"Defeating Trump is more important than all of us"

[Rev. Rye]

If Biden takes office, it isn't really solving the problem of money in politics, or healthcare. It's just kicking the can down the road. Vote blue, no matter who, is the defeatist attitude that's left the dem party being a center right party, and us having no left party.

Obviously some people disagree with me, but I just feel like there's only one right choice to make, and it's not Dementia Joe.

Of course it's just kicking the can down the road. Given the choice between actually trying to solve these issues and kicking it down the road, the choice is clear.

The problem is there's a very good chance that that won't be the choice we have to make in November. If the choice is just kicking the can down the road and adamantly opposing any attempts to move the can an inch because it's all a power play to them, just kicking the can is clearly the lesser evil.

You can argue Biden can't win because he doesn't have that much charisma and has even more baggage than Hilary. I think you'd have a point there. But like it or not, if Bernie doesn't get the nomination, Biden would be the only person keeping us from four more years of Trump. You may also say that Biden's administration would just be a watered-down version of the Obama administration that's destined to end up as more of a wash than that. That's also very likely. You would have to be a fool to expect that it could possibly be any worse than what Trump is doing.

Look, next week, the Illinois primary's going to come up and I fully intend to vote for him, and I really hope I get a chance to vote for him a third time in November (first time was in 2016). If that doesn't happen, I know what the stakes are. I know Biden's woefully inadequate, but sticking to my guns and insisting on the candidate who lost would be the worst possible thing to do at that point. Sticking to your guns when you don't have any bullet and your opponents are fully loaded can only end so well:
