about his problems getting along with people, in 1990.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/you-dont-know-bernie-sanders

He can be harsh with staff — short-tempered and demanding and sometimes rude. “Some people say I am very hard to work with. They say I can be a real son of a bitch. They say I can be nasty, I don't know how to get along with people,” Bernie told his press secretary in 1990, according to a memoir by the former staffer. “Well, maybe there's some truth to it.”

I guess he forgot to say people don't get along with him because he's too principled. LOL.

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