19. Bernie promised us that he would fight for THE WHOLE CHICKEN.

That’s why I voted for Bernie in the TX primary. I would have voted for Elizabeth, but her campaign was not viable at that time. Bernie’s was. They both promised to fight for THE WHOLE CHICKEN.

Now, no other Democratic candidate is promising to fight for THE WHOLE CHICKEN. That’s not what I said in my post, above. I argue that the Democratic Party is now, once again, liberal enough to be OPEN to the idea that the people deserve THE WHOLE CHICKEN. That’s all I said (other than the fact that I think Bernie’s shooting himself in the foot by running against the only party that is open to his agenda).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
