Bernie, at the same time, has a stellar record on social issues including racial, gender, education, and all other issues.
Bernie is far more serious about representing our interests, yours and mine, than either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Just listen to Bernie. Hear what he has to say. Read his views. You will probably find that he is a much stronger candidate than Hillary.
Bernie voted against both Iraq Wars and at the time judged very accurately the situation and explained why it was wrong for us, unwise for us, to invade Iraq.
Hillary voted for the Iraq War (the second one). She does not have the good judgment that Bernie Sanders has. If you look at their records, you will understand why Bernie is the favorite here. We are, most of us, political junkies, really well informed. That's why we like Bernie so much. He is likely to gain supporters as time passes.
