My 68 year old father has unfortunately joined the ranks of the uninformed supporters. He use to be very politically informed. Voted for Hart, Mondale. Basically has a shrine to JFK. I asked him the other day if he believes what CNN says. He says of course. It is very frustrating to see this

My father got 100% brainwashed by Mark Levin. Turned him into a full blown winger.

November.

I am getting very conservative in my comments here at DU for fear I will be alerted or banned.

I am voting for Bernie because I clearly understand what he stands for, and he stands for me and US.

All with memberships that lean 3-1 for Bernie.

Are there other sites that are better informed that lean strongly Hillary?

I think a good percentage of Hillary supporters support her based on name recognition. I know I was one of them. Before I started visiting the Bernie Group I was a nominal Hillary supporter based on name recognition. I think one has to at least be follow politics a little bit to be a Bernie supporter, because he didn't start with the name recognition benefit Hillary has.
