He made it clear where he differed from Biden and Harris, but encouraged his supporters to vote for them. Are you proposing that he should have encouraged his supporters to ditch Harris, giving Trump an even more sizable lead?

Thank you on behalf of someone else who gets super annoyed with loose carts and lazy people!

Knock knock.

Boo.

Boo who?

Aww don't cry, it's just a joke!

A lot of my in-laws are Trump supporters, but do you know who they support more than Trump? Bernie. They want a lot of the same things that progressives do. Obviously there are Trump supporters that are racists and fascists, but I'd bet the majority just want a better deal for the working class, and they fell for Trump's promise that he's the one to do it.

You have every right to be frustrated and angry, and if it helps you to direct that anger at me, then go for it. I want you to know that even though it feels like there are so many people against you, there are people around the world you've never met that are pulling for you. I sincerely wish you the best, and I hope that you're able to find happiness.

It's easy to paint a huge group of people with a broad brush, but that's exactly the mindset that got us here.

Think of this from his perspective: the Democrats put their faith in the idea that money wins elections, and if you can out-raise your opponent the votes will follow. Twice they conspired against Bernie in the primaries because of his platform: tackling wealth inequality, progressive tax reform, and overturning Citizens United v. FEC. They chose corporate interests over the working class because they valued money more than votes.

Don't forget: replacing nonpartisan government experts with Trump appointees, defending and reclassifying public media and banning pornography.

He'd still be president if they hadn't shafted him in 2016, I'm sure of it.

There are about 66 million of us that probably feel the same way. You're not alone.
