ELECTION 2020

[HairOfTheDog]

I really don't want to have to vote for Bernie. I'm not seeing much, if any, of a difference between Bernie bros and trump's cult.

I think I'm the only one here at Mock who would have no problem voting for Bernie Sanders (based on consistency on the issues, passion for much-needed systemic change, and electability).  I don't care about the 'Bernie Bros' internet bullshit though.

I suspect that a large number of Democrats over 25 (and pundits + media + a smaller number of Independents) share your feeling and don't want Bernie to be the Democratic nominee. 

I get the anti-Bernie rationale and nobody 'has to' vote for him, but hope that enough Dems and Independents will give him a chance and vote for Bernie if he ends up being the Democratic nominee. 

The alternative is 4 more years of Trump, with even less checks and balances on his Executive power.

Anyway, it's on Bernie to explain his plans and his ability to unite people beyond his very solid base - he needs to do better on that front and I'm optimistic that he will now that the field is narrowing. 

I wouldn't have any problem voting for Warren, Buttigieg, or Klobuchar in the general election either.  Biden and Bloomberg are at the bottom of my preference list, but I'll vote for either of them without much trepidation if they win the primary.
