The Dems are divided into two groups. Those who fought for Bernie and his ideas, 1/3rd, and those willing to go along with whatever centrist the DNC had as the flavor of the day, which now turns out to be Biden. I say this because I watched Bloomberg layout rather detailed plans of how to move forward, but when he didn't catch fire, the DNC backed off. Never seen any plans from Biden.
Now here is the challenge for the 2/3rds. How do you attract and encourage the 1/3 to become active supporters of a Biden campaign?
Do you do it by saying in advance that Biden will lose and it will be the fault of the Bernie Bros?
Do you do it by poo-pooing any of Bernie's ideas, especially Universal Health Care, especially when staring the greatest argument ever for it, Covid-19?
Do you do it by belittling them in any of a thousand different ways?
Or do you do it by offering to include substantial portions of Bernie's Platform in a new Fusion Platform?
"It's a voter's questions, I 'd really like to know...."
"Sitting here patiently, watching the wheels go round...."
"Sitting here patiently, watching the wheels go round...."
BTW, it's only 50:50 that Biden will be the nominee, for a variety of reasons.......
