80. I couldn't agree more, Zonkers. The Biden Bro/Bra nastiness is to the point of mania here.

Except I don't agree that Bernie's quest was quixotic, that would imply that he was delusional as was Don Quixote of literary fame. A lot of young people and myself, not so young, think his ideas should be the foundation for the Democratic party: Medicare for All, a minimum wage that rises with inflation, free state college tuition, some kind of student debt relief, a Green New Deal, etc. It's funny how these ideas were mocked as quixotic, pie-in-the-sky and impossibly expensive by corporate Dems, like Biden, and Republicans for ages. Now they are ideas with die-hard supporters that will have to be reckoned with.

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