I have two opponents for the Democratic nomination for president. The first one does what he can to help people, but only to the point where it doesn’t fundamentally challenge the underlying corporate forces that always make the return of people’s suffering inevitable. The other makes some scathing criticisms of the system, but then always ends up with the ultimate “I’m a free market capitalism guy,” “we need the discipline of the free market,“ and “I’m not going to raise anyone’s taxes,” all of which are code to his right wing billionaire donors that he will never shake up the establishment so they don’t need to worry. It’s not an accident that neither one of them want to debate me. #BidenDebateUs

No free market capitalism but free money at birth, free healthcare, and free higher education. Your sentiment is admirable, but it shows naivete to basic economic principles. A debate with Bobby would be welcomed.

Translation: I’ll do what I can to make sure corporations have all the power of Washington at their feet, and I’ll do it by siphoning votes away from the incumbent democrat candidate, vote for me to make sure trump wins, thank you

This might sound crazy but you probably should have run in the Republican primary. Your supporters could quickly re register as republicans to get you onto the stage. Many of the know nothing trumpers would like your pro people policies.

Would be better for you to support him and then have a place in his cabinet and do what you do best: be you

A debate/town hall forum with all 3 of you could help bring more clarity & detail to inform the public of how you would each deal with issues impacting their lives; beyond simple platitudes, going into greater depth about applying policies and the repercussions of those policies.

Yes. Also you have no chance of winning.

I sincerely hope you get to debate. Unfortunately, both parties have established a tradition that the sitting President doesn't debate if he runs for re-election. Maybe you and the other challenger will have to debate an empty podium to make a point.

There’s only one job—defeat the fascist embracing GOP. Only one guy has the chance to do that—back him.

People who won't debate their opponents are cowards.
