Can he count on your vote? Before you pull the lever for him, there’s something you should know. In addition to being a socialist, he’s also a terrible person. Apparently he recently expressed hope that Barack Obama would get cancer — and he’s not sorry about it:
People are criticizing me for wishing cancer on Obama. I say that having lost a parent to brain cancer after 12 years of fighting, and getting to see just how terrible our Healthcare system is, and I still think he deserves it or worse.

We aren’t exactly fans of Barack Obama. But we sure as hell don’t wish him harm.
Y'all are defending a war criminal who was in authority during the deportation of over 3 million immigrants, continued the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowed the continued poisoning of citizens in places like Flint, and also

recently bought an 11 million dollar home in Martha's Vinyard, and demonstrated privilege so great that he gives zero fucks about y'all.
Obama is part of the club that is going to let y'all burn in climate change.

Aren’t socialists supposed to be the compassionate ones?
Yeah, you don't need to be in Congress.

No no really, saying you hope a Democratic president gets malignant cancer is *the best* way to win a Democratic primary. Truly.

Also having lost a parent to cancer, I say wishing cancer upon anyone is the sign of a person not mature or compassionate enough to be seriously considered for any elected position. Seek counseling or something.

No one – NO ONE – deserves cancer. This is vile and says far more about you than him. https://t.co/E1ZJ89Rqzg

Oh well. At least he’s upfront about who he is.

Seek professional help, really.
