14. Neither Bernie nor HRC is going to roll back marriage equality

Nor is O'Malley or Biden if he gets in. I can't say the same thing about the Republicans btw.

In the real world I know several people that took a long while to change their mind about marriage equality, especially older people. All that cultural brainwashing and conservative religious propaganda they grew up with was a lot for them to overcome.

Personally I'm happy those people saw the light.

IMHO DU'ers obsessing about who was there first is a about distinction not a difference. I think it is mostly DU melodrama and a waste of time if the goal is to get Bernie the nomination.

I certainly don't see Bernie or his campaign bogged down in this.

There are lots of differences between HRC and Bernie that are more significant for real world voters.
