It is just amazing how consistent Bernie is in voting, or skipping, votes in order to benefit Russia.

Brace yourselves for the chorus of defenders claiming "it would have passed anyway" or "it wouldn't have passed anyway" (therefore his vote "didn't matter'') or something.

Ugh. Well, if his vote doesn't matter... what's he doing there anyway? Why bother with ANY vote if someone is going to make an argument or defense as specious as that?

I'm so glad that someone FINALLY looked at his voting record and did the math in order to BUST THE MYTH that "Ohhhh! But Bernie votes with the Democrats 99% of the time". ---Of course that's nonsense! TOTALLY FALSE! In reality, he votes with the Democrats only 80% of the time (if you round-up).

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