1. Someone suggested that not liking Bernie or criticizing Bernie was anti-Semitic... is that true?

So, if I dislike Bernie, does that make me an anti-Semite? Isn't it possible for me to simply dislike Bernie for a myriad of other reasons OTHER than his Jewish heritage?

I get the impression that he's not a "practicing-Jew" or "religious" man in that regard. I wonder if I'm right.

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