Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries

(1,659 posts)14. You are 100% right.
We need to beat these invalid arguments with logic and reason. The constant attacks on Bernie, most of them anyway, did not make sense. This one for example--Bernie was against having the primary and the court ruled at the last minute about it. Moreover, there were other primaries and votes going on and Biden had said he wasn't against it--said they should mail in and do absentee voting.
What we needed weeks ago was to start coming together and now it's here and Unity is needed more than ever. Progressives deserve a seat at the table in the coalition to beat Trump. Joe Biden shares Bernie Sanders' values. The way he goes about it are slightly different sometimes but we are all on the same team.
If I were to vote in a presidential
