Rob Reiner Tries To Convert Bernie Bros To Vote For Sleepy Joe
Controversial director and vocal Trump critic Rob Reiner is making headlines once again after practically begging die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters to vote for “Sleepy” Joe Biden.
On Monday, Reiner took to his favorite social media, Twitter, to voice out his pleads. He said that Sanders’s supporters should vote for Biden to defeat “ignorance, racism, corruption, and incompetence by the biggest landslide in US history.”
Bernie Sanders has given his full throated support to Joe Biden. If Sen. Sanders’ supporters do the same, Decency, Humanity, Science and Justice will defeat Ignorance, Racism, Corruption and Incompetence by the biggest landslide in US History.

Reiner tweeted following Sanders’s official endorsement of the former vice president. Before Sanders quit his $160 million campaign, Reiner was a loud and proud supporter of the Democratic Socialist. In April last year, Reiner had also expressed his delight when Joe Biden officially ran for office. “I think that if he becomes president, on day one, America will be brought back to where it belongs in the world,” the director said.
Fellow democrats and used-to-be Bernie fanatics, Barbra Streisand, Rosie O’Donnell, and Alyssa Milano, share the same sentiments as Reiner, with the latter facing backlash for supporting Biden. Before Biden became the presumptive nominee to go head to head with President Donald Trump, Milano was an active member of the #MeToo movement and stood in solidarity with fellow females “believing all women.” However, the tides changed when she changed court and started campaigning for Sleepy Joe, who faces various sexual assault allegations, one of which is from former Biden staffer, Tara Reade. Milano has been silent about the issue for days, but finally spoke to the media and explained that although she believes in women, she wasn’t willing to believe one at the “expense of not giving men their due process and investigating situations.”
On the other hand, despite Reiner’s obvious cry for help for Sanders’s supporters to change court, a lot of solid pro-Berns socialists expressed their unwillingness to vote for Biden.
One user explained why he supported Sanders and not Biden in the first place.
With the utmost respect for Bernie Sanders, who is an incredible human being & a genuine inspiration, I don't endorse Joe Biden.

I supported Bernie Sanders because he backed ideas like #MedicareForAll, cancelling ALL student debt, & a wealth tax. Biden supports none of those.
Another showed a receipt of why Democratic socialists wouldn’t vote for Biden.

One also explained the difference between supporting a candidate and supporting the candidate’s choice.
Bernie is a wonderful guy and he can endorse whomever he wants. That doesn't mean his voters are obligated to vote for the candidates he supports.

One of them was brave enough to “take the blame” if President Trump wins a second term because he will NOT be voting for Biden.
As a left-winger who will not vote for Biden I want you to know I'm 100% okay with you blaming me if Trump wins a second term. I mean it. Blame me. Then get to thinking real hard how you're gonna get me to support your candidate the next time! Maybe even ask me, I'll tell you!

And of course, the Democratic Socialists of America, which is the largest and fastest-growing socialist organization in the country, voiced out their decision in five words.
We are not endorsing @JoeBiden.
