15. I have defended Sanders and Biden as well.

I post positively AND negatively about the same candidates. My perspective is one of trying to be fair and accurate. I defend Gabbard more often because, for whatever reason, I see more (IMO) unjustified attacks on her. Same with Sanders, really. Some attacks are legit, but others are just some kind of knee-jerk hate, which disturbs me. And yes, I do see some positive things in Gabbard, though not enough for me to vote for her.

In fact, I just posted against a Gabbard point at https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287313194#post11

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
