4. Bernie rocks it again

Bernie didn't have to do this. But he did. Why? I believe it is called extreme patriotism. Why we never listened to Bernie in the past is beyond me and many others. Just imagine what this country would look like today if we would have elected him in 2016. Medicare for all would be the law of the land by now. All student debt would be gone. Citizens United would be toast. And I could care less if he was an independent running as a democrat. His policies were and are still quite popular. That's what I voted for then, and that's what I'll vote for tomorrow. The good news is we now have some progressive democrats that have a future in the party. I wish them well. I hope the party gets behind them to end this farce once and for all.

Yet, all I've heard lately is crickets from the left. WTF is going on here?
