To put it as simply as possible: I hate Bernie. Mainly because of the deep-seated misogyny of him and his campaign. At one point in his life, he wrote rape fantasy porn and when confronted with it refused to apologize. Some of his ardent followers, called Bernie Bros, are little more than incels, deeply misogynistic trolls who often threatened women politicos and those females who supported Hillary with rape and other physical violence. When asked about it, Bernie said he couldn't be held responsible for their actions and refused to even attempt to reign them in. Not only that, but his tepid and begrudging support of Hillary in the general election caused many of his supporters to either not go to the polls at all or to actually vote for Trump. As one of his ardent supporters, Susan Sarandon, said, "If people won't vote for Bernie, they deserve to have Trump." So, yes, I would vote for him VERY reluctantly. There are many more better and better rounded candidates.
