I’ve liked Sanders in the past because he could be a useful thorn in the side of Congress, but now he is just a guy poking the hornet’s nest. I gave up on him when he brought Turner on board his team and I discontinued receiving his e-mails. He does still have an (I) after his name, so I question what he is doing in Cleveland supporting someone who is running as a Democrat! ( and we know Turner is not a true Dem anyway ). Also having Cornell West there?! When BS was no longer a candidate in 2016, West shifted his support to Jill F’n Stein. He is also known for his critiques of President Obama , calling him a “black mascot of Wall Street” and a “black muppet of corporate plutocrats “. There was enough hate and disrespect for the excellent man Obama from the racist Right ; we didn’t need to have it coming from extremists from anywhere else. No wonder the turnout for this gathering was paltry.
