Too much for Democratic enthusiasm for Joe Biden.
A co-chair of the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign vividly described how it feels to choose between Biden and President Trump, comparing it to just having to eat half a bowl of feces.
“It’s like saying to someone, ‘You have a bowl of st in front of you, and all you have to do is eat half instead of everything.’ It’s still st ‘, ”Nina Turner, Sanders co-chair, told The Atlantic.
Turner, a former Ohio state senator, was quoted in an article analyzing Trump’s pathways to reelection, including by exploiting disgruntled supporters of Sanders’ socialist campaign, which he lost to Biden despite winning the first three contests. state Democrats this year.
Trump alleges that the Democratic Party tricked Sanders, a Vermont senator, out of the nomination.
Trump seeks to appeal to Sanders’ supporters by pointing out that Biden supported the Iraq War, voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement, and authored a 1994 criminal law credited with contributing to the “mass incarceration” of black people.
“The last time I got a lot of Bernie Sanders voters, as you know, a very good percentage. People were shocked, mainly because of the trade, “Trump said in a Father’s Day discussion last month with his son Donald Trump Jr.
“One thing Bernie was right about was in commerce. He said that everyone in this country is suffering greatly from our trade agreements. They are so bad And I get a lot of support from Bernie Sanders [supporters]. I think I’ll have it again this time. “
Although Sanders backed Biden and launched a “unity” agenda with him, some Sanders supporters balked at jumping on board.
Briahna Joy Gray, Sanders’ former national press secretary, tweeted Saturday that journalists should “start asking Biden why he doesn’t support progressive policies that WON Bernie’s enthusiastic support.”
