1 - A real democrat? Who cares? I don’t think the majority of people do anymore. Is Trump a real republican? Bernie is nothing like Trump. There is no comparison between the two. Their character and substance on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Unrealistic proposals? Why? I bet a big wall between America and Mexico was unrealistic when you first heard it. What is unrealistic anymore? If Trump has proven anything its that anything is possible. Let’s do our best to make good ideas work instead of giving up from the start. Or is that a real democrat thing?
2 - The stink where hundreds of thousands of people were in the streets across the country? The stink of going against the entire DNC? Let’s be honest... Bernie, not a real democrat, came out of nowhere in 2016 and almost beat the anointed one. Only the people were supporting him. This counts for something. Ask Trump. Don’t be idoits and ignore/fight the momentum again. Bernie would have wiped the floor with Trump in the 2016 general. Bernie wins the close states Clinton lost in 2016.

“We saw this anti-democratic effort take place in the 2016 election right here in the United States, where we now know that the Russian government was engaged in a massive effort to undermine one of our greatest strengths: The integrity of our elections, and our faith in our own democracy.
I found it incredible, by the way, that when the President of the United States spoke before the United Nations on Monday, he did not even mention that outrage.
Well, I will. Today I say to Mr. Putin: we will not allow you to undermine American democracy or democracies around the world. In fact, our goal is to not only strengthen American democracy, but to work in solidarity with supporters of democracy around the globe, including in Russia. In the struggle of democracy versus authoritarianism, we intend to win.”
“Inequality, corruption, oligarchy and authoritarianism are inseparable,” Mr. Sanders said in a recent address. “Around the world we have witnessed the rise of demagogues who once in power use their positions to loot the state of its resources. These kleptocrats, like Putin in Russia, use divisiveness and abuse as a tool for enriching themselves and those loyal to them.”
That’s just a couple of examples. There are more. Words Trump would never even whisper in Ivanka’s ear. I believe Bernie is of the opinion that Russia was anti Clinton in 2016. As long as that didn’t happen it was a success for the Kremlin. Colluding w Trump to steal the election is the icing on the cake.
4 - Bernie has more energy and drive than most. I know I’ve seen you post something something about what society’s should not allow. On this list was ageism. 100% agree. Don’t be a hypocrite.
Elect character and substance. One time. There are examples of when Bernie’s ideas and vision was right before everyone else agreed years later. Maybe he has a few more of those ideas in him.
