He wasn't even picked over Bernie, Bernie dropped out to avoid campaigning and accumulating crowds during an emerging global pandemic. He chose to consider the people over his own goals, Biden didn't show any of that concern.  Which is why I'm still not surprised he's choosing his ego over the greater good of the country now too. As someone with a lifetime of respiratory ailments (which DRASTICALLY reduces quality of life without access to increasingly expensive rescue inhalers), I was following all of this very closely and took it all extremely seriously as soon as it began.  Biden didn't, it didn't benefit him to.

What are you saying exactly? Biden didn’t take COVID seriously enough because he ran for president during COVID? Bernie only dropped out because of COVID and concern for people with respiratory ailments?

If everyone on the left “chose to consider the people” in 2020 and not campaign, we’d be in even worse shape than we are now on every single issue. It’s a little ironic for you to blast anyone’s ego when you think these decisions centered around your respiratory ailments.

For the record, I think Bernie could have run the first full online campaign. People would have loved it. The “Feel the Bern: Fireplace Address” livestream series could have hit big with a country living life over zoom. 

We could have had AOC as VP steaming League immediately afterwards while running Q&amp;A. Hasan coaching both on how to use twitch and chatterino to drag dissenters for a pick as press secretary. What a missed opportunity.

COVID killed people, a lot of people, and disabled millions more, so not sure why you feel the need to attack those of us already limited with how we can go about the world or who need to think of this sort of thing all the time.  Sorry for hurting your feefees by prioritizing my disabilities and valuing a candidate that also did, albeit not perfectly, especially during a time before we had the hindsight for if and how this pandemic could be treated or prevented.  

 Not sure who hurt you, but the privilege of having an able body isn't permanent, and you're only one accident away from disabled yourself and suddenly the focus of this same weird ire.  Focus your rage and "what ifs" on something more productive instead of shaming disabled people for rightfully worrying about getting sicker and more disabled in a country with for-profit healthcare where we are already under-supported and where people like you only seem to come out of the woodwork not to defend us but to do some hypothetical apologetics against the very real scenarios we live everyday to dismiss and invalidate any concerns we might have.  Are you really accomplishing anything good or are you just shitting on individuals while defending systems that oppress them?
