(14,746 posts)He supports them. This one candidate that he supported in spite of this candidates anti-abortion views because he felt he was the best overall candidate even though he was not on the same page as most Democrats on this one issue, is being used to conveniently dismiss Bernie's entire political platform and reputation.
I also think its a little disingenuous for some here to be railing against Bernie who personally is pro choice. because he declines the D in front of his name, yet, presumedly, they would value someone like a Heath Mello over Bernie Sanders, because he does wear the holy D. It makes no sense.
Hey, it may even be a mistake. But I didn't agree with a few of Hillary's actions and connections either yet I still supported her for President. She made a few mistakes including using a private email server for government business. I don't write off her entire reputation because of that mistake.
