3. I wasn't here to see the fighting during the primaries, thank goodness.

My impression is that those fights made some posters very salty, but maybe I'm wrong?

Bernie is more aligned with my relatively far-left attitudes, but I didn't even vote in the primaries because I would've been pretty happy with either of them. I was also worried, after hearing the mantra so many times, that Bernie might be too socialist to win a general election. Trump was totally unacceptable to me. Looking back on it, Bernie might've fared just as well if not better. I'm not sure and I don't want to dwell on that hypothetical situation now.
