(1,784 posts)Very well written. I'm my case, I am an older voter who will vote for Bernie in the CA Primary. I've voted for Carter, Dukakis, Mondale, Clinton, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, Obama for President. I've watched the Democratic Party move increasingly rightward. I voted for "Hope and Change " and watched Obama make a sharp right turn as soon as he got in office. I've watched our representatives in Washington get richer and richer while in office and get even richer once out of office. Public service isn't supposed to be about getting rich! And I'm appalled (but not surprised ) that the Convention in Philly has so many sponsors that are pro-TTP and anti-Affordable Care Act. (I won't get into what an abomination the ACA is.)
Bernie's values square more with my own. "The Amendment King " works well with others, but threatens to stop the gravy train, hence the lack of Superdelagates. And this Primary has been blatantly corrupt and rigged in Hillary's favor. So you can put me in the BOB category as well.
