I completely get where you're going here, but your analysis (as well as so many others I've seen concerning him) is still very binary.

You're basically saying, people that didn't support Bernie are either "this" or "that"...you are dismissing the intellectual capacity of so many people. Your overemphasizing class while ignoring race and gender. (are you white? just wondering)

I quite simply am tired of old white men running the country. Period. Every amount of energy for Bernie should have been put toward Elizabeth Warren & Kamala Harris, but patriarchy & racism is the lay of the land.

I want a liberal woman in the oval office. Bernie never inspired me. It's time for the next generation to lead..its time for a different leadership style to be at the forefront. And AGAIN we won't get that.

Trump is an existential threat so i'm all in for Biden, but still...i'm pissed. fuck this hellhole.
