Dear Editor:

As a lifelong Democrat reading Maureen Dowd's commentary "Still Feeling the Bern; Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic nomination, but won the soul of the party," I have a completely different take. Sanders, who isn't even a Democrat, hasn't won the soul of the party; he's been destroying it. And, in the process, doing immense harm to America.

Politically, I now feel homeless and fear that in 2024, for the third straight presidential election, neither major party will offer a nominee for whom I can, in good conscience, vote.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein
