I don't like Hillary's record and deeds and words and BFFs; I do like Liz Warren for the job. Simple as that, and it is, IMO, very sexist to expect that I would vote for such an important role based on gender, as if that was more important than anything else, or as if that was the only difference between Hillary and Bernie. That is saying I would support more war, fracking, the TPP, cluster bombs, increased H-1B visas, crippling student debt, private prisons, and the governance of Wall Street, if only the candidate who stands for those things was a man. Nope. That is, really, more magical thinking than anything Bernie has said.
