Obama gave us hope; Biden is giving us hope, Klobuchar and Buttigieg give us hope.

All you and Warren are doing is, short of using the term "carnage" is painting how awful life is.

I don't know that Trump's campaign will be the same as in 2016, but both you and him had the same lack of hope which, of course, explains why so many of your supporters voted for him.

And, since you are on record as maybe not supporting the nominee, will your supporters, then, blow our chances, again?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I just don't get it. He can't even stand together with the party that he caucuses with. Who is this message aimed at?

Is it only Bernie's supporters he's speaking to?

a critic of dysfunctional systems; which have left hundreds of millions of Americans behind, those dysfunctional systems have been highly divisive to American Society and have fertilized the grounds for the toxic growth of Trump.

Bernie believes government should be a champion for the "least of these" and that in itself breeds resentment among the comfortable with the status quo because long term shortcomings are exposed to the light of day and no doubt subconscious feelings of guilt are manifested and thus projection takes place.
