albeit with less snark.

To quote Mr Sunkara, I want Bernie supporter to hear his plea, which is very similar to mine, even though I am not a fellow Bernie supporter: "But fellow Bernie Sanders supporters hear my plea – we gain nothing by playing into the idea that the process is so stacked against us that we can’t win. For one, saying that elections are all “hacked” or manipulated nowadays is a great way to encourage working people not to come out and vote."

All the silly conspiracy theories belittle their candidate. This is where the the snark in my post is coming from.

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