Biden Already Lost

A vote for Joseph R. Biden is a vote for Trump. That's the truth, and that's the message that should be front and center for the Sanders campaign from here on out. The American voters need to understand that Biden will lose because he's already lost.

Biden wasn't able to defeat Sanders, who's too nice for his own good in the primaries, so what on Earth makes you think he has even a glimmer of a chance Trump, a well known on-stage bully? Biden needed the help of the entire corporate apparatus of the Democratic party to draw even against Sanders in the primaries. He needed all other "centrists" to drop out, he needed Obama to put his mighty thumb on the scale to move the party elites to endorse him at the last possible moment, he needed the endorsements of Beto O'Rourke in Texas, Klobuchar's in Minnesota, and he needed Warren to split the progressive vote to win Massachusetts. The complete mobilization of the entire party establishment was barely enough to make Biden draw even with the Sanders grass-root campaign; on his own Biden had no chance at all. And he'll be on his own if and when he goes up against Trump.

Biden has zero plans to make life better for regular Americans, instead he runs on a message of a "return to decency", which is in effect a return to the circumstances that created the Trump phenomenon in the first place. This is why Trump will win, bar something extraordinary happening between now and November; the choice will be between the politics of Trump and the politics that gave us Trump, which will cause progressives to stay at home in the general elections. And the grand old rule is; if people don't vote, the Grand Old Party wins. What American voters need to understand is that the Democratic party knows all this. They did not want Biden as their nominee. I'll repeat that: they did NOT want Biden as their nominee. In fact they did EVERYTHING to get another centrist to run against Trump; first it was Kamala Harris, then Beto O'Rourke, when they dropped out they put their money on Buttigieg and Klobuchar, granting them tons of free air-time with ridiculous headlines like "Klobuchar finishes a strong third" instead of the sensible headline "Sanders WON!"

Biden was only their last-ditch effort to stop Sanders. Even Obama, who worked with Biden as his vice president for 8 years, cautioned Biden about running for president, saying: "You don't have to do this, Joe." OBAMA CAUTIONED BIDEN ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT: “YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS, JOE”. They NEVER believed Biden would have a chance against Trump, but they needed him to stop Bernie Sanders. They needed him to stop any chance for working people, middle class people and poor people to finally have a voice in this dead democracy. Another important thing to note is this: Bernie Sanders won the vote of the young voters everywhere in every constituency. These young voters are the future of the party, and this internal coupe sends a clear message to them: it's nice of you to play along in the elections, but it's not your turn, so keep quiet and let us grown-ups mess up your future a while longer... A Biden candidacy will most likely irreparably damage the Democratic party, will all but guarantee a second term for Trump and will cause the Democratic party to lose elections in the coming decades, as they'll have lost the trust from younger generations.

Biden already lost to Sanders and Sanders is the only candidate who will be enough of a contrast to Trump to have a chance at winning the general elections. If the Democratic party REALLY believed all that nonsense about "party-unity", they'd coalesce behind Sanders. But that's not what they believe; they believe in selfishly protecting their own positions of power and their own income. In the 1970s, when Sanders was still losing local elections, he proposed that state representatives should earn the state's median income, making real the "of the people, by the people, for the people" part of the 1863 Gettysburg Address. This is not something you have to agree with, Bernie himself now knows this is an unsustainable proposal, but it tells you something about the man's moral core; he truly is the only candidate out there who's not in it for himself, he's in it for you.
