Sanders told them was a great cause, insisting that all others were corrupt and that only he could lead our nation forward. Of course, he proves himself to be a very false leader by his constant attempts to deceive those who trust him and constant slanders of us all.

I hope that those who yearn to be part of an important movement can finally come to understand that mainstream, progressive liberals are always the leaders at the head of and the power behind virtually all advances, and sometimes truly great ones.

And in this era in our nation, we gather in the Democratic Party to make them happen.

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