I think we could see an even worse case scenario where, if Sanders were nominated, we see a sizable amount of vulnerable down-ballot candidates openly going on the record regarding their disapproval of a Sanders candidacy. And then Sanders and his divisive campaign and Bernie Bro type toxic online followers spend more time attacking them and the Democrats than they do Trump, and it ends up in a bloodbath where they all lose.

We already fucked this up in 2016 -- we can't afford to fuck it up again this go around. Let's just make sure Sanders isn't our nominee and gets nowhere near close enough to lay claim to being our nominee to begin with.

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