Bernie is going to get beat down by his own party, if he knows whats good for him he would crawl back up to Vermont and sit by the fire with a cup of tea and count his money

Biden is terrible under pressure which means he's going to look weak in debates against Trump. He also lacks a passionate base like Bernie does. Most Biden supporters just like him because they associate him with Obama. It's name-recognition, nothing more.
Look at the past few elections. The person with the more passionate supporters always beats the guy whose supporters are luke warm about him. People were excited to elect Obama, while the people voting Republican were only alright with McCain and Romney. Then it was the opposite with Trump and Hillary.
Don't confuse passion for Bernie with a passion of freeloaders wanting something else for nothing. It's not Bernie that's causing the passion but their desire to have something else given to them they'er either unwilling or unable to earn for themselves.

Not even close.
Don't try to avoid that your passion is for free stuff you're unwilling or unable to earn.

Totally agree and there is Biden's very bad voting record. His support of the bankruptcy laws placed so many current young people in massive debt with no recourse, his treatment of Anita Hill will resurface on steroids, his support of the Iraq war and the videos of him being adamant in his willingness to cut SS and Medicare will be played 24/7. He is on video telling the corporate elite not to worry because nothing will fundamentally change if he is elected. Biden's PAC has taken lots of contributions from banks and the health insurance sector and this will be a huge issue.
So you don't expect the "working class", as you call them, to earn it like the rich have?

That's why so many Leftists despise Biden. The only people supporting him, because of his ties to Obama, have no idea that he has such a terrible history. These are the kind of people who only half follow politics and just support the guys they recognize. If Biden gets the nomination, all of this stuff will come out, and he'll lose tons of support.
When Biden is the nominee, those leftists you say despite him will vote for him.

Precisely.
No you don't. You said they should get free stuff. If it's free, they didn't earn it.
Healthcare isn't a right. It's a commodity just like anything else. I have noticed that those of you that claim it is a right expect someone else you think has too much money to pay for it. If you truly cared for those without coverage, you'd pay their bill personally.
You'll either vote for Biden if he's the nominee or stay at home and cry like a baby because your identity politics candidate wasn't picked.

Did you earn the road you drive on? Part of living in a society is working together and providing services for the public. That includes services that you, personally, might not use. You still benefit from other people benefiting from those services.
We expect the rich to pay for it because they have money to spare. If one working-class person pays for the healthcare of another working-class person, we'd still have a person without money for healthcare. Taxing the rich more will also improve the economy because it will keep so much wealth from pooling.
