64. He didn't compare Bernie to Trump at all. The tweeter is mistaken (giving him the benefit of doubt).

Peter compared the two groups of supporters as "disaffected citizens who seek to change the status quo." That is not a criticism or compared the groups or candidates ideologically. It was just an observation.

It seems to be pretty accurate. Your own post states you are a Sanders supporter and ends with "Welcome to the revolution!!!" LOL.

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