We have some solid progressives running, including one who most Sanders supporters wished had run last time instead of Sanders.

Also, you seem to have omitted that another progressive candidate had millions more supporters.

Last time around Clinton was further to the left on numerous social issues than Sanders. She also highlighted dark money which at the time seemed to confuse Sanders.

Jim Webb, though short lived, outflanked Sanders to the left on criminal justice reform in a major way.

Not everything is about Sanders and any revisionist history will be met with facts.

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