Voting for Hillary Clinton would have prevented so much harm.
Bernie Sanders brought a lot of voters to the table who wouldn’t have otherwise be interested in politics, they spent 8 years trashing the Democratic Party, ended up not voting for us anyway, and then announced they’d be fine with Trump winning.
So overall, 0 stars.
