29. Sanders killed the left with his divisive campaign and made the left a pariah

So, Sanders did not push the party to the left. Left's unreasonable demands, whining and extortion pushed the party to the center where there are votes to replace what the left is threatening to withhold.

When people can borrow money from a bank, they don't have to go to a loan shark and put up with oppression.

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