I've noticed the same thing on Youtube on the comment section of the extremely pro-Bernie The Young Turks channel. They say that if they can't have Bernie that they'll vote for Trump. Which seems pretty odd when you think about it as both Bernie and Trump are far part from each other on the political spectrum. However, their logic seems to be that if they destroy the democratic party it will make it easier for them to rebuild it in their image.

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