27. I know it may be hard to understand

for some but actually yes, I would. I also know many other Sanders supporters would as well.

I respect Sanders because he believes in a bottom to the top revolution and style of leadership. He has long history of integrity, congruency, and consistency. He is honest even to the point of having to come back later and say that maybe he should not have said that. I respect him. More polled respect him than they do Clinton.

She has a history of lies, deceit, and pushing a leadership style from the top. Neoliberals know what are good for us hippie leftists. Hell Rahm called us 'retards'!

So yes, if 32 executives only of an organization had decided without polling their membership that Sanders was their choice for an endorsement I would question it and be upset.
