minus-square@Boddhisatvalink10•5 months agoImagine how much differently the pandemic would have played out with Bernie at the helm. He wouldn’t have thrown away the existing pandemic response plan that the Obama administration had left behind. He wouldn’t have delayed the response to the emerging pandemic because it was primarily hitting areas governed by a different political party. He wouldn’t have had the federal government seizing PPE equipment from states and businesses in order to redistribute it where it would do him the most good politically. Millions of people would be alive today if Trump hadn’t been in charge when the pandemic hit.
