34. How come after 2016 the self-identified progressives from Democracy Now, green party

Jill stein, etc refused to vote for Harris? They weren’t there for the sociopath they were there for the institution and the peaceful transition of power. They all refused to attend the lunch.

How come Bernie was at the inauguration?
