For what it's worth, thank you. That was a brave post. It's hard when the person you supported isn't/didn't get the traction you had hoped for.

I see the Sanders camp in two distinct groups. 1 group is honest, caring, and deeply committed supporters. 2nd group is full of bullies, harassers, and just down right exclusive and mean.

It's a problem Bernie had last time and could have taken steps to fix the second group, but did not. Unfortunately for Bernie, that representation hurt him as are the viral videos that are manipulated posted by that group.

I can't imagine how much anguish it would have to bring to a Bernie supporter to have to fight with outside groups and the toxic movement within as well.

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