African-American Male, Early Voter, Super Tuesday State

[Renaissance Man]

I reside in a Super Tuesday state, and I just early voted on the first day of early voting in my state for Senator Bernie Sanders.

I have been paying attention to politics for as long as I can remember, and I was sold on Senator Sanders from the moment that he decided that he would give a run for it. I hope that any black progressives reading this post will join me in voting for Senator Sanders. To me, his candidacy is transformational (even more than President Obama's), and I honestly believe that if we really want our country to be better, we have to be serious about the candidate that we bring into the general election. To me, the two characteristics that always influence my vote for any candidate are honesty and consistency. Bernie Sanders has been both of these for all of his political life.

To me, Senator Sanders is the only serious choice for not only our party, but also for our country.

NOT da banks!

5. I believe a Bernie Sanders appointed Party Chair could reform the Democratic Party to

better serve average Americans' needs.

I believe that Michael Bloomberg believes this too (hence his threatening to run if Hillary doesn't win the nomination).

Thanks for sharing your story.

37. boy howdy

My wife and I mailed ours in last week. If you live under Snyder and don't realize that it's time to take a bite out of crime then you're just not paying attention.

[Snotcicles]

38. I wish David Bonior would make another run for governor. nt

[deancr]

39. Yes!

[Enthusiast]

50. Take a bite out of crime!

I'm with you!

7. I'm in California and we don't vote until June. I'm afraid the primary will be over before we vote.

[amborin]

8. the primary race is just getting started; and CA is heating up for Bernie nt

[JRLeft]

10. We will see.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Look on the bright side JR

And it will be over by then... but we have plenty of things on local ballots that matter, My city, minimum wage is on the ballot

[nadinbrzezinski]

49. I honestly expect this to be decided by then

[JRLeft]

54. My city raised minimum wage, Walmart retaliated by announcing it's leaving.

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. I say, let them

[JRLeft]

57. I don't shop there, but I know people who are losing their job.

The economy is on the decline, finding work is difficult at the moment.

[nadinbrzezinski]

59. I understand

But Wally World is one reason at a meta level of why we are where we are.

[JRLeft]

60. Hopefully something better replaces it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

61. I hope so too

[JRLeft]

62. Last night I tried to convince friends and relatives to support Hillary if she's the nominee and all

them said he'll no. My cousin Rashad said he'd rather let republicans win than vote for her. I have some tough sledding ahead.

[rhett o rick]

63. Good for your city. A number of cities have not been able to get rid of them.

They are a blight.

[davidpdx]

53. I'm from Oregon and we are only a couple of weeks before California

So ours might not matter either. Don't get me wrong, I'll vote either way but it will be disappointing if it doesn't matter.

[nadinbrzezinski]

55. I go vote on things like the mayor's office

The presidency is well...and afterthought to me.

[Arazi]

9. Thank you for voting!

[angrychair]

11. Thanks RM!

I agree:

"To me, Senator Sanders is the only serious choice for not only our party, but also for our country."

[cui bono]

12. Agree completely. And he will strengthen the Democratic Party as well,

because he gives people a reason to care, a feeling that they can fight for things now because someone is leading the charge. Everyone else has gone too far center to do that any more.

13. There with you brotha

African American male voting for Sanders in NY. I have had to regulate some Rush Limbaugh types who took umbrage with my Bernie bumper sticker. For some reason they thought they could give me their ignorant opinion, but were surprised when I told them to fuck off. Definitely feeling the Bern. Those knuckle heads know I do now too.

[Agony]

18. awesome!

The Sanders campaign collected 85,000 petitions in NYS to get him on the ballot. Clinton collected 70,000

NY is off to a good start

[ChiciB1]

27. I Think I LOVE YOU! Really, Just Getting Your Attention

but I most certainly feel you've made the CORRECT decision. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why any POC or for that matter any person who's been continually and constantly screwed over by a Democratic Party that has changed SO DRAMATICALLY since the 80's and has left it's base with nothing but rhetoric as we tried to tell ourselves it wasn't happening.

Seems that so many of the once Great Democratic Leaders slowly morphed into what the old Republican Party was. Amazing how the American people continually vote for those who care nothing about them!

I've said this too many times now, but if SHE'S the nominees I'll have to vote for her, but then SHE CAN HAVE her Party! I'm no longer willing to play their game much less give them support. They'll have ALL THE POWER anyway. They won't be needing us anymore and a once GREAT AMERICA will keep putting band aids on the HUGE GAPING holes that has begun to swallow it up.

Thank you for your thoughtful post.

[jbrooks655]

64. Not a serious canidate, for me!!

I disagree, IF I can disagree, here at "The Bernie Sanders Underground"!

[blondie58]

65. I totally agree with you.

Bernie is the only way to make a difference.
Hillary would be more of the Same. And how does a politician amass so much Wealth? Her net worth is $31.3 million which Makes her one of the 1%.

[TryLogic]

66. Honesty and consistency. Yes. And for me it is integrity and good judgment.

Obviously it is Bernie. Very weak spots for Hillary.
