11. I'm with Tribe. Sanders tried to overset the democratic process

Apr 2019

in the 2016 primary. Horrifyingly, those who continued to support him were shockingly in with his attempted extreme misuse of party rules to overset the popular vote. This is no different from election theft by Republicans, and in fact some of those who supported it went on to vote for Trump.

Like Trump, Sanders would be powerless without his supporters. THEY and what they would support next by their chosen leader frighten me far more than him. And now some are wholly rejecting and attacking a liberal activist group for an article they don't like about their leader.

I don't know if those attacking this liberal group are among his conservative or leftist supporters, or both, but if this follows the usual course in the end they'll all be part of a populist movement heavily energized by social conservative hostilities. This already smells of both out of control zealotry and trumpsterism.

We are living in dangerous times. OF COURSE, Lawrence Tribe trusts almost any other Democratic candidate to be what America needs, but not Sanders.

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