Bernie Sanders

(5,279 posts)I would never support or debase Bernie as a man.
This transcends sex. It is a question of who is the better candidate for POTUS based on merit, history, and stated directions to lead the country.
Not who was attacked at some point for whatever.
Not who has suffered more.
Not who might be first whatever.
Not on how much somebody may want it.
Not who was declared an outsider by anyone for whatever reason.
But on who, between the two possibilities, would be a better public servant to the largest majority of us for the next 4 years (and maybe beyond).
Frankly I am tired of people calling me names in anger because they haven't given me cause to change my mind. I have carefully thought about this for years. I know what I wanted in a candidate. Bernie Sanders is the closest to ideal in forty years.
