Democrats = Republican-lite. And Dems are always at fault.

So, tell me again why Sanders insists on running as a Democrat when elections come up? Well, the Senator for Vermont admitted it himself during the 2016 campaign, why he didn't run as an Independent: For the money advantage and the PR exposure.

Excuse me, I'll vote for an actual Democrat in the primary. And hopefully, one of those Democrats will be our nominee.

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