No Bernie is not trying to get Trump elected in any form. This is Bernie on the recent bailout bill. Rational news reports note that Bernie's approach seemed to help bring Rand Paul and 3 other Republican Senators back to the table to actually sign this bill. More credit to the House where democrats actually have power. However, Bernie like other Democratic senators helped fight back against republican over reaches in the bills.
That is the problem with being guided by hatred. People here make things up which can charge up someone who wants to stay positive. Democrats like Bernie in the broad world. Bernie is representative of an important part of the Democratic Party who want faster change than other people in the Democratic party. This election may or may not mean that this part of the Democratic party is not the majority. However, it is both a part of the democratic party and of substantial size. The people here want to write this part of the democratic party and people who believe we need fast and immediate change on climate change and the economy out of the democratic party and on this site constantly refer to democrats who like Sanders as "cultists".
You seem to be saying you have tried to refrain from bashing. I support your statement that you have tried to be positive in this 2020 campaign. I would urge you to continue that policy rather then in your words "this ends now". It is a better policy to not pretend that Bernie and other democrats are the enemy and trying to elect Trump rather than democrats who believe in faster change on issues like climate and the economy than other people and often disagree on the direction of that change. Even with the collation that coalesced around Joe, there are substantial differences in policy which seemingly in this current situation with a maniac in the white house is not deemed a determinant issue. The is a reasonable position of some that beating Trump is everything but the fact that Joe won is also being used to assert that true democrats don't like Bernie which is a totally offensive proposition to long standing democrats who like both.
Please go back to your earlier policy and stay positive rather than negative. All polls and trends look like Joe Biden will beat Trump because Trump is finally being exposed as having no clothes. So be happy. Link below.
