Joe Biden is now the nominee in all respects but official pronouncement …
The Democratic Party needs to come together behind Joe Biden ….
The civil war should be over with the party …
That does NOT mean that Sanders views should be completely thrown aside…
The goal is to defeat Donald Trump and advance as many Democrats in Congress and across the states to bring back the American economy and the health of Americans…
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, paving the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 nomination.
Sanders was unable to build on his early momentum in the race after wins in New Hampshire and Nevada as well as virtual tie in Iowa, going on to lose a string of states to Biden after the former vice president consolidated the support of moderate Democrats.
The departure marks Sanders’s second failed attempt at the Democratic nomination after he came up short in his 2016 challenge against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The 2016 campaign did, however, vault Sanders to household name status after he cobbled together a loyal base of support from largely young voters who grew enamored with his progressive policies and efforts to push the party further left.
Though moderates accused Sanders of dividing the party — and weakening Clinton — by not dropping out sooner in 2016, he earned plaudits from liberals over his ability to push her to adopt policies such as a $15 minimum wage and making four-year public colleges and universities debt-free, among others….

Sanders post is HERE….
just saw this pop across the news…a lot of time now to heal rifts and get these folks on board to support Biden in the general…Classy move by Bernie…
Yup….
Sanders using much more unifying language than he did in 2016.
We are united to defeat Trump. Biden is the only choice for Democrats, independents, and Republicans who are serious about ending this nightmare.
He’s had to come to terms that he won’t ever be the nominee or President…
It’s a hard thing to deal with for anyone that has run as strong as he did ….
He sees the big picture. Doing everything you can to defeat Trump will be remembered fondly by history. Standing on the sidelines or wishing for a unicorn will not.
More unity–From PoliticalWire–Biden Praises Bernie Sanders:
“He hasn’t just run a political campaign; he’s created a movement. And make no mistake about it, I believe it’s a movement that is as powerful today as it was yesterday. That’s a good thing for our nation and our future.”
The ending of the civil war within the Democratic party….
Amen!

NEW: Most @BernieSanders supporters say they’ll back @JoeBiden, but they’re less likely to do so than the average Democrat.
A look at our polling as the former VP is the last man standing: morningconsult.com/2020/04/08/as-…
Yup!
Breaking:
At long last, I will be working from home as of tomorrow. But darn if we are not swamped with work (related to what is going on) and it’s going to take me much longer to do pretty much everything but it’s good to be as safe as possible. Maybe I will check in on the weekend, Goodluck.
May the “Angel of Death” “pass over” all of our homes and as many as possible everywhere in the world.
Good to hear. Everyone who has the ability to be should be working from home. Glad your employer finally agrees
