23. Bernie

Apr 2017

Two reasons:

1. I find myself agreeing more than disagreeing with Bernie plus he has actual experience in government and has proven he can run a successful campaign for office.

2. Zuckerberg's douchey older brother vibe is a real turn off. That counts for me. He reminds me of my real life brother to whom I haven't spoken in over 5 years. Would toss you aside in a heartbeat, doesn't seem to have left the frat behind and simply can't resist the temptation to rub his success in your face.

Sorry but I'll take grouchy tells-it-like-he-sees-it uncle any day.
