Sanders speaks truthfully, consistently. No one else like him.

There's NOTHING truthful about "there's no difference between the Democrats and the GOP". There's NOTHING truthful about "the Democrats are corrupt" or "the Democrats are feeble" or "the Democrats are intellectually bankrupt" or "the Democratic party is an absolute failure". There's NOTHING truthful about "the Democrats don't care about climate change" or "the Democrats focus too much on diversity". None of those things are true.

But you're right about being "consistent" that's for sure. Oh... but I can think of at least a DOZEN others just like him. He's not unique.

All I'm trying to say here is that it really serves NO good purpose for the lies and smears and attacks and negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

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