We feel confident that at this moment in history Hillary will be very effective in continuing the progressivist repair and advancement of our nation.
WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT is losing this election to a GOP candidate who as president will continue the corporatist and neofascist movement they've been working at for 40 years and have no intention of failing at.
We worry BIG that a rackety, intolerant, too-extreme candidate like Bernie would lose us everything and kill our leftward movement for at least the next 9 years.
We also worry that like the messages of contempt and rejection his too-impatient followers send out to those not already with him will repel the independents and Democrats whose votes Bernie must have. Bernie is running as a Democrat. Democrats want a candidate who shares their ideology, and these attitudes threaten to engulf and follow his campaign around like a poisonous miasma.
