Bernie hate needs to stop and soon [View all] LeftTurn3623 Feb 2020 OP

If he can't handle the heat of a primary, then how can he handle a General Election. Hmm? NurseJackie Feb 2020 #1

Who says he can't handle it? He is handling it just fine under the circumstances. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #64

The OP apparently disagrees with you. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #75

It's not Bernie I'm worried about. He's fine. zentrum Feb 2020 #89

And calling the Democratic party "corrupt" and "morally bankrupt" and "a complete failure"... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #150
