        oh for fuck's sake. It's so childish to want things like less war, healthcare for all, environmental justice, racial justice, etc.

        By "grow up," you mean vote for a warmonger who derailed Medicare for All in the 1990s?

        @nytimes if that is an attempt to reach out to sanders voters, it is wildly tone deaf.

        Yes, let's grow up and focus on a candidate's character rather than what he fights for. Sanders' campaign was never about him 1/2
