Should I act surprised when Our Revolution endorsees endorse Bernie Sanders? [View all]

Very good Congress members or officials have endorsed Bernie Sanders recently.

Namely, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-cortez And Ilhan Omar, all of whom owe their victoriesb in great part to the Bernie Sanders' aligned Our Revolution PAC, founded by his national co-chair Nina Turner.

Should we go "OMG this is huge" every time these Our Revolution candidates endorse the candidate that everyone expected them to endorse?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
