The intensifying coronavirus pandemic meant Sanders could no longer hold the large rallies that came to define his grassroots movement, though he often pointed to the problems many Americans had getting tested and treated for the virus as a way to push his signature Medicare for All proposal.

    1. About time.
      His fanatic supporters will not vote for Biden just to make a point like last time.

    2. @Split Second I don’t see Biden making it that far either. His mental capacity is slipping fast…. this is where Hillary jumps back in like she’s been hinting at.

    3. @Donovan Dey  
      Bernie is like corbyn in the UK he got no chance in elections, why? because the press Rupert Murdoch and co is very active to manipulate people who could have voted for the Democrat/labour.
      The Far left can’t succeed, the left centrist moderate can grab some Republican voters not someone like Bernie.

    1. It’s kind of annoying that he waited for the Wisconsin primary to end before announcing the end of his campaign. It was virtually impossible for him to win. If he actually cared about people he would have ended his campaign before the primaries.

  1. I am disturbed by all the negative comments here. I think Bernie made the right decision under the circumstances. I support his continued progressive agenda. I will work very hard to assure that Biden wins and that there are as many progressives as possible in Congress and elected offices down to the school boards throughout the US.
