#he will get his 1% or whatever from the anti-vaxx lunatics who still somehow want to vote for a 'democrat'

I was watching a docu-series on the late Senator Bobby Kennedy this morning (I was trying to get a feel for how his son might campaign just in case he becomes a viable candidate. I still want Biden and will vote for him anyways due to the real fear that Trump is determined to snatch that primary nom but I am curious) and I got all teary-eyed when Congressman Lewis appeared on screen to talk about Bobby's work and being one of the only few white politicians at MLK Jr's funeral. And I remembered Bernie Sanders making this remark about John Lewis being a part of the Establishment and it filled me with so much anger that I had to get up and leave the room. Like this man marched side by side with Rev. King in Montgomery, Alabama and was beaten near to death by the police. This is a giant of the Civil Rights Era. And Bernie Sanders from lily white Vermont has the nerve, the audacity to call him part of the Establishment??

It just makes me so angry. So unbelievably angry and sad.

Well you see, as usual, Bernie Sanders knows almost nothing about American politics, and/or American racism. So.

Also: I don't think you can use anything about RFK Sr. to learn absolutely anything about RFK Jr. He's a joke candidate: an extreme anti-vaxxer backed by the likes of Steve Bannon, which should tell you all you need to know, purposefully thrown into the "Democratic" primary on some vague idea that he can siphon off votes from the most clueless people in America who see the Kennedy name and nothing more. He is not a viable candidate and should not be treated like one in any way, so yes, you owe him absolutely squat in terms of time, attention, or acting like he is a serious or good-faith contributor to anything whatsoever about the primary process.
