10. As a Bernie supporter..

Bernie has always presented himself as a tough truth teller. I'm surprised he is leading his supporters on with the "narrow path to nomination" nonsense. He has NO path to the nomination, and he knows it. Why delude them as if they were dumb Trump cultists. We are better than that. It's OK to suspend but not end his campaign, bearing in mind Biden's age and sexual assault allegation against him, but deceiving his followers with fantasies should be beneath him.

I have supported him in 2016 and 2020 because I believe his ideas should become the bedrock of the Democratic party platform, especially MFA, although I was never enamored with the man himself. I would like his followers to reform the Democratic party from within, at least try to find out if that is possible, instead of being delusional.

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