(3,246 posts)I support Bernie Sanders solely because I agree with his positions on the issues that are important to me, which include women's issues and social and economic justice. His gender and skin color don't matter. That he's Jewish doesn't matter. I voted twice for President Obama. The fact that he is black and I'm not made no difference to me. It would delight me to be able to cast a ballot for Sanders in the General election.
However, if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Nominee I will vote for her without hesitation. We are fortunate to have right now several candidates I would be happy to vote for. Of those on offer for the Republican party not one is worthy to hold the office of the President of the United States, not one.
Since I live in the blood red state of South Carolina, my vote will likely not make a bit of difference, but I'll still be voting and voting Democratic.
