Which is really what matters here.

She got three million more votes. Which by any reasonable standard should have made her the winner. But in our fucked up world that's not how it works.

Bernie or anyone else can win nationally by a zillion votes. But a hundred or so shitbags in Elk Dung, Wisconsin control our destiny.

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