I am not for Bernie, here is why.

I just haven't seen anything that tells me Bernie will get anything done. He talks about what is wrong with the system but how will he work with a republican congress and a senate, if they win again, to get his socialist agenda into law. What laws that he has proposed will pass. He is just too far to the left on these issues. I also think he is weak on national security he voted against the war, but that doesn't tell me how he would protect the nation. What experience does he have on national security. His talking points are great medicare for all, tuition free for college but there are just not enough details for me on how it will work. Hillary is not perfect, but I have followed her and Bill my whole life (I'm in my 40's) and I trust them I know Hillary will get things done, Bill did.

She will weaken social security, I believe.
And nothing she has done has "protected the nation" - we are now in worse jeopardy than before.
But - you vote for Hillary, I will vote for Bernie. Nothing in your OP even really seems logical to me.

She is so pro big business, and businesses that are vile. Pharma, health insurance, Wall Street, Frackers, Oil, Walmart, Monsanto....the list is a very sad one.

Please, list her accomplishments. For example, list her foreign policy accomplishments. I'm particularly interested in the ones where she was instrumental where violent conflict was avoided.

Thanks in advance.

Totally and completely in the bag for big business and does not give a rats ass for anyone below multimillionaire status... only time she gives a shit about us little people is when she needs votes...If she wins I am going to say the same thing I said the day nixon got elected "hang on to your ass, you are in for a hell of a ride and it will not end well" Fortunately or not there is a good chance she won't make it past the primaries and if she does odds are she canot win the GE, she shows somewhat ok for now against what the hand the R's are showing now but their hole card is a doozie....Watch and see...
