(1,788 posts)I don't want bernie, I want someone who can connect with women POC, LGBT community, etc. That's not bernie. He has said that our concerns are "identity politics" as if that's bad. He was never vetted properly, and if he runs again, he will.
Here's an issue that he could show us he means to stand with Dems, not himself, and that would be CHIP. He is a sitting senator and I have yet to see him do anything about CHIP. This is healthcare for children...healthcare, his supposed thing. Why isn't he using his platform to shout about this. Nope, he just talks crap about Dems. I just see him caring about himself and not really for the people he claims to want to make changes for. This may be harsh for some, but I need him to prove to me that he stands for what he says, not just for himself, and that's what I see.
