Sanders: 'The day after Biden's elected we're going to have a serious debate'
The Hill ^ | August 21, 2020 | Max Greenwood

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday reaffirmed his commitment to electing Joe Biden president, but said the Democratic nominee’s victory in November would be followed by a “serious debate” about the direction of the country.

“We’re going to come together to defeat Trump,” Sanders told "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah on Friday. “And the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society.”

The Vermont senator’s remarks presage a coming push by progressives to wield more influence in the Democratic Party and within a potential Biden administration.

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, posed the greatest challenge to Biden during the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating contest, amassing a series of early primary wins before eventually falling behind Biden in the delegate count and suspending his campaign in early April.

He endorsed Biden soon after ending his campaign and has since sought to boost the former vice president among progressive voters who may be reluctant to cast their ballots for a more moderate Democrat.

Sanders acknowledged his differences with Biden on Friday. But he said that unity among competing political factions — progressives, moderates and even conservatives — is necessary to stave off President Trump’s reelection.

It’s because if ‘the people’ knew what commies had planned - Biden wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of being elected.

Dear Bernie:

That “serious debate” will involve the sound of several million rifle magazines being slapped into place, and the sound of safeties clicking to the OFF position.

Within the framework, of course, of defending a Constitutional REPUBLIC from POS Commie scum.

“ Bernie is desperately trying to keep his followers on a leash so that they don’t trash Biden’s campaign before the election.”

Futile appeal by Bernie. Proggies trash everything they touch.

No difference, really. The nonsense about an all-powerful totalitarian state somehow withering away is just that—nonsense.

“The moment Biden would be elected would be the last moment Bernie would have value to the Dem establishment.”

This is also true of BLM and Antifa. I would not be at all surprised to see mass executions of the radicals responsible for all the current unrest once the Democrat establishment feels secure in their power and no longer needs their street soldiers.

This is what always happens to the paramilitary wings of extremist political movements.

I have been reflecting on my observations of Biden and his speech at the convention. I found my self more concerned then I ever had in the past. In past elections I was concerned about my country but something is different this time. This time I fear for my family. Observing Biden as he spoke I saw a man who clearly has mental issues. With his speaking patterns, facial expressions of half twisted smiles, anger, finger pointing, and fist pumps he seemed all to similar to Hitler for me.

I was thinking how Trumps pet name for sleepy is all too miss leading, For Biden plans to be very much in charge and he will have a small force of people who will carry out his will. Those who believe they will control him are misguided.

After some thought about what was most disconcerting with Biden I came to the conclusion it was his volatility. Since I was thinking prior on what would be a better name for him other then sleepy I looked up volcanic in the dictionary and to my dismay I found it was synonymous with the word barbarous.

You see, recently it was revealed to me a barbarous spirit has been very active in our country. I also noticed seeing articles of this behavior specifically using the word barbarism, which provided confirmation.

And now our country has a man filled of this spirit, up for the highest office in the land, who potentially will gain control of the most powerful military ever. And in his big speech he clearly states he is ready to use his position to muzzle all of us and any others who get in his way.

But to the name of Sleepy Joe and what it represents. No Biden is not a harmless old man who will fall asleep at meetings. He is an unstable man filled with a barbaric spirit looking to gain access to the highest position in the world.

President Trump it is time we call him by a truthful identifier we are not in a time for us to worry about political correctness.

Will God allow this to happen to us, only time will tell. It’s our choice for surely we live in a time of Nineveh. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to correct some of the things that has gotten us to this point.
