57. I have gone from finding Bernie interesting to being terrified by him

Your OP does a better job than I could ever do of explaining why.

Realizing that the party in which he is running is a thing to be destroyed in unconscionable.

People will soon be drowning from fluid in their lungs waiting in the hospital for a ventilator. The lack of equipment is problem that directly stems from inaction during the lead time we had. The assembly line at Ford could have been ordered to start creating ventilators. The president had that power.

And Bernie would rather attack the party that is the only chance to vote Trump out of office. It’s sick. Something worse than the pandemic may come in the next four years and I would rather a democrat be in charge than a republican. I don’t understand how someone can feel differently.

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