Pushed us into the Iraq War.
Created barriers to bankruptcies for poor people.
Made student loans immune from bankruptcies.
Tried to kill social security. (Four times.)
Pushed the Crime Bill, explicitly moved to expand the prison population. (Including stopping parole, and trying to ban bail.)
Is pushing for oil industry fracking (still, in 2020).
Completely anti-womens choice (Anti Roe-Wade, Pro-Hyde, publically claims women do not have rights to their own bodies).
Pushed various "No Child Left Behind" stuff while making fun of poor children.
Drafted the original PATRIOT Act.
Anti-privacy, pro-surveillance state.
Also anti-encyption (presumably because his friends in the banks dont want to be held accountable, and his friends in the police state hate it).
Pro War on Drugs. (Actually was the one pushing Reagan to the right on this. Pushed the RAVE Act.)
Pro Death Penalty. (Actively worked to expand the death penalty.)
Still, in 2020, claims cannabis is a "gateway drug" and wants to go back to the no-brakes War on Poors Drugs.

If it wasn't focused on his love of breasts it was in no way correct. That'd be like trying to describe the sun by describing the ways in which it's similar to a candle.

Here's what I got. Please add your comments


The #NoJoePledge <or #NoJoe or #NoBiden Pledge>

We pledge to neither vote for, convince others to vote for, nor support the campaign of @JoeBiden in the event he becomes the Democratic Party nominee

#NoJoe
#DemExit

---

Some of us are independants, some are lifelong Democrats, some are #ObamaToTrump voters lost in 2016. Some are @BernieSanders supporters, others @ewarren supporters and others undecided.

All of us would have otherwise supported the Democrats in the general election.

---

Our objections come down to three major points:

1) @JoeBiden’s history of support for right-wing policy

2) Legitimate concerns about Biden’s health and ability to defeat Trump and carry out the office of President

3) The DNC and media’s collective effort to smother a grassroots progressive movement

---

As documented here <insert link to article or tweet>, @JoeBiden has a long history of supporting right-wing policy. He was chosen as a conservative balance to the progressive campaign of candidate Obama. We do not believe he represents the interests or preferences of the Party and certainly not of the grassroots progressive movement.

As @ewarren said, “He does not meet this moment”.

---

There are many voters who support Sanders plans such as the #GreenNewDeal and #M4A and believe Biden is a more electable shepherd of these policies.

Make no mistake, Biden's positions do not match the desires of the public, and as that becomes clear his veneer of electability will vanish.

In any case, he will not shepherd these policies because he does not believe in them.

---

Nominating @JoeBiden will give @realDonaldTrump the chance to run to his left on #NAFTA, #IraqWar and other issues, and given his reluctance to support #MedicareForAll, Trump will even be able to run to his left on #healthcare

#BidenDoesNotSuppportMedicareForAll

---

We are not swayed by arguments regarding Supreme Court nominations. As he has publicly stated and as exemplified by his conduct during the Clarence Thomas confirmation, there is every reason to believe Biden will cooperate with Republicans to confirm a moderate or worse.

---

The only way to ensure a progressive replacement on the Supreme Court and maintain or improve its political balance is to nominate and elect Bernie Sanders.

---

As documented meticulously by @glenn_greenwald, there are many serious reasons to doubt Biden is capable of pursuing a strong challenge to Trump or of meeting the rigors required of a four year presidential term.

---

These same concerns were raised by numerous members of the media and Dem establishment before it was clear Biden would be one of the final two candidates for the nomination.

----

Questions about Biden's mental fitness will be an enormous obstacle. The Republicans and right wing news organizations have already begun to attack Biden on this, and this weakness will be exploited in any future debates between Biden and Trump.

---

Finally, we have extreme reservations about the conduct of the Party and media during this election. Following the 2016 election, the Party made clear in court it believes it is has no obligation to hold fair and free elections.

---

At every point, the Party leaders have hinted they would use every avenue to block a Sanders nomination. First they hinted they would force a brokered convention. Then, in the wake of the SC primary, organized a endorsement offensive to force Sanders from the race.

---

We believe, contrary to the promises of DNC Chair Perez, the Party has put its thumb on the scale and lead it's own supporters astray in the rabid desire to block a Sanders nomination at all costs.

We cannot support a party that uses these tactics to demoralize its own base.

---

We've seen this before. In 1968, 1988, 2004, and in 2016, the progressive base was cowed into supporting a moderate, "electable" candidate only to watch them go on to defeat.

With so much at stake in 2020, we will not make the same mistake.

---

Finally, let us note that Biden is campaigning for a "return to normal". Yet the "normal" he desires are the exact conditions that led to the election of Trump.

Only Sanders has a plan to address the root cause of Trump's rise. If you want to truly #beatTrump, Sanders is your candidate.

---

We do not seek or expect the Sanders campaign to endorse this pledge. We are not representatives of the campaign, but rather a bloc of voters collectively exercising our voice and political power to support the positive change this nation needs.

---

There are some who will dismiss this pledge as astroturfed or a result of twitter bots. We cannot verify every account that signs this pledge, but this movement represents the opinions of real people.

To deny this reality is to court disaster in November.

It’s going to be pretty loving funny watching Cenk Uygur, Michael Moore, Sam Seder, etc. explain why it’s a moral imperative to vote for the guy who started the immigrant prison camps, authored the war on drugs, the 1994 white supremacist crime bill, hosed over labor on behalf of the banks/credit card companies, Strom Thurmond’s friend, says he has no sympathy for millennials, etc. Not to mention this is the second time they literally stole the nomination from Bernie
