When It Comes to Hillary Clinton Versus Bernie Sanders, One Image Says It All

171. Please help us out with your concerns...

From what I'm gathering here:

1) You are concerned about his position on trade:
- I think politicians can be against what was "arranged" with TPP and TPA and still want to have healthy "trade" to happen.
- Trade shouldn't be about a race to the bottom (and creating those bottoms to be even more of a gold mine for the wealthy in control of corporations who benefit from them). It should be about us exchanging products and services that we can't produce on our own because of geography or native plants and animal species in different areas, etc. What are your specific concerns in the area of trade that you have with Bernie's stated positions?

2) Gun Control issues:
- Different parts of the country have different concerns about the presence of guns in their locales and the effects on their communities. For the most part Vermont is a rural society where most guns are used for hunting, that most people don't have a problem with done in a properly regulated fashion. Howard Dean, though also progressive on most other issues, was also not hard nosed about heavily controlling guns in Vermont either, but said he would shift in how he would regulate guns at a national level. When Bernie is given an F rating by the NRA, that tells me he isn't their "servant".
- I would much rather have someone that listens to their constituents and their locales on how to deal with issues like guns than someone like Feinstein, who heavily advocated publicly some newer gun control legislation right after the Sandy Hook tragedy when the newer senate term started then, and at the very same time she was "trying to pass this", she was one of just a FEW Democrats that voted against proposed filibuster reform rules proposed by Senator Merkley and Udall that would have allowed this bill to get actually passed instead of stopped by the obstructionist Republicans the way it did. Why did she support filibuster obstructionism then, and yet voted for Fast Track authority that in effect prevents the filibuster from being used on trade bills. Doesn't add up with senators like Feinstein in terms of them working and voting on "principles".

If you have other areas of issues that you have with Bernie's stances on them, please come out and be more explicit and state what they are. That way we can have a rational conversation on whether they are valid or not.
