(793 posts)I would like a world that has medicaire for all. I would like my daughters to not have huge college debt if they go to college. I would like less billionaires and everyone who works to have a living wage. Those are some of the things that he has stood for his whole career. I like the fact that he was right on the Iraq wars from the start. I don't mind that he voted afterwards to fund the troops which included funding their benefits. There are things I don't like that he has voted for but on balance I support him. I like Joe Biden as well although I don't like some of the things he supported in the past but that does not totally drown out what I like about him. The same with Bernie. Posting over and over that he is on the left and has not achieved single payer given American politics does not make me dislike him nor does it make me feel that no one likes him or no one wants to work with him as has been posted over and over. He was the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Caucus one of the largest in congress and made chairman 8 years in a row until he made the Senate. Among the people in that caucus who obviously didn't mind working with Bernie were Barnie Frank, Nancy Pelosi. The caucus dedicated itself for fighting for the things I want for America. When I see some of the ridiculous attacks on him daily, it makes me want to respond by saying Stop. Unify. Like who you like. Support who you want but don't beat others over the head if they like other candidates or favor other policies. Is that clear enough for you.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
