69. It's a problem for Bernie.

Mon Mar 9, 2020, 09:33 PM

Mar 2020

I supported him in the primaries last time- still follow him and a lot of people who are supporters on Social Media. My personal impression is there is a difference in the level of vitriol... but even if that’s overblown and just a perception problem... it feels real enough to enough people that it should have been addressed in a tangible way if the Sanders campaign was ever going to break through what appears to be their ceiling. It’s telling that a lot of us Warren supporters, who ideologically are closer to Bernie, are not exactly rushing to join his camp. The snake emojis didn’t help.

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