13. Well, there's not reason to swear

to Christ. It's clearly obvious you don't like Bernie. It does not change the fact that there are millions that still like the man and what he stands for. Swearing won't fix anything. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I see it as a plus that he is one of the few that actually leans left, far left.

The point here is the democrats have to change something. The same old same old has not worked in the past 2 out of 3 elections. If nothing changes, get use to losing. I'm not read for that. Now I'm sure you'll finally get to the point that Bernie is an independent, that runs as a democrat. Many people here hate him for that. I say who cares. He leans to the left big time. I see that as a positive sign. There isn't a piece of right in anything this man stands for. Yet there are many, like yourself, that absolutely refuse to listen just because he claims the be a democratic socialist. Grow up. Your future depends on it.

I vote for a person based on their policies. And the correct policies are what will make this country a great place to live in the future. No more giving tax breaks to the rich. No more denying people the right to healthcare. No more dividing the country. No more big money in politics. No more charging people ridiculous prices to get an education. I can go on and on.

So quit your whining over something Bernie said that got under your skin. Look at the big picture and quit holding grudges. Bernie is all about US. Always has been about US.

So I don't really care who we vote for. It could be Bernie(which it wont be, due to age), Mary, Bob, Cindy, Joe....anyone..... As long as they represent all the people in this country with workable policies.

Lord only knows what will happen over the next 4 years. I don't see it as a good thing for anyone but the rich. I will tell you this. If our democracy is still in tact then, it will be the last time we will have, to save it. Once you lose that, you may never get it back.
