Among his\nsupporters are nasty, antagonistic bullies (the Bernie Bros), plus there\u2019s a\ncontingent of feral, divisive interlopers (the Russian bots). Rivals Joe Biden\nand Pete Buttigieg, Clinton apparatchik James Carville, and others, deride\nBernie as a socialist. Late-bloomer Mike Bloomberg all but branded Bernie a\ncommunist at the Nevada debate. Despite Bernie\u2019s popularity with people, he has\nnot found favor with the editorial boards of Nevada newspapers. Absent such\nendorsements, I\u2019m just going to link to a favorite snippet from a Sanders\ncampaign appearance back in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stark reality is that a majority of Democrats will vote\nfor a party nominee in the general election who was not their top choice. If\nthe foregoing describes you, make your peace with the predicament now. Do your\ncivic duty in November. Finish what the House started when they impeached\nDonald.
