Bernie: “What if we ran a campaign trying to alienate as many reliable Democratic voters as possible?” Biden: “What if we ran a campaign trying to alienate as many young and progressive voters as possible?”

There’s a fundamental cognitive dissonance in play when the argument boils down to “we face such an existential threat that you must vote for the candidate who says things aren’t so bad right now.”
OK, you got me. I totally disagree with Biden that Trump is *the problem*, and that once you get rid of him, Republicans will be willing to work with Biden. They won't. Their party is broken. That's why the candidates who argued the need for structural change were my top choices.

But I still say that beating Trump is so important that, damnit, I'm going to be enthusiastic for Biden, and I think everyone else should be too.

There's enough time to the day of the election for the party to come together. There should be space for people to grieve over the time and effort they invested in other campaigns. My parents had 3 Warren staffers living with them for >6 months.
