In reply to the discussion: Why are there Bernie Sanders supporters with Elizabeth Warren in the race? [View all]lostnfound
(17,527 posts)I didnt hate Hillary. Sanders was forcing the issue of income inequality and corporate influence consistently for his entire career. In my case, it is a matter of conscience that I not ignore the less fortunate. Hillary did some great things, which I respect, but was more centrist.
Im not the only one. About 90% of Sanders voters voted for Hillary Clinton in the general. Wish it had been 100%...but why beat up 10 of us for something that 1 out of 10 did? I had happy tears in my eyes voting for her, feeling that she would be a very good president and is as happy thinking that we would finally have a female president. I had no regrets about voting for her.
But Id pick Warren over Sanders now, in a heartbeat. Warren understands what Russia has done, and doesnt seem conflicted over it. She releases her tax returns, shes super smart, knowledgeable about banking, plus shes female.
Sanders is way down my list this time. I want someone who is crystal clear about Russian influence, and I dont want the market to tank. We need stability for a while.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
