There is way too similar an attitude going on with Bernie fans. Trump had the Congress and Moscow Mitch. Any Dem would be lucky to have one house. Obama had a filibuster proof Congress, yet could not get a public option or Medicare for all.

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