that Bernie was actually arrested in the United States in the 60s over civil rights. A lot of people talk equality, but Bernie has sacrificed for it. I too have a concern over the word socialist, but come on people, Bernie isn’t the end of the Democrats. In fact, outside of Biden and his support for the unions, Bernie may be more for the American workers than any other candidate. Bloomberg on the other hand IS the end of the Democratic Party. Let’s not forget we are the party of the working class first and foremost. That’s what has hurt us in the past, especially in 2016. The Midwest working class went for Trump because they felt left behind.

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