23. I'm a 70 year old Michigan voter and I didn't vote

against Sanders, I voted for Biden. I call myself a Democratic Socialist and that makes me an Anti-Fascist.
I voted for Sanders 4 years ago and then voted for Clinton in the elections. I think it is now time for Bernie to throw in the towel and save some older voters from the risk of the virus by having to go to the polls in the primaries that are left.
I truly think we all need to unite to dump trump. I won't bad mouth anyone on the Left, even Bernie.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
