I know Bernie has his faults. That's not what got my dander up. The fact is being sexist is not among them.
Bernie's policies I am more inline with than Biden's. I'm no fan of plagiarism and will not be excited to vote for Biden (curiously in 1988 he was my first choice - but he blew that by his recitation of a Neil Kinnock speech that he claimed as his own. Aside: that was a quaint time. Plagiarism was sufficient grounds to end a Presidential campaign back then. Can you imagine?).
I'm old enough to remember McGovern - whom the kids also adored and then didn't show up for in the general. I fear the same would happen if Bernie were the nominee. If kids in the 70's had short attention spans, kids today have attention spans that are of insufficient duration to measure. Moreover, there are enough old farts my age who grew up fearing Godless Communism/Socialism and are still terrified by the mere mention of those words, notwithstanding the fact that none of them ever understood them - or will ever understand them.
So, I'm a likely Biden voter not because I think he is the best choice, but because I truly believe America is incapable of any better.
