Bernie Sanders Has Stuck To The Same Message For 40 Years. hillary?...not so much.

19. We Bernie people do feel we are on high ground

compared to the established oligarchy and one of the oligarchy.s favorite investments.
We also have watched the economic decay of our country and we want better for ourselves and our children. We have been pushing the democratic party to the left because we believe it is best. Hillary while proclaiming once about her progressive credentials figured out that story wouldn't sell when you looked at her history and her previous stands on issues. Now as she moves to the left a bit, appearing to serve the oligarchy, and try to win the nomination in a highly rigged contest, she is labeling herself a moderate in an attempt to make us believe she can work across the aisle. Well I cannot dispute that she can work with republicans and it appears she and Trump are working hard together to create fear and Nationalism, which many feel supports a strong leader on foreign policy. It seems the republicans are just trying to drown out the differences between the 2 leading challengers in the democratic primary. Hillary too seems intent on concentrating on issues not really that important such as Bernie's belief that states and cities may be best implementing the gun restriction they feel best meets their needs, even though she said as much 2008. To many of us, Hillary's claims of differences are mostly made up or inconsequential, and on those issues such as economic inequality, taxation of the rich etc. which are very important to everyone Hillary tries to avoid discussion and certainly avoids debate. To a Bernie supporter, Bernie speaks frankly and tells us what we already know and then tells us what we must do about it. When we hear Hillary , we see a well groomed candidate feeding us the same parsed, high sounding but non-binding dialog as most politicians. We are not against Hillary, just the people she apparently will work for.
The most uttered reason we hear to vote for Hillary if she is nominated is that she is better than the republicans. We Bernie supporters will take over our party and return it to its rightful role of standing with the people, and many of us as proud democrats may have to decide which is the best way to do this. We progressives have been misused into supporting less than progressive candidates because of fear of republican presidents for a long time. The question is now, is it better to support losing , if we can start restoring the rightful mission of our party and a return to democracy. Maybe when Hillary loses, her fans will vilify us for not working harder or not voting for her, but when progressives lost, our party changed for the worse, maybe if an establishment third way semi-moderate loses, we can start to set things right. Yes we Bernie people look down on Hillary supporters as either unaware, or just afraid.
