In reply to the discussion: NY Times Attends Clinton House Party in Iowa, Finds Instead MORE SANDERS SUPPORT In Evidence. [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)almost always votes Republican, mostly on the single issue of abortion, and he is very enthusiastic about Bernie. Of the few others I do have none that are excited about Hillary and many are hyped about Bernie.
Hillary's support right now seems to be a mile wide but only an inch deep. Bernie's is like a deep stream that is starting to swell with runoff from a downpour.
My best friend and I have had many talks about politics where I told him often that he is wasting his time voting for Republicans expecting them to ban abortion on a national scale. He started agreeing with me about the same time I realized that the Democrats will never give us single payer healthcare for the same reason, because we will then have no incentive to vote for them. We both believe that both major parties are generally screwing us.
