Bernie has an incredible following, Biden said. Hes maybe one of a half dozen people in American history who may not be the nominee but has had an impact on American politics in a significant way, in a positive way."
"If I'm the nominee I can tell you one thing I would very much want Bernie Sanders to be part of the journey. Not as a vice presidential nominee, but just in engaging in all the things that he's worked so hard to do, many of which I agree with."

Make no mistake. Russian trolls are online trying to cause division in the Democratic Party! They want division and to push Bernie supporters away from Biden and so they will attack both sides and cause a schism. They want Trump to win.
Biden, on the other hand, understands that some few anecdotes and invalid stories (like Bernie was responsible for the Iowa app failure or Bernie supporters hate John Lewis) are completely ridiculous. He sees the value of recognizing Bernie as a positive force and committing to do something with progressives that is positive.
Biden understands that he needs a broad coalition of independents, moderates and progressives--which include Bernie's supporters. He understands that the numbers are so much in his favor that negative attacks only serve to push Bernie supporters away at this point.
Biden has policies that are a 1000 times better than Trump's. Vice President Joe Biden understands primary politics right now and how to proceed in a constructive, positive way.

Posting nonsense like "what happens if Biden dies?" is not promoting unity.

Any time you want to post something unconvincing, I am all ears. Because I read responses usually.

Sanders needs to implore his supporters not to pull a 2016, and give us trump for 4 more years.
