I have a request. Please read my disclaimer below before leaving a comment.
Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll summary:
57 percent of voters said that holding primary elections risks exposing too many people to the virus. Sixty percent said that if their state held a primary election this week, the risk of exposure would factor into their decision of whether or not to vote.
Senator Bernie Sanders has acknowledged a ‘steep’ path to nomination. In fact, he refuses to acknowledge that there’s no realistic path to the nomination, just a mathematical/theoretical one.
But Senator Sanders has lots of work left to do. Thanks to his bashing of the Democratic Party as ‘Establishment’ and implying that the party is corrupt and not acknowledging his own inadequacies as candidate, the waters has been poisoned.
ABC Poll:
If former Vice President Joe Biden secures the Democratic presidential nomination, 15% of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters will vote for President Donald Trump's reelection
In 2016, 12% of Bernie supporters thought it was better to vote for Mr. Perennial liar than vote for ‘But her emails’ Clinton. (Yup! I will never get over the sexism in the rejection of Mrs Clinton).
Leaders lead in times of crisis. Mr. Bernie, can you be a leader? Wouldn’t your effort be better spent strengthening the Dem party and its policies than continuing a primary in these times?
I don’t care much for his supporters’ claim that Bernie staying in the race promotes the platform. Nope. It doesn’t. In fact, Mrs Warren was able to get some of her policies to be adopted both by Trump & Biden after she dropped out. That’s what a leader looks like.

I am still waiting to see how Covid-19 affects me. Otherwise, life hasn’t been bad for me economically under Trump. My rejection of him is based on morals & ethics. It’s very easy for me to go down the route of Bernie Bros — my way or the highway. That would be injustice to the kids who are still caged, the economically distressed whose medicaid & ACA coverage in under threat. A few thousand dollars of reduced taxes doesn’t wash away the sins. I know my fights. Do Bernie Bros?
