One thing is pretty obvious right out of the gate regarding Bernie... [View all]

The corporate media's coverage of him is a lot more biting than it was in 2016. He's not the funny uncle any more. His core positions are largely unchanged since 2016 which was not a problem back then, but now, it's cries of Socialism, radical left, and gift wrapping a second term for Trump.

I supported Hillary in 2016, but today, I'm leaning heavily towards Bernie, very, very, very heavy lean. I'm just tired of the corrupted systems and fake narratives which are much bigger threats than Trump. If we don't take out them out, they will always find another Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
