I think he will have to talk to this event because he won't be able to ignore it

It would have to involve a full hearted apology...telling Americans that the sandinistas were right isn't going to cut it.

If Bernie is the nominee, I have no moral option other than vote for him.
But it seems like an unforced error to proceed with this history.

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