In reply to the discussion: Hillary Supporters' strategy becomes clear [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)I followed Senator Sanders for some time before he announced he was running. I always admired him as someone who is very intelligent, very honest, and right on point on a myriad of issues. I thought it would really be great if he one day ran for President, but I thought he would not take it on because of his age and the stress of running. So when he did announce, I was overjoyed.
I totally understand everyone does not agree on the issues, but I do not understand why people stoop to make sleazy allegations against Bernie Sanders when they could instead just argue against his positions on issues. Making stuff up is not a substitute for a civilized political discussion, and in that regard your thread goes a long way to rebut a lot of incorrect information.
Thanks again, recommended
