But the Democrats are the lesser evil of two. Just because you vote in the lesser evil doesn't mean you can't fight it, later on. Bernie Sanders knew he most likely wouldn't win, so he focused on fighting the Greater Evil: Trump, and the MAGA mob.

Knew he most likely wouldn't win....

Then why did he ask for all of that money and act like he was going to win?

In 2020 he had the delegate lead going into SC before he folded as if he had the worst hand on the table.

Bernie is nothing more than the tamer of emotions. He will not fight for you in any real meaningful way. Time to leave Tio Bernie behind.
