absent
“guarantee that Trump won”
Words mean things. It was not guaranteed that Trump was going to win when he endorsed Harris.
I think he’s talking about 2016
Considering Bernie was more popular than Clinton, it was more likely Trump would win after he quit
Yea, reading comprehension is hard, eh?
Bernie’s not a stooge. He wanted the better side to win, even if it wasn’t him at the helm.
Huh, it’s almost as if he understands compromise/tactics/political game theory instead of being a hopeless idealogue. Imagine that.
Yeah, IMAGINE THAT, 10 million people who voted for Biden and not Harris.
It was that or trump lmao.
A bunch of his supporters seem to have wanted Trump then.
The fuck else were his options?
I don’t know, let’s ask all his idiot fanboys that refused to vote.
No, I’m asking you. What do you feel were his other options?
Of course not. I voted for Harris without the slightest hesitation.

You didn’t answer the question.
