This is what I like about Bernie Sanders

"If you don't have the guts to run for office on your ideas, then you shouldn't run for office at all."

Yeah, I got tons of problems with the way he is handling the BLM issue and I wont be happy until the African American community is happy, but I do believe him when he says this and I do believe he is truly an honest man.

May I ask what those problems are? As a Bernie supporter, I wish to know how he could better handle the issues. In my own opinion, I think he's doing well with it all. But then again, I'm me and I live inside my own mind. What could Bernie do better? And as a volunteer, perhaps I could help you?

Feel free to ignore me if you'd like. I'm glad you like Bernie, but I just wanna help you like him more.

I want to know your perspective, that's why I asked. That's how we, as people share ideas and thoughts. I don't intend to live inside my head and only there. That's closed mindedness.

I didn't imply there were no problems, only that I saw no problems and that in itself is my opinion. I didn't imply it was fact. If there is something I should see, please open my eyes to it. Perhaps my perspective could aid yours, and perhaps yours could aid mine.

Do not sigh and give up on me as if there is no hope, or faith in your fellow man. Do give reason a chance, and perhaps you'll be surprised.

You will find many angelically patient explanations. Particularly from bravenak.
