64. If elected, Bernie will CALL FOR many things. Justs like he has for 30 years. But he's

an entrenched part of the establishment (see the above referenced 30 years) who is, as far as I can see, much less legislatively effective than most of his Congressional competition. (Note: "CALLING FOR things does not actually do anything.)

Also, his followers are often completely dishonest in their messaging and seem to be taking a page from the trump cult in their messaging methods. In reality, those dishonest followers are probably responsible for a lot of people distrusting the candidate himself, and they do him more harm than good.

He's not my first choice, and as he is not well served by his bros, I doubt he'll be nominated, but I'll vote for him if he is.

I'll vote for a rotting fish head if it is nominated against trump.

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