and angers Bernie people. It would feel like gaslighting to Bernie people.
Here is Biden at the town hall.

CHARLESTON Joseph R. Biden Jr. came out swinging at one of his chief rivals, Bernie Sanders, at a televised town hall event on Wednesday, swiping at him over everything from his record on guns to the damage that he suggested Mr. Sanders would do to Democrats running in down-ballot races.
Mr. Sanders identifies as a democratic socialist, and Mr. Biden was asked on the CNN program if he would support a socialist at the top of the ticket.
We have moved in a direction that in fact, the progressive now progressive means Bernie, said Mr. Biden, who is a relative centrist but added that throughout his career he had been considered a liberal liberal.
It means democratic socialism or whatever the phrase is, Mr. Biden said. I think Bernie is a decent, honorable man who means what he says.

I think Biden is trying to reach out to Bernie voters and that is important. It is Biden's 'healing' message.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
