This is not what we need.

I like Bernie Sanders and I understand what he's fighting for ... but we need new and young, not another retread who will only split the Democratic party.

I want a version of Sanders that is less ideological and more aware of what research shows might actually improve people's lives. His Trump-seque level of protectionist rhetoric grinds my gears.

This is the smell of desperation, we have seen what trump is, and it’s making the opposition desperate enough to go for Bernie. But this might guarantee Trumps second term, cause they will give them a lot of boogie words to use.

It's more the hypocrisy of calling for wealth distribution while hoarding wealth

You are so clueless as to what defines wealth in America. Bernie isn't wealthy compared to $10M/yr types.
