No Democrat is perfect.
Your first AND second choices may have dropped out. Your third might. But the nominee, no matter who he is, won't be perfect. They won't pass your purity test. And yet either one of them will be better than four more years of Trump!!!
Please be reasonable.

(12,011 posts)Plenty of so-called Dems on Twitter say they'll vote for anyone but Bernie in November. At least as many as Bernie people who say they won't vote for the eventual nominee. Though it may be skewed a bit because I unfollowed a lot of the 2016 Bernie supporters I was following who became Bernie or Busters.
