(8,175 posts)Many of us disagree with your opinion. We see Sanders as more competent and more ethical.
I don't hate Hillary (I don't waste my energy on hating anyone, it's a very draining emotion that only hurts the hater) and I think she would be a better choice than many for President, certainly the GOP...but she is not as progressive as me and I don't like many of her positions and don't trust much of what she says in her campaign outreach, as I've seen too much evidence in her past of what she really stands for and will fight for if she becomes President. Some of it good...some of it bad. Too much of it bad to make me comfortable with her as President when we have a much better choice. She does not acknowledge and honor the valid grassroots movement that is sweeping the country. She will fight us (and already is) every way she can.
I don't see anything in Bernie's record that is bad, except that he needs to take a more progressive approach on gun control. And he's coming around on that. He has always been in favor of more/better gun control, but not as strong as I am. And because of his consistency, honesty and integrity, I trust him when he says things that show he's coming around on that.
So...you are welcome to your opinion, but I heartily disagree.
