I like Bernie Sanders a lot. He will be getting my vote in the primary. Many of us believe he is the best qualified candidate for the office of the president.

How can any Democrat Vote for Bernie Sanders?

They can’t IF they are true Democrats. Bernie is a Socialist/Communist.
The Real question is ... are there any Democrats left — or all they now Socialists/Communists who no longer accept or believe in our System of Government and Constitution?

Bernie has many problems - most of them have to do with how he conducts his campaign and how he attracts toxic males to it.

He has not disavowed ANY of the misogyny and arrogance of his followers.

He never apologizes nor reigns in their behavior.

Sounds like someone already in the Oval Office.

NOPE.

Bernie will be 80 if he takes office.
JFK was 43 when he became POTUS.
The Democrats have learned nothing since Trump has been in office.
They have wasted years trying to overturn the result.
And now, after Clinton was rejected for being part of the Capitol Hill establishment, they're offering up to the electorate a selection of fossilized relics from that same establishment.
Their winning candidate should be young, female and black and preferably gay rather than grey.
Instead he'll more than likely die in office if elected.
That's why there'll be five more years of Trump.

Two suggestions:
  1. Rashida Tlaib for President!
  2. Megan Markle -

They're both in their 30's and 40's, born in the U.S., self-identify as female (or maybe are cis-gender female), partially some diverse ethnic group, and fully woke. They check off all the boxes.

Capitalism and socialism are both near their end, so I don't care much which ends first. I will probably vote for Bernie so I can see who he picks for VP, so the race is Trump vs. Bernie's VP pick.

if I was still a Democrat, what would be most concerning to me wouldn't be Trump, it would be the DNC. They decide who the candidates will be, not the voters anymore. It's a rigged system from the get go. I'd straighten that out first, hard to complain about election fraud when your own Party's hierarchy continues to do it.

They need to clean house, and quick...

As a radical, anti-establishment Democrat I agree.

Exactly. Wealth redistribution? Sure Bernie. Should we start with your bank account?
