(9,067 posts)Gun control is important to me. Bernie is a problem on this issue, and that's one reason I don't think he's the best candidate.
He waffles - "sensible gun control" is a way of getting around effective controls. He says, "let's have an intelligent debate", but he won't debate - he lectures.
Bernie goes back again to economic justice. I disagree completely with his POV. Social justice is larger than just unemployment. Bernie doesn't get it.
I also don't like Bernie's "solutions" as only economic.
Bernie interrupts, argues and doesn't listen. The interviewer was focusing again on social justice, and Bernie wouldn't go there.
I'll vote for the Democratic candidate, and I've listened to Bernie for years. He's too simplistic and narrow on his economic plans. He also has an "under the table" tacit support that prevents effective gun control.
I don't think he's the best candidate for President on some issues.
