Nice exchange with Bernie campaigner

Received a text from Bernie campaign urging me to vote for Bernie in Florida primary. I texted back that I was voting for Joe. Then, I thought my response was a little terse, so I added “Thank you for your activism and I will vote blue no matter who.” She responded with a thank you for letting her know and to have a good day.

Good outreach. Nice person. There are good people whom we will need in the general election.

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

1. Most Sanders supporters are good people. It's a shame a minority of his supporters get so much

attention for their bad behavior. (But they still need to be called out for it, especially when they're flooding social media with dishonest attacks.)

3. I Care

I have been emptying out my bank accounts for Sanders and Warren because I CARE about poor people, the homeless and struggling families. I am pushing Biden to come out with a platform that he will implement, no lip service please, to solve these problems. I have been paying taxes for 50 years and have seen most of this money spent for war. I am done with the MIC and fed up. I have never bullied anyone or been rude to anyone. There are many Boomer 68ers out here like me and all my friends. I’m a retired bilingual teacher who spent 11 years advocating for bilingual education and the education civil rights of ESL students. No more bashing of good citizens like me please!!!! No more Bernie Bros. Garbage!!!!

5. When the ones you say aren't you declare war on the Democratic Establishment

They mean me and all the primary candidates that ran a great race and endorsed Joe.

That’s more than sour grapes or being sore losers. Some people like to make sure who the ones you say are not you, are.
