Maybe you think Bernie Sanders shouldn't make endorsements in Democratic primaries
(since he isn't actually a Democrat, blah blah blah) ???

Well, I backed Sanders in 2016.... but voted for Joe Biden in 2020
(even though I might have agreed with Bernie more on 'the issues'!)

I will trust the Democratic voters of North Carolina
to correctly choose their own Democratic congressional nominees...

(since I don't live there--- I don't know who the fuck you are talking about
in either case!)
