92. I like Sanders

Thu Dec 24, 2015, 11:53 PM

Dec 2015

He's not my first preference because of a few issues I disagree with him on (and also because he will be very easily smeared by billions of dollars of Republican lies), but I've always been clear that I'm okay with Sanders himself.

His supporters through. Man do they seem to hate the Democratic party. And how the hell are we going to win an election with Sanders, with people like them attacking anyone who isn't 150% feeling a Bern?

But I've told fellow Hillary supporters time and time again, don't hold the extremists who like a candidate against the candidate himself. (By the way, this goes both ways, there are some more moderate Wall Street types who want Hillary, and that's not a terrible thing, because there are reasonable financiers who don't deserved to be demonized just as there are reasonable Muslims who don't deserve that either.)

I will be very glad when this primary season is over. However it turns out.
