Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be "irresponsible" for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who "sit on their hands" in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump's reelection.

And lest there be any question, the 78-year-old Vermont senator confirmed that "it's probably a very fair assumption" that he would not run for president again. He added, with a laugh: "One can't predict the future."

[...] Sanders said his supporters have a simple choice now that Biden has emerged as the presumptive nominee: "Do we be as active as we can in electing Joe Biden and doing everything we can to move Joe and his campaign in a more progressive direction? Or do we choose to sit it out and allow the most dangerous president in modern American history to get reelected?"

He continued: "I believe that it’s irresponsible for anybody to say, 'Well, I disagree with Joe Biden -- I disagree with Joe Biden! -- and therefore I'm not going to be involved.'"

“When people said our campaign was too white, too male oriented, they were right.”

“You take a look at the staff we are putting together now, you will see a fundamental difference.”

No one can’t ever say that Bernie is colorblind to his campaigns and isn’t trying to diversify. pic.twitter.com/41wO6Z770Y
