Bernie Sanders, belying a reputation among many Democrats as a loose cannon, is stepping up to persuade his skeptical followers to support Joe Biden for president.

Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy on Monday as he made a joint online appearance with the former vice president.Former Senate staffer accuses Joe Biden of sexual assault. His campaign says ‘it did not happen’Along the way, Sanders won some important concessions. Biden reached an agreement allowing Sanders to keep hundreds of delegates he otherwise would have lost, avoiding a messy convention fight.

One obstacle Sanders faces in getting supporters to transfer their loyalty to Biden: Many are infrequent or new voters who engaged in politics for the first time when they backed him, and idealists averse to half-a-loaf politics.A USA Today-Suffolk University poll in April found that 14% of Sanders supporters do not intend to vote for Biden; 8% are undecided. Three out of five — 61% — said they were not excited about voting for him.

Weaver was criticized by some Sanders supporters for forming a super PAC, a vehicle for raising money from big donors that Sanders has opposed.

hookjan He and his followers have disrespected HillaryClinton 4 over a year, they R still bad mouthing her! U can't trust Bernie

idc what bernie does i'm not voting for joe

alright

Crazy blind leading losing mind.

Let’s hope his followers have also come to understand the badness of Trump in a way they did not four years ago. berniesanders bernie joebiden

A really old socialist reaching out to a really old Alzheimers patient...how touching...but Trump gunna smoke Biden whomever he chooses.

Bernie is supporting a candidate that is as flawed as Clinton. That’s a shame because he really had the start of something. I’m still Trump but Crazy Bernie would have been tough to beat.

Comparing Joe to Hillary is both mean and uninformed.

Alright, thanks Bernie. Probably could have avoided all of this The first go around

Bernard Sanders gave a tepid, borderline nonexistent endorsement of Hillary in 2016. Maybe years of Donald Tr*mp has finally made him understand this isn't a fucking game.

A loose cannon still implies that it’s somewhat functional at least, unlike Joe Biden.

I’m skeptical still.

This tweet makes it sound like he barely did anything for Clinton in 2016.

Democrats should preserve their energy till 2024. Biden can't win 30% of Americans vote.

This is wrong, all of it.

Biden can not win against Trump no matter what Bernie does. The state parties and DNC are changing their rules to flip Bernie delegate votes to Biden, discovered first in Maine by two delegates who complained and have now been removed by the Sanders campaign...even this won’t hlp

See no evil, hear no evil

Rule of thumb: Beware of Old Socialist Politicians in Vans offering free stuff...

It’s was literally impossible for Hillary to lose.. and yet she somehow managed to do just that

OurRev305 NAUSEATING.

Respect for Bernie.

Nooooo Bernie DONT!

Tiens deux racistes qui n’ose pas se toucher...!

Well, I don't this this bright woman will be supporting Biden:

Do votes matter? Trump lost the peoples votes ... the Electoral College picked him against the people’s voice ... so, ya know

Bernie is not a fighter

Hillary didn't need any help.

It’s almost like Bernie was more likely to support the old white man than the likely first woman president. How progressive! Too little too late. Bernie gave us 4yrs of trump; there’s not enough campaigning in the world for him to change that deadly decision.

Yay more socialism ...

Blind leading the blind.

He invited Bernie and his ilk ? Fuck I just Trump win again Out of 330 million plus people here in the United States we are forced to pick between him and Trump

The people want freedom and democracy not socialism. So many paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. So many take for granted. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What are realities of drive thru voting?

Party of diversity

FTR - this is not edited - exactly as he said it. What's w/ the roaches?

Well there you go, one loose cannon teams up with another loose cannon.

Biden doesn't need Sanders help. He can lose on his own.

Thank you Bernie

White power. Old white power to be precise.

“Iconoclast”? No. Standing up and speaking out for the powerless makes him a defender of the dearest institution we have lately had: democracy.

It's gonna take a village

Progressives thought they'd overtaken the Democratic Party. Now they're in despair.An abrupt reversal of fortune has prompted introspection among many left-wing activists, who only three months ago were confident that the future of the Democratic Party was theirs Wonder why The Dems were to destroy themselves either way: 1) choose Sanders and destroy & rebuild themselves for the good; or 2) choose anyone else and destroy themselves for the bad. They chose option 2. oops mistake americanfailure Certain progressives will be heard...the ones who were part of the “unity”movement that promised to vote Dem, no matter who. The ones who threatened the Democratic party with their votes have yet to learn the fine art of compromise. They’re the ones screaming into a void.
