Let's be clear about Bernie vs Hillary

[RobertEarl]

Most of us have been political junkies for a long long time.

Some of us proudly voted for McGovern!

So we have been watching the scene go down for a long time.

We have watched the Clintons for going on 25 years now, most of us voted for Bill, twice.

Through all of these years we have watched as the system ate up and discarded good progressive, liberal loving candidates who we knew, if given a seat of power, could change the system. We supported and voted for Obama because we had hope he could change the system, and in some ways he did.

Now we have Bernie. A politician who has been through the grinder, and he still stands. Indeed, he stands tall and has a real chance to wield our greatest aspirations for our country and our planet as POTUS.

Hillary is plan B for us. Plan B, because we see her as a fixture of the system, and if we have to, we will support her. But we have Bernie and therefore we have real hope to use him to change the system.

So......... if anyone continues to disrespect Bernie, expect a backlash. A backlash that comes from the pent-up frustrations of 30+ years of seeing our best hopes be trashed by the RW and even supposed friends.

We are sick of it.... we have a real champion in Bernie this time and we are ready and willing to fight. Do not be surprised by the reaction if you get in our way and show disrespect for us and our champion.

Thank you and have a nice day.

2. The plan B

Hillary is stretching to the left in the primaries. However if she is the nominee that she will boomerang back to the right where she is the most comfortable. Most of the energized electorate who support Bernie will stay at home if she is the nominee.

7. We'll be energized by the awfulness of the GOP nominee (NT)

3. Likewise if anyone continues to disrespect Hillary, expect a backlash.

We are sick of it also, Clinton is as much a champion to her supporters as you are of Sanders, this road goes both ways.

5. Fair enough.

"This road goes both ways". I will hold you up on that.

6. She is the wrong choice

She had a hand in this new trade deal and now she says she doesn't support it.

She is just one more in a long line of politicians who say one thing and do another. She is disrespecting you and me and the rest of the country!

Support for her is bad for the country. We've been pretty nice to the slams from the Hillary supporters and it hasn't sunk into their heads that Hillary is just like all the rest. I don't think the niceness is going to last.

8. Thank you!

the very first time I voted for a presidential candidate it was for McGovern! It really feels good to vote for something rather than against something

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Absolutely!

Well said.

[Doctor_J]

10. that's pretty much where I'm at.

Too old to vote for any more conservatives, period. Voting for Clinton will do nothing to improve the country. So I am sticking with Sanders.

12. Exactly!

[peacebird]

11. Bingo!

[GoneFishin]

13. Kick.

14. Gotcha! I'm All In!

But I've been his supporter a very long time ago. Thom Hartmann introduced him to me and THAT was before he decided to run!
