7. Not voting for Bernie out of fear

As a former Pete supporter, I can't tell the amount of vitriol and homophobia that has been thrown towards Pete from the Bernie Bros. One of their big motivators is, "You better vote for Bernie. We're not voting for you." Bernie has zero chance at pulling Trump Democrats back into the fold. Pete and Joe won every single Obama to Trump flip district. Every single one. The youth turn out is lower than in 2016. Bernie does poorly against Joe in the middle age to 65+ category.

I notice that Bernie bringing up the Iraq war vote over and over again is a calling card to younger people who weren't around. Those of us remember. We remember the lies that the Bush WH put out and the misinformation. We also remember it was the Obama/Biden administration that got Osama Bin Laden.

There is room in the tent for everyone. The problem is, Bernie has made it abundantly clear there is only room so long as you're a progressive and get on board with his plan. Plain and simple.

Most of us are tired of being labeled as kid cagers, haters of health, and not caring about the planet.

Bernie speaks to a narrow revolution that insists one must sign onto. Democrats have always been a big tent that brings in everyone. Bernie not being a Democrat never understood that in my opinion.
