In reply to the discussion: The rhetoric around "only Hillary can win!" is bad enough. [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)111. I love that Einstein hair look. I know a lot of seniors who get it. They are no less valuable.

Same as Obama wearing the same suits every day, he said it's just one less thing to think about when he's doing his job. Not all of us are that concerened about our looks or clothes. Bernie has things to do and places to be.
He seems younger every time I see new images of him, as the campaign is invigorating. There are pursuits in life that are not chores and onerous duties but call to one's highest nature. Energy flows to one to accomplish those seeking good goals.
Bernie is the ideal Democrat and the type I want to see in ofice. I have seen many good words and wishes by HRC and Obama fans for Bernie. The DNC amd Hillary have welcomed him. He may be the dark horse like Obama was, but I don't see him inspiring POC more than HRC currently.
That is the essential voting block. It's their time, and that of women, and it will benefit the nation. No one will be able to smear Bernie except on his ideas. It's time to have this debate in this country. This may be our last chance and if he doesn't get the nomination, I'll vote for whoever it is.
The GOP has shown that they take our vote, redefine who a person is, and many other things that would make fans of the bad guys in the Handmaiden's Tale very, very happy.
Besides, I don't want to live under direct Koch rule. They have almost got all they wanted on the state level now. Wait, I won't be able to live under Koch rule. So yeah, I do not approve of those saying they will not vote if their candidate is not the nominee. Because they don't care about the lives of me or people I care about. And that's the bottom line to me.

Uh. I'm not a bettin' man, but I suspect some of them did not vote for Obama.
