I was a proud supporter of Bernie Sanders during the 2016 Democratic primaries because of his bold, progressive stances on issues that I still believe represent the best path forward -- not only for the Democratic Party but for the future of our entire nation. Yet I knew Sanders wasn't perfect. On issues of racial justice, for instance, he was inadequate at best. And, of course, there was the "Bernie bro" culture surrounding his campaign, which was, frankly, off-putting.
