Biden is obviously a straw man or red herring, and being put out in the market as chum bait. He'll be eaten alive by either another flanker who brokers a convention deal, or if he somehow comedically survives, by the President. The fascinating question is, who is managing the obvious sacrificial offering? Biden reminds me of Boris Yeltsin, who was inserted by the oligarchs as a degrading and demoralizing public distraction, while they proceeded to ravage the country. It's already working, based on the comments here.

something is wrong here. the polls showed that Bernie would win in multiple states by a wide margin. Did the democrat party elites rig the primaries elections today? Connecting the dots appears to prove interference. We can not let the establishment illegally interfere with democracy. If nothing else, Bernie needs to run as a third party candidate.

I won't vote for Biden. He's an empty suit. Guess I'll be staying home in November after all. I just can't bring myself to vote for the man. After hearing my progressive views get repeatedly dismissed as inferior to those with moderate views, I'm extremely disappointed in these results. I would have been happy with any other nominee.

With the political assassination of Bernie to prevent the US from becoming a Social Democracy, I am afraid my children are going to live in a dictatorship! Trump is going to win in a landslide! Clearly, Biden is an inept candidate who is intellectually incoherent and is only running on his having been Obama's token white conservative VP. As for his record, it would easily put him in the Trumpist camp. If you think I am exaggerating, being unfair, do your research; type Biden and busing, Biden and credit card companies, Biden and Iraq, Biden and trade agreements, Biden and Anita Hill! If you want to support the type of status quo/generate no change Dems like Biden that ignored the American middle class for decades and enjoyed Wall Street contributions, I am sorry to confirm that you will deserve a second Trump term!

The issue is not about who can beat Trump in November. It never was in 2016. If it is about who is better than Trump, the choice would be easy: all of the democratic candidates are better than Trump.

The issue is that few of them could bring the change that the American people need. Unfortunately real change is not something that democratic establishment could bring. The republicans are even less likely to do that...but at least, if we vote for a republican, we can get another choice for the democratic candidate we want in another 4 years.

This is why it is unlikely Sanders supporters would vote for Biden should Biden win the democratic nomination (though they might vote for Warren if given the choice). If they do vote for Biden, they would not have the change they want for at least another 8 years!

So it is not about Trump at all. It is about whether the democratic party could truly listen to the people. And if they fail, they will lose the general election regardless of who they are competing against, precisely because people still have hope in the democratic party to do the right thing next time.
