4. Female Bernie Bros baffle me

I get how older women may support Biden because they think a man can defeat Trump more easily than a woman.

But just this morning I witnessed a female millennial Bernie supporter cheering on Liz's dropping out and she called her a "snake". I asked her to explain and her answer was that she didn't trust Liz and wasn't going to support a woman just because she's a woman. Weird. Whatever. It may be useful for someone to try to unpack this mentality. Gloria Steinem has her own thoughts on this but I'm not so sure.

Millennials also have many decades of life ahead of them so they can probably wait another cycle to smash the glass ceiling. Although that's what people were told last time too.

Either way, I'm a college educated minority millennial male and I supported Warren. Glad she's still in the fight in a different way, from the Senate.

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