(2,117 posts)Because if I had, it would be alerted on as refighting the primaries. It is my personal philosophy that every human being must be dedicated to growth and adjusting ones perspective when reality reveals that ones perspective needs growth.
In other words, we live and learn. Trumps win 2 years ago was an earthquake in the minds of all sane people. It forced me to reconsider my views. I thought Hillary could win the electoral college and was the strongest candidate. But my wishes about the electoral college and reality didnt align. So I took a second look at Sanders and realized we need him and his supporters, and that he has a lot of good ideas, and also that logic tells me he has a very good shot at winning the nomination in 2020 judging by the amount of support he had last time.
Hence, my current stance.
We always ridiculed George W for bragging that he never changes his mind about anything. Remember the whole flip flopper attacks on Kerry? Is that what you want to do to me now? Judge me for dedicating myself to changing my mind when it is right to do so?
My initial point stands. We need Sanders supporters. How are we going to win without them?
