I don't care much for Joe Biden. He's a bit of a snake, and is in the pockets of big business. But the Supreme Court is too important to just let Trump have it. Donald Trump already has chosen two lifetime appointments to the supreme court. He could get up to three more, meaning that a simple majority will have been nominated by Donald Trump alone. If you care anything at all for LGBT Rights or Women's Rights, you cannot be Bernie Or Bust. Because another 4 years of Donald Trump will put those rights in serious danger. The court will be in Trump's hands long after his term, and even long after he's dead. Then you have other members of his administration who will put policies in place that effect real lives. Those are lives that we can't just play with and say "Well if it's not my candidate, I'm taking my ball and going home."
Does it suck that Joe Biden is the candidate? Absolutely.
Would I prefer Bernie Sanders? Most definitely.
But if we're to have any progress, we have to shut down the Republican Party. We can't just turn our backs on people because the establishment has decided it will have its way. Change the establishment from the inside out. Vote progressives into office other than President. But DO vote for President because in the end it'll make the transition much easier once we finally get a progressive President in place. (Most likely Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). Today's progressive ideas will seem less progressive and more mainstream. the best way to do that is to get involved in local races and make sure progressive politicians are in place to replace the establishment in smaller races.
President Biden will be infinitely preferable to President Trump. Even if President Sanders is infinitely preferable to President Biden.
