41. Vetting Needs to Improve

Reply to Bread and Circuses (Original post)

Saturday

Either we as voters or the party need to do a better job vetting candidates and people like Bernie need to stop giving legitimacy to candidates with huge red flags. John should’ve been out when his racial profiling a Black runner and holding him up with a gun was discovered. His explanation wasn’t one and Bernie hand waving it didn’t help. I feel like the stroke didn’t change his character but revealed it. If he had integrity he would’ve stepped down with all of his health problems but here we are.
