What are you talking about, as John Oliver would say-lol?

First of all, Bernie is no longer a factor, so why even bother? You sound like the right wingers who can't quit banging on Hilary.

Second, it doesn't matter who we dems get in. We just need to get our people in power. And we won't get medicare for all with Biden either as he doesn't believe in it. At least with Bernie we would have a chance as he would fight for it.

And you seem hung up on this 60 votes. Biden won't get any more than Bernie would and probably less as he wont fight the Republicans. He is a go along to get along. We will get what we have the power to get and that means Democratic power.

If we win the presidency and both houses of congress we can rain hell on the Republicans and mitigate all their bullshit.

Look what the did pubs did to Obama? He reached out to them for 8 years and all they did was pissed on him. They will do the same to Biden.

Power is what is important. If we get the presidency then we have power and in politics power is the currency of exchange and we can get the programs we want by horse trading with the Republicans. And the less power they have the less they will get and the more we will get..

"You said:'dems will block it'"
