I have to get this off my chest [View all]

I woke up today to find bernie being called a racist since he is from small state.They ignore fact vermont voted heavily for obama In 2008 and 2012.They also ignore bernie's actual record.

In 1960's as young man he was involved in civil rights movement

He voted against DOMA which was signed into law by Bill Clinton

He voted against patriot act.a very brave thing to do

He has criticized police attacks

He opposes NSA eavesdropping program

The Hillary supporters are starting to piss me off

constantly comparing Bernie to Kucinich.Dismissing Bernie being elected statewide because vermont is small state.

bringing up age.she is only 6 years younger than Bernie.

Keep saying we should give up and get behind first female president.With stories like CLinton foundation donors got help from state department for arms we are least of her troubles.
