In reply to the discussion: As a Hillary supporter, and for the record [View all]aintitfunny
(1,424 posts)I recognize that we, as individuals and primarily Democrats, have a choice of candidates. We are fortunate to have less quantity and more quality. There are always reasons behind an individual's candidate selection. I do not feel that I must understand your preference in order to respect it.
I agree that Sanders has the message to win, and that message has won my attention and support. In my view we do need a political revolution to alter the course of this Nation back on the correct path for all of its citizens. There is much to like about Hillary Clinton, I don't have to agree with everything she has ever said or done to acknowledge that and respect her worthy efforts. I will add that Martin O'Malley was a great governor and his campaign also earns my respect.
I will strongly avoid turning my candidate's opponents into the bad guys, since that will only foster resentments and harm our chances in the General Election. Where there are policy differences I will state my opinion, hopefully with reason and without name calling.
I will support the Democratic nominee, no matter my preference during the Primary.
