An Inconvenient Truth.

He could have been President and something solid might have been done about Climate collapse.

BUT… he wasn’t perfect enough for the purity police and many on the left stayed home of wanted a third party candidate. I know, because I tried to sway many friends at the time.

This is the problem.

Some Democrats, and I say this as a lifelong Democrat who has been involved for 50 years, are never satisfied.There is a faction that ALWAYS wants something else. No one is ever good enough for them. We have to support our candidates, and stop eating our own.

JMHO… drag away.
