as enormously important as that is. This campaign is about transforming America."

The original existential threat quote from last year about Bernie: "He has made it his mission to either get the nomination or to remake the party in his image as a democratic socialist. That is an existential threat to the future of the Democratic Party for the next generation." The Third Way Democrats think Bernie as the nominee would alienate crucial voting blocs, losing to Trump. If he isn't the nominee, he'll continue his movement against the party because as he said again today -- he thinks they're corrupt corporatists ignoring the working and middle class.

He really got mad at Third Way when they praised Elizabeth Warren and Politico did an article, "Centrists are coming around to Elizabeth Warren as an alternative to Bernie Sanders." Everybody knows Warren is progressive. Yet again he had to try to make it sound like he's the only true progressive and his positions are unique to him: "The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly 'anybody but Bernie.' They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up the big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class."

His opinions are based on incorrect information, he likes disruption and division and negativity. His intentions are bad.

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