Is this all because Bernie endorsed ONE LOCAL CANDIDATE IN A LOCAL RACE [View all]

Is the entire party splitting at the fucking seams because of ONE FUCKING LOCAL RACE THAT BERNIE ENDORSED A PRO LIFE CANDIDATE IN?

This can't be true.

DID BERNIE TELL THE PARTY TO LITERALLY GIVE UP ON WOMENS RIGHTS?!

DID HE?
