      I just ask because I was phone banking for that primary and occasionally I ended up on the phone with a registered Republican for whatever reason. They were cordial and I was able to tell them why I thought Bernie was the best candidate among the Democratic nominees.

      You know who was vile though? Registered democratic boomers were furious with me and called Bernie “too radical”.

      So I don’t buy it when people try to deflect blame away from boomers for the state of American politics. Registered democratic boomers fight leftists harder than they fight MAGA. 🤷‍♂️

        The Democrats really are just republicans trying to “placate the Mr Rogers generations”.

        Both parties are filled with ruthless “empathy is weak, every man for himself” assholes. They must be kept as far away from politics as possible.
