Bernie Sanders makes a tentative early prediction on the race:

Sanders: Biden could ‘win in a landslide’
'Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Sunday said President Biden, who kicked off his reelection campaign last week, could “win in a landslide” in 2024.

Sanders, who ran against Biden in the 2020 race, said it’s “no great secret” that he and the president “have strong differences of opinion,” but stressed that he thinks Biden is the clear choice for voters given the current political backdrop.

“We live in a nation where you have a major political party, the Republican Party, where many- not all, but many of their leadership doesn’t even believe in democracy, they maintain the myth that Trump won the last election. They’re trying to keep people from voting. They’re trying to deny women the right to control their own bodies,” Sanders said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“If you believe in democracy, you want to see more people vote, not fewer people vote, I think the choice is pretty clear. And that choice is Biden,” he said.

Using, trying to control women bodies as an example???? When the Democrats tried to control all Americans bodies by making COVID vaccine mandatory.

It's funny how only half the story is told, there is a word for that.

Covid is a communicable disease and can affect the entire population, thus pandemic. Abortion whether it be used to address an ectopic pregnancy, save a woman's life, or terminate a regular pregnancy is completely different. Why tell half a story?

And we know they were lies.

I will vote for sure but no way in he** for Biden.

I said main stream media news channels that are watched by the masses. Twitter, Al Jazeera and many independent journalists throw another light on the news we receive. I can't be doing with news channels with a one way slant and most have them have this. Only one side to Covid, only one side to vaccines, only one side to Ukraine war and so on. I prefer to hear both sides and reach my own conclusions, not someone else's.

so you are using Twitter and an alternative news channel as a primary source of information and by doing so you are hearing both sides and being more informed than everyone else.

Righto.

That is correct.

You're kind of conflating two issues.
Birth control and termination of a pregnancy is not the same thing as requiring a vaccination.
If the government will not let you (women for the most part) use birth control or terminate a pregnancy, that's the government telling you what you can or cannot do with your own body.
A vaccination requirement is an effort to stop a disease from spreading to the rest of the population.
So, one, termination /birth control, is an individual's choice and effects no one else.

There are other differences like the fact that the when it came to vaccinations the Government didn't threaten people with life in prison, or in the minds of some Republicans, the death penalty as they do for getting a termination even if it was to save your life, in the case of the women. Anyone helping or sympathising with your decision to get a termination is also threatened with significant jail time, even doctors who know a whole lot better what is in the best interests of their patients.

And they're not doing it because they have thought the matter through or consulted with their constituents, the vast majority of whom support a woman's right to choose, they're doing it because some religious fanatics demanded it and they want to get paid the bribes, sorry campaign donations.

I'm sure quite a few people will go for my throat on this, but termination does affect someone else- the human being who is terminated.
