10. Yeah they used every method available to divide.

I still stand by my support of Bernie in the 2016 election. I think his stances aligned by my stances a lot more than Hillary's did. Tax the rich, Medicare for all, free public college, etc.

But the Russians absolutely capitalized the divide and drove as much of a wedge between Hillary and Bernie supporters as possible. Right now we need to start healing our party, realize who put the wedge there and become mobilized to beat Trump.

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