With you fear post? Bernie is polling better against Trump than Biden?

And to tell people not to vote for Pete because you are scared him being gay can’t win? That is the definition of Discrimination. You think Democratic voters should discriminate against Pete? Wow!

Bloomberg has so much racist and sexiest stuff coming out right Incase you haven t watched the news. Not to mention he helped support Republicans to keep control of the Senate - oh and he was a republican.

Sorry fear will not make me decide who to vote for and I promise you when it gets to PA and if it’s between Bernie and Bloomberg I will vote for Bernie and tell everyone of my friends to do the same.

As far as I’m concerned. Not only do we need to stop Trump we need to stop Bloomberg

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