202. I CLEARLY see the difference aikoaiko... so do others. The problem is, this involves Bernie...

and, you should know by now, NOTHING Bernie does will EVER be good enough. Why?! BECAUSE HE'S BERNIE!! You can't even misspell his name without receiving ridicule.

Even though I would never vote for Biden in the primary, unless he's the last Democrat running, I can still find good things to say about him, and DO, when he's occasionally right about something or if he makes some stride on his campaign, whether it's a poll, an endorsement, or if Joe evolves on some issue... but, for others, NOT WHEN IT COMES TO BERNIE, as that would go against the #1 Rule of Bernie Bashing: ALWAYS look for ANY opportunity to bash Bernie, careful to NEVER give him credit for ANYTHING!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

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

Exactly. Cha Feb 2020 #243

So you would punish him for not being for Bernie Sanders Cary Dec 2019 #34

Its not that he doesn't support Bernie, its the framing that Bernie is opposed to gun safety laws aikoaiko Dec 2019 #36
