New On the other hand...
Bernie has his flaws.

Paul Krugman opinion at NY Times: Biden, Sanders, Social Security and Smears.
Lying about a rival is bad, even if you don’t like his past positions.
While the news media has been focused on the “spat” between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, something much more serious has been taking place between the Sanders campaign and Joe Biden. Not to sugarcoat it: The Sanders campaign has flat-out lied about things Biden said in 2018 about Social Security, and it has refused to admit the falsehood.

This is bad; it is, indeed, almost Trumpian. The last thing we need is another president who demonizes and lies about anyone who disagrees with him, and can’t admit ever being wrong. Biden deserves an apology, now, and Sanders probably needs to find better aides.
You want to get in to all the stuff Bernie did for gun manufacturers in the distant past?

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
New I already said I might vote for the former Senator from MBNA.
I know Bernie has his faults. That's not what got my dander up. The fact is being sexist is not among them.

Bernie's policies I am more inline with than Biden's. I'm no fan of plagiarism and will not be excited to vote for Biden (curiously in 1988 he was my first choice - but he blew that by his recitation of a Neil Kinnock speech that he claimed as his own. Aside: that was a quaint time. Plagiarism was sufficient grounds to end a Presidential campaign back then. Can you imagine?).

I'm old enough to remember McGovern - whom the kids also adored and then didn't show up for in the general. I fear the same would happen if Bernie were the nominee. If kids in the 70's had short attention spans, kids today have attention spans that are of insufficient duration to measure. Moreover, there are enough old farts my age who grew up fearing Godless Communism/Socialism and are still terrified by the mere mention of those words, notwithstanding the fact that none of them ever understood them - or will ever understand them.

So, I'm a likely Biden voter not because I think he is the best choice, but because I truly believe America is incapable of any better.

It's mourning in America again.
New Brevity Award ..last five words.
Indeed.. I reccognize that my 'reasons' for settling for damn-near-Anyone on Demo-list (including those who ran out of $$) are the reasons that most of these--whose values, judgments we can only infer--will prove anathema to the cant-controlled, imagination-bereft ..likely plurality. (Unclear, as it will remain: the %young-uns who will look-up from their portable games + endless-texting? to show-Up to vote, even).

Shorter: ANYone who hasn't fathomed-yet: the countless lethal-actions a Drumpf (next *freeed from Any 'punishable' come-uppance)--over 4 More Years: is a despicable lemming. As the Temp Rises and anger predominates ... in every commute, in many mobscenes daily ... well-you-know..

* presuming merely, that not-even-Four Repos give a shit about [anything besides asured sinecures].
