In reply to the discussion: Bernie Has NEVER Supported the GOP Nominee over a Democrat - Wish I could Say the Same for Clinton [View all]tomm2thumbs
(13,297 posts)I was a Hillary supporter initially. I even proposed a campaign logo for her. Years prior I had signed up for Bernie's Senatorial emails after he pushed for community health clinics in supporting ACA - a very selfless use of his vote. Never even once thought he was going to be a candidate. In time, I was interested in O'Malley and was following him for awhile but he never seemed to catch on and was a little cautious in interviews and it felt a bit 'prepared'. About that time, there was a growing number of posts about Bernie on DU and I was wondering why those folks didn't support O'Malley, a more 'typical-looking-candidate'. *I know, very biased opinion using appearance, but then I started to listen to Sanders, and read info on his campaign. I slowly grew into supporting him.
Hopefully this primary & election will all play out for the best interest of the country and we can support a candidate we are actually proud of and who's positions are representative of the country.
Your note threw me back into thinking of how'd I get here supporting this crazy guy with the wild hair!!!
