A 'Never Biden' movement vows not to vote for Joe
politico.com ^

Posted on 03/13/2020 6:03:05 AM PDT by Conserv

On Tuesday night, Joe Biden's campaign was celebrating his latest primary night triumph.

By Wednesday morning, #NeverBiden, #WriteinBernie and #DemExit2020 hashtags began trending on Twitter.

The significance of the problem became apparent in the same string of primaries that put Biden on the cusp of the nomination.

In Michigan — a state critical to Democrats’ efforts to reclaim their general election footing in the Rust Belt — just 2 of 5 Sanders backers said they would vote Democratic in November, regardless of who became the nominee, according to exit polls. Four in five said they'd be dissatisfied with Biden as the Democratic standard-bearer.

Though it's unclear how widespread or adamant the #NeverBiden contingent is — will they really stay home when the alternative is another four years of President Donald Trump? — the misgivings at least put the Biden campaign on notice that it has significant work to do to bring along Sanders' base.

There is certainly anecdotal evidence that for many progressives, Biden represents everything they dislike about mainstream Democratic politics. On “The Young Turks,” which draws millions of viewers, Krystal Ball, the former MSNBC host, said she couldn’t vote for Trump.

“But you can leave it blank,” she said, referring to the November ballot.

Ball said she is an "undecided voter" because "if they always can say, 'Look, you've got to vote for us no matter what, you've got no other choice,' then they're always going to treat us like this."

The key is who will be his VP.

People will vote for that person instead.

Crazy dynamic.

They are in monster caca & know it.

No veep will save him.

Remember 2008 when the string of lackluster pubbie candidates fell away one by one, eventually leaving us with the dregs - John McCain? I imagine that's how dhimmi voters are feeling right about now...

Why wait for November to vote? Folks you can vote for POTUS, Donald J. Trump come next Tuesday, March 17th, 2020 on POTUS Primary election day in Florida, Ohio & Illinois. If all you Trumpies get out and vote for Trump next week he can beat out both Biden and Sanders....Do it, Do it, Do it!!!

Trump has already bested the brain dead, Biden in eight primary elections thus far. Add...Florida, Ohio & Illinois to those victories!!!

Doesn’t that depend on just who the DNC wants as President. Old Joe won’t last so the VP becomes the important person.

Yeah, I think there will be way more Never Bidens than Never Trumpers.

Never Trumpers peaked in 2016.

Yes, and s/he will be the target of GOP negative ads, too. A twofer way of slamming the Democrat ticket.

I think when he gets full exposure, Americans will be horrified.
