In reply to the discussion: Sanders gets best reception at early 2020 audition [View all]kimbutgar
(22,584 posts)244. I supported Bernie and I am not crazy
I think he sold out the Democratic Party and the fact that he went back to being an independent is odious. But I know Bernie bros dont like real liberal lifelong Democrats criticizing him.
FYI I supported Bernie in the primaries and voted for him.
