Put up or shut up. Also, Bernie has voted for war. Biden was real progressive legislation accomplished. Bernie does not. Climate Change, Joe was the first in history to pass climate legislation in 1986. Gun control, Violence against women act, building support for Obama care in congress, and so much more.
