23. WEEEEELLLL, I Think I Might Have Heard It Earlier, LOL!

About 1/2 ago I just made my 4th $35 contribution. Shush, don't let my husband know, he thinks I've only done it 2 times. So no telling what the total will be by tonight. AND, I talked to my sister who has been a huge Hillary supporter on the phone last night and we talked a lot about politics. She knows I've been a gun ho activist for years and she started asking me lots of questions. I "think" I changed her mind and she's very stubborn too.

She only has basic cable connection and I watch FSTV and RT, plus she knows about my blogging. As with so many Democrats & people all over the U.S., she knew very little about Bernie so I told her about his "socialist" stands. Asked her what's wrong with socialism and she said nothing, so I went on. Filled her in on some of Bernie's platform and asked her what she thought, she agreed with everything issue I talked about, BUT she was unaware that he only takes money from "we the people" no Super Pacs. She liked this fact a lot.

And I didn't bash Hillary, but told her some reasons why I'm not supporting her. One thing I did say was while yes, it would be great if we had a woman in the WH, we shouldn't simply vote for a woman because we've never had one. Told her that I needed to feel a real connection with who I was voting for and Bernie Sanders is the first candidate I've ever felt as much respect for. But I did say I was extremely upset with so many Democrats who touted the same issues as he does don't seem to have really meant it. Some of the most Liberal candidates have come out in support of Hillary. Also about DWS and her apparent bias against Bernie. But even bias of almost all our so called Democratic Congressional leaders. My thoughts that these leaders are acting like Repukes and are walking in lock step as if they "got the memo" that Bernie needs to be ignored as a viable candidate. This to me seems that the Democratic Party I joined many years ago no longer represent the "big tent" theory, but still want to say they do. Behind the scenes too many Democrats are as connected to Wall Street as Repukes.

Unfortunately, she's older than me and doesn't have a PC so I can only send her written statements about what he believes. Seeing him on uTube and other places are much more effective.

Anyway, in the past she always stuck to her guns... this time she listened.
