47. Sadly, that's not an argument a lot of them care about

The fact that we ended up with Trump, and there's a chance that we will again if Bernie and his supporters continue to trash the Democratic party and all Democrats running, is of no concern to them. A certain Sanders surrogate once even said that Trump may have been the better choice!

I'm not talking about honest criticism, or vigorous campaigning, or debate. But calling the Democratic Party inherently corrupt, accusing good Democrats of dishonest fundraising weakens us all, just to prop up Bernie Sanders.

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