Indivisible, the progressive group never keen on Biden, endorses the former VP

First on NBCNews.com: The apparent Democratic nominee is "Abraham Lincoln compared to Donald Trump."

WASHINGTON -- Indivisible, the influential progressive "resistance" group founded in the wake of President Donald Trump's election, plans to endorse Joe Biden on Monday, its founders told NBC News.

The former vice president was never the group's favored candidate to take on Trump, with a February survey of its members showing that just 6 percent picked Biden among the then-crowded Democratic presidential primary field, well behind Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

But the group's grassroots members and local chapter leaders voted overwhelmingly to support Biden, the apparent Democratic nominee, with Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin calling him "Abraham Lincoln compared to Donald Trump."

About 95 percent of Indivisible's members backed endorsing Biden.

The group, which includes dozens of independent local chapters, started the election cycle by getting its members and every major Democratic presidential candidate to sign a pledge vowing to support the eventual Democratic nominee and to work as hard as they can to defeat Trump.

Levin and his co-founder, Leah Greenberg, said they are making good on that pledge. And while it may take some work for Biden to get some Indivisible members excited about his candidacy, they said they are not seeing major defections from their members, who are first and foremost committed to ousting Trump.

But the group is sticking with Biden, thick or thin.

Of course. The far left knows that Biden will be the Chinese Communist Party’s most obedient servant.

Falling into lockstep.

We know to which drummer they listen, no matter how muffled or far away, and it is now obvious to all.

There was a certain mindset that fell all over themselves getting into step with the march being played by the Soviet Union sixty-five years ago, when Senator McCarthy was unmasking Communist operatives in the Department of the Army and the State Department.

“ Abraham Lincoln compared to Donald Trump.”

This is true.

As long as we’re comparing Post-Ford’s Theater Abe.

In that case, both Ol’ Abe and Biden are brain dead.

All the more reason their enthusiasm for Big Mike will seem more effective when BM is installed as the nominee. They know they have nothing to worry about, the communists are masters of coordination.

Right. Now Chinese communism has taken the place of the Soviet Union. The left especially likes that China has gotten more authoritarian and Maoist-like. They also love starvation centers like Venezuela, although mysteriously they never volunteer to live there.

LOL...like it would take “some work” to make Stacey Abrams attractive.
