refusing to change his affiliation, probably is mocking us for embracing him while he has campaigned against other Democrats.

Frankly, if we don't care about a Democratic nominee, why should the rest of the country take us seriously?

And don't forget, his strength in 2016 led many of his supporters to vote for Trump or to stay home, either way, contributing to our loss.

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