11. I am concerned

I like the sound of Sander's grand dreams as much as anyone - but I am worried that they will tank our economy and take my retirement savings with it. It troubles me that there has been no effort to explain how all this stuff gets paid for - and it's alarming that people who do ask how the economy can flourish in such a state get disparaged by the campaign. I resent that the Sanders campaign is dividing the great center of our party (just as Trump did) in order to tactically win the nomination. The tenor of the campaign speaks for itself. Lastly I am worried that I hear a lot of other people with these same concerns. Certainly no one wants to vote for Trump but no one wants to vote against their own self interest. The Sanders campaign has not given me confidence that they want nothing more than to blow things up. They don't speak to me. And I don't feel heard by them. Just my 2 cents. Thank you Lagomorph for bearing with me. This is stressful for everyone.

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