(58,785 posts)Bernie supporters, including the radical minority I'm talking about.
It's the BEHAVIOR of some. Fortunately, they are a minority, but like the far right, they are so aggressive and hostile toward all who are not with them, so dishonest about what others believe, and so unable to respect or cooperate with others that this extreme obnoxiousness gives them a presence all out of proportion to their numbers.
Fortunately for America, most of Bernie's supporters are actually liberals with at least one and often both feet on the ground.
As for that issue, I've always been for marriage equality, and Hillary's religious views and how they have shaped her positions through her life are something that I will vote for her in spite of. Because she is a liberal who shares most of my principles and goals, she is knowledgeable and competent, she is electable, and she is far and away my more desirable choice for president.
