(850 posts)I seldom post here but I have been taken aback at the vicious posts about anything Sanders. I do not want to participate here because I do not want to be attacked for whomever I ultimately decide to vote for in a primary. I am still unsure as to whom I will vote for. I love the bold economic analyses of Sanders and Warren. I worry that with all the others that if any of them were to be elected absolutely nothing at all would be done about income equality. We are a wealthy country and should be able to do a lot more - health care should be available to all, along with education, etc. If that is unrealistic because we have to assume that forever and ever the Senate will be Republican maybe we should all just quit right now and never aim to make any major changes. How do you think the ACA got passed or the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Voting Rights Act of 1968? These things were done because of great grit and determination despite EVERYONE saying each of these laws would be impossible to pass. So, let's try not to be totally defeatist and especially let's not attack any of the candidates as being HORRIBLE people. None of them are (well - not so sure about Gabbard, but . . .). Thank you Average Joe. I really appreciate your post.
