Bernie Sanders: There is a change in the wind

He might have fluffy disoriented hair, but there is nothing about his policy that has wavered. His compass has always oriented to women's rights, gay rights, helping the poor, and racial equality.

If you want to claim he isn't exactly on target with issues, he's the wrong person to pick.

He is dedicated to reforms for Wall Street.

He is for increasing Social Security so that the vulnerable seniors among us have a safety net.

He is the candidate I will fight tooth and nail for. Because I will be fighting tooth and nail for the people in the USA.

As if supporting the most progressive candidate makes one a traitor. Sad if you think about it. Tells you how far to the right the party has gone.

It's like I should be ashamed that I don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton in the primary.

Well, I don't. So there.

Her campaign is to tell people it's up to them to connect with her.

If you can't then there's something wrong with you.

she lost in 2008. She demands that people connect with her, when we truly just want a leader we can gravitate toward.

You get that gravity by having an iron clad message.

this careening to the right. Seriously, our nation can't keep "austerity"-ing our way to hell.

We have some fundamental issues like roadways, bridges and other infrastructure that have got to be addressed. Wall Street needs to shut the fuck up for a minute and let some adults be in charge before they get their cookies.

to the Democratic party for supporting Bernie instead of Hillary is ridiculous.

What do we have primaries for? If Hillary is as inevitable as she was in 2008, get ready for President Scott Walker.

That will not happen on this voters watch. I will do everything I can to make sure that we do not suffer that consequence.

People didn't vote for her because people aren't keyed into her economic and overall idea of the future - because she doesn't have one.

Bernie Sanders has an idea, and has the structure behind it. This is why I support him. He believes in recreating our infrastructure, which is sorely lacking. That's jobs. He believes in examining our water supply - oh wait, more jobs. He believes in taming the horses of Wall Street - something that has long since been needed.

That's why I like him. He buttresses his arguments with actions.

I am completely in Bernie's camp. I doubt I will vote for the DINO HRC. He represents almost all of my beliefs, gun control the only outlier.

She represents almost none of my beliefs, maybe gay rights, but she just jumped on that ship when it became beneficial for her, having defended the Defense of Marraige Act in part.

I am working my butt off for Bernie, I can feel it! Or maybe that is just the walking.

I am working my butt off for him, too. I will not apologize for the folks I work hard to convince to vote for him.

If they don't vote for Hillary, that isn't my problem.

Nothing but sellouts and corporate whores since FDR.

But then my personal definition of a fascist douchnozzle is anyone who uses "socialist" as a pejorative.

going down this road again with a Republican in tidy clothing.

We need to build our nation back, and that requires hands getting dirty. You don't build a road with clean fingers.
