6. Well, it had to happen, I suppose, but cheer up.

No one really cares about twitter anyway.

It is a cesspool.

And, we have bigger fish to fry anyway.

I suspect Biden will do fine. I know I plan to crawl over broken glass if necessary to vote a straight blue ticket. And I also know that I'm not alone in that.

The radical end of Bernie supporters (I also like his platform) are that sort of purist socialists who will actually waste their vote on a third party candidate or not vote at all if the candidate's platform isn't exactly right for them.

We see this type of zealotry manifested also in evangelical Protestantism. If you don't say the sinner's prayer and believe the EXACT dogma they believe, why then you're gonna be in that lake of fire with worms that don't die.

We also see zealotry among white supremacists.

And, NO, people, I am NOT comparing Bernie supporters with white supremacists. I'm merely saying that the zealotry of some of his more fervent supporters is similar in nature to the zealotry exhibited by other extreme groups. That's all.

Whatever it is about, zealotry is not a good thing.

But again, cheer up, because the vast majority of people aren't zealots. And most people aren't on twitter much.

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