We cats would like to pen a letter to a cranky old man who loves to shout and finger-point — not something we'd want to tolerate for the next four years under the best of circumstances.
But considering the week that our country has just endured, we want it even less. We are all exhausted — more interested in where to buy a stash of toilet paper than hearing about income inequality. So, Bernie Sanders, hear our plea: Give up.
Is this ironic, considering that the countries best positioned to weather the coronavirus pandemic are those with universal healthcare? Yes. But even COVID-19 will not change this reality: The Democrats could sweep Senate races in all the low-hanging states, plus the iffy states, and still they would be short the crucial 60-vote margin for M4A because Vermont has a Republican Governor who would replace a newly elected President Sanders with a Republican Senator. Period, end of story.
And that's just on top of the fact that former Vice President Joe Biden is handily carrying the vote in demographics that Democrats will need to slaughter Trump in November.
Finally, there's this: Tuesday is another round of primaries. Biden is ahead by 43% in Florida, 30% in Illinois, 25% in Ohio, and 25% in Arizona.
Bernie, with all due respect: You are not more electable. Democratic voters are picking the man Trump so feared, he committed impeachable offenses to smear. Drop out. We cats HISS.
