(79 posts)Biden still believes in bipartisanship. Bernie has given up on republicans.

(15,140 posts)...comes more from an intellectual conclusion about what will create a better world sometimes, not from an overwhelming love of people in general. I know that things won't be good for the people I do care about unless everybody is treated well.
I've gotten pretty cynical about the bulk of humanity. By and large, people suck.

(25,368 posts)might be hard to work with, he's said so many times. He said he doesn't say Happy Birthday. His supporters don't seem to know this, or much about him at all, it's really strange. Why Tlaib booed Hillary Clinton. I quote Bernie all the time and his supporters have no idea it's him.
I thought it was not so nice to say that you were invited to the SOTU but didn't go because you didn't want to hang out with your colleagues and would prefer to be on The Late Show.
