Looking at the voting for the Democrat candidate to take on Donald Trump it is looking as it's Joe Biden who is going to get the nod over Bernie Sanders which is a shame because i have been somehow been with the Sanders campaign since the beginning after getting onto their email list.
I have been getting regular daily updates from the Campaign Manager, Faiz Shakir, for months and each email has a big CONTRIBUTE button at the bottom for me to send $2.70 although it got a bit confusing as each email over the course of the past few months has said that this is the most important time for contributions and they are counting on me to click the big blue button. I never.
I did sort of have Bernie to thank though for fixing the light outside my garage as one email said what can they do for me and i cheekily replied contact the Council and get them to put in a new bulb and about two weeks later it was done so in my mind, it was thanks to Bernie but i actually know it was just my light bulbs turn to be replaced by some Council Worker with a step ladder.
The thing about Bernie Sanders is that he came out as a Socialist which in the mind of older and less savvy Americans is the same as Communist and their minds go straight to the USSR and Joe Stalin or China's Chairman Mao, the more switched on younger ones seem to have a clue though which is encouraging.
As for Biden versus Trump, i don't know much about Biden or his policies but i am hearing him being described as 'a safe pair of hands' and the Politco website has a quick run down of his major policy standpoints which all seem pretty standard fare.
In every poll where it is Trump versus Biden, Biden triumphs so it seems Trump's time may well be coming to and end and America may be getting a grown up back in the White House which is good for America i guess but Socialism's time in America has not come just yet as voters sticks with the old, white men but hopes are Socialists hopes are apparently high for Ms Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the future.
Still, sorry to see you go Bernie but thanks for the light bulb, i appreciate it.
