"There is a real question whether democracy is going to remain in the United States of America," Sanders said.

Some politicians are so fearful of former President Donald Trump retaking the White House that “they don’t really want to tell the full truth,” West said. “[Biden has] created the best economy that we can get. Is this the best that we can get? You don’t tell that lie to the people just for Biden to win,” West said in a clip played on CNN Sunday.

      I just wish he had learned that lesson for the 2016 election already and had been properly vocal back then. The US (and world) would be in a much better place now if Trump never had become president.

        Yeah me too.

        I think it was his personal antipathy towards Hillary. Which I think given his history of working with women was basically sexism. I’m glad he’s on-side now but the world would be very different if he had gotten over himself 8 years ago.

          bernie supported hilary after the primary, and i would guess basically all of the people who voted for him in 2016 ultimately went on to vote for a woman, whether it was hilary or jill stein.

          this accusation of sexism is pure character assassination.

            Is it? Have you seen how he acted with Elizabeth Warren? I wouldn’t exactly call his support for Hillary full-throated, especially compared to his support of Biden. And I certainly wouldn’t say he exactly has a great record with women politicians.
