I'm old, white, liberal, female and disgusted.

46. I'm your same demographic

I started out as leaning Bernie but quickly becoming disenchanted for these reasons:
--got tired of his sanctimoniousness
--read up on his actual record in Congress and came away unimpressed. Ditto his pre-Senate biography
--read the details of his electoral platform and realized that the math did not add up and it was not achievable (confirmed in spades by his disastrous Daily News interview)
--became concerned by his refusal to talk about foreign relations, even in the aftermath of a disaster. Asked at the debate in November to speak about the Paris massacre, Sanders got out a few feeble words of sympathy and then launched into his standard anti-Wall Street speech. Sorry but POTUS has to deal with many issues around the world, not just his pet peeves
--got turned off by the quasi-religious fervor of many of his supporters who believed he just about literally walked on water and raised the dead
--when he started talking about starting a "movement," looked for any evidence that he had ever supported groups like OWS, and found none (making me question his authenticity as a grassroots populist)
--became frustrated when his supporters (I work with a few) denied, time and again, that 2+2 = 4
--got tired of the Bernie bros and their baseless, vicious anti-Hillary screeds which were lifted straight out of the GOP playbook
--was appalled when instead of condemning the violence of his supporters in Nevada and showing some leadership, Sanders fired off salvos complaining about the Democratic Party -- my party that I have belonged to all my life, the one he only joined last year -- and how it was being unfair to him

There, that felt good!
