44. I want to hear it from Bernie himself or the campaign

Tue Mar 10, 2020, 08:40 PM

Mar 2020

If he wants to stay in a couple more weeks, then I am ok with that. Maybe a debate changes things up. But I don’t see him staying in until the convention again. Things do look very bleak.

I really wanted Bernie. I think he could have beaten Trump by changing up socialism to mean Trump is for corporate socialism and socialism for the rich. He could have exposed his lies to the working class, middle class, and poor. His change is sorely needed in my opinion. No big change started without a fight.

I feel we will get a more progressive nominee soon. I hope Bernie and Elizabeth are around to see it.

But in the moment we have to beat Trump. I will encourage my fellow Bernie people to vote for Biden. It looks like he is our chance to get Trump out.

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