1. Well that's a relief the nation's been waiting on his decision

[scscholar]

2. Why did he wait until after the primary has been decided...

to say this? Strange timing.

4. Pretty sure he's been supporting Bernie for quite some time

5. If you had read the first paragraph of the article:

System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian has been outspoken in his support of Bernie Sanders since last summer and, as primary season nears an end, he's standing strong behind the Democratic presidential candidate.

6. He's been a supporter all along, he's Armenian and from Los Angeles, the CA Primary is upcoming

and the So Cal Armenian community is about 40% of the entire US Armenian community. The timing is appropriate considering these facts.

3. He seems like a nice

Armenian guy.

7. Wow, Sanders has the D-list rappers AND the D-list nu metal acts behind him now!

OMG HOW S HE LOSING TO HILLARY????????

8. Yep - he is

Both he and Tom Morello are big Bernie supporters.

I loved the organization that they built together - Axis of Justice - but the website has been down for a while so I think it's nixed. There's still a little bit of what they did here:
