In reply to the discussion: If Bernie isn't a "real" Dem, why does he owe Hillary any allegiance? [View all]PufPuf23
(9,684 posts)I can be a "good" Democrat as a voter and stay for the long term and criticize often and loud but a Democratic pol cannot do that and stay in good status with the Party.
You cannot say what does and doesn't matter to me.
You make a habit of projecting thoughts and disrespecting others at DU
I like that Sanders is frank. Hillary Clinton has spent a career in public life being disingenuous and parsing words.
I backed into Sanders as a candidate to support but Sanders is refreshing in that he is the first Democratic candidate to get this far towards POTUS since the 1970s as a New Deal Democrat. Surprised me.
I cannot comprehend how one could call themselves a feminist and support Hillary Clinton without criticism of her history.
That is not to say one should be for GOP or Sanders or not to be a supporter but Hillary Clinton has taken some outrageous acts counter to her rhetoric regards the well-being of women and children. How can this have missed your comprehension? You may well still support Clinton and note Clinton's rhetoric has not matched her actions regards to women and children.
No pol is perfect and neither are they a blank slate.
