    Yea he’s more left than Biden and significantly less system

    But if he’s running third party he’s not a left choice he’s a far right choice because voting for him is throwing away a vote that would otherwise go against trump

    I wanted to vote for Bernie so bad cause I think he’s the closest we’ve had to someone who actually cares about the people since maybe JFK (from what I’ve read he could be ducked up too) but I don’t trust any of these rich mfs who only care for profit and are on record doing terrible things
