Do you feel a need to defend Bernie? Or yourself? [View all]

It appears that some people are feeling persecuted for their support of the Other Candidate...

I have seen no sign in myself of feeling persecuted by Hillary's supporters (although my mother has been locked out of DU by the Hillary stalking team), nor have any of the posts in this group (or outside the group) created a need to explain, defend, or make excuses for Bernie.

He's the real thing. A populist, progressive, socialist Democrat in the FDR mold. Hard-working honest, and successful.


The idea that we the Bernie supporters HATE Hillary is unfounded. What we hate is the policies she espouses, the flip-flopping, the callous remarks tossed off, and the definite possibility that the USA and the Democratic Party will decline much more precipitously in her care than without it.

We hate the way she sells herself to the highest bidders (corporations and billionaires like Warren Buffett).

We hate the war-mongering: past present and future.

We hate the minginess of of Hillary offering $12 minimum wage, when the people are demanding $15 (and are worth more than that).

We hate the high$$$ secretive meetings with select groups.

We hate the candidate, not the person. This is not the first time we've been offered a lemon, and we aren't buying.

Hillary is a great person, a loving mother and grandmother, and a wife whose value is above rubies. What she is not is Presidential.


It's Bernie--no excuses!
