Some Bernie Sanders Supporters Say They’re Not Ready Yet to Back Joe Biden in the Fall

**SNIP**

Hardcore Hillary Clinton fans remain sore about the fact that a certain percentage of Sanders supporters didn’t back the Democratic nominee in the 2016 presidential election against Donald Trump. Some opted to go third party with Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. Some didn’t show up in November. And a certain percentage voted for Trump.

St. Petersburg resident Chuck Terzian is a major Sanders supporter who voted for Clinton in 2016. He says now he won’t be fooled again.

“I just won’t do it anymore,” he says of voting for the establishment favorite in Biden. “I won’t give power to people who are working against me.”

Terzian says he votes on the issues, not on personality. If Biden were to move on certain key issues, he says he could get behind the former vice-president. But he says that doesn’t appear likely.

“If I saw Joe Biden and the DNC adopting their platform with unwavering support for Medicare for all and the Green New Deal because those are the two issues involving the survival of the species and our survival as individuals,” he said. “If they were on my team on that? Then yeah, I’m an issues voter.”

The Republican Party must insist that the Green Party candidate take part in all debates this fall.

So tired of this "butt hurt" from the Democrats.

I disliked Barack Obama probably more than most Democrats dislike Trump today. But I didn't waste 8 years of my life being miserable and hateful. I got on with my life and stayed positive and upbeat all of those years. I did not let the fact that we had an incompetent boob sitting in the White House for eight years impact my own happiness and success.

They will quietly vote for the Dem nominee and insist they didn’t. This is just the standard blackmail attempt for powerless splinter groups after their party slaps them down.

It happens on the left and the right.

“I got on with my life and stayed positive and upbeat all of those years.”

Right. People who realize happiness starts and ends within don’t get completely discombobulated by a lousy politician in power.

People who demand the government be their military to make war on all their political opponents, fears, and perceived problems live a lifetime of problems and fear. They’re always upset emotionally, angry and noisy. And they tend to use a lot capital letters when they comment.

Um, perhaps 30% of about 7% or registered Democrats who make up about 32% of registered voters voted for Sleepy. That means only about 2/3 of 1% of registered voters voted for Sleepy.

While that sounds low, 0.00% of voters voted for Prince Andre of Cuomoo.
