In reply to the discussion: Operation Bernie Block Is in Full Effect [View all]ucrdem
(15,720 posts)39. Bernie only has himself to blame.
If he'd been more gracious last time, and if he hadn't barked out that vindictive email last week, maybe voters in SC would have gone with flow and spread their votes among all the candidates. But no.
Well, that's who he is, so I guess we have Bernie to thank for inspiring Dems to get behind a candidate who can win in November. So hattip to Bernie for his part in what's happening right now which is a huge relief
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
