No offense Bernie

[cactuswatcher]

and it certainly was not all your fault. But your refusal to drop out gracefully and wholeheartedly support your opponent when you knew you could not win the nomination 2016, and your influence causing the Clinton campaign to turn sharply to the left, no doubt helped He-Who-Should-Resign become President. Your understanding of how this country operates is as lacking as his and I doubt your ego would serve the USA better than his. You should have let younger Democrats of all leanings run in the race for 2020 without you.

Hear, hear.

Completely and utterly agree. I despise Bernie. My whole family does. We've decided he's the liberal version of Trump. I do not like "populist" candidates. They don't understand how government works or the process involved. They are basically pitch salesmen. Oh, I could on and on.

I changed my party affiliation to Democrat this year so that I can vote in the primaries. Also I have a rule -- I will not vote for anyone over the age of 65 (unless Trump is my only other option and it's a choice between a cockroach and an aging cockatoo). I think there should be an amendment to the Constitution that no one over the age of 65 can run for President of the United States.

I don't think Bernie is equal to, or worse than, Trump. But I don't like him very much, and I'd really rather not have him in the race when there are other candidates in it.
