Over 30% of the Democratic party voted for Bernie thus far.

That's a lot of people.

Bernie is capable of raising huge sums of money.

The interesting thing about his picks is that the money is going to "the little people", who are most economically at risk.

And too, participating in this fundraising effort lets people feel like they are doing something at a time when there's a great sense of helplessness.

Now, as to Bernie not being in the Senate/DC, I'm not sure he's needed there. In fact, I think, in the Senate, Bernie has been largely unnecessary for the past 6 years except to keep Obamacare alive.

So, I'm okay with this. Let this divert the energy from the anti-Biden message.

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