Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Haters, what exactly do you not like about his policies? [View all]radical noodle
(10,591 posts)I don't like "Medicare" for all, not because I don't want everyone to have health coverage but because I think it's not well thought out.
I don't like free college for all because there are so many who would abuse it (and I have good reason to believe that). I prefer student loan aid to those within certain financial categories who complete their course of studies with reasonable grades.
I don't like the way Bernie shouts constantly and reminds me of my abusive first husband.
I don't like the fact that Bernie thinks there should be no compromise, because he'll get nothing done.
I don't like the way he sulks when things aren't going his way.
I don't like his supporters who harass and verbally abuse those with different opinions and who disrupt debates (like last night), and he continually fails to confront the troublemakers.
I don't want a president who is 79 years old and has had a heart attack already but won't share his medical records after saying he would.
I don't like the way he changes his mind about rules depending on what's best for him at the moment.
I don't like those of his supporters trying to blackmail the party with their threat of not voting for another nominee.
And I really don't like him railing against OUR party that he won't join. I'm tired of being called "establishment," "neoliberal," and "elite."
I will say this... there was a time when I admired Senator Sanders but he's lost any good feelings I had for him in the last six years or so.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
