what bernie's messaging broadcast - clearly - was that he was more concerned about winning the votes of religious conservatives than almost anything else. and, what does that say about bernie?
you can be cynical, but at some point you have to ask the question, "what side are you on?". and, bernie clearly broadcast that he's on the side of religion, which struck him from my list of possible support candidates.
but, you have to support him on the budget committee, anyways. these chances are few and far between. it could be another 50 years. don't fuck this up.
