3. We will never get a perfect

candidate because it has been proven nobody is perfect. I dislike the fact that politicians tell us what we want to hear to gain office and then do what is "pragmatic" as far as they are concerned. Values? Which values would that be? I have the values I have been taught and then I have values I have decided were true and correct. As a young person for example I was taught that gay rights were something evil that should never be tolerated. I have learned during life as I grew up that that value was definitely incorrect and have long disregarded that teaching. So that is why I ask, what values are you talking about, what do you consider better than most? I see you are a Bernie supporter. I have followed him for years, and have almost constantly agreed with his values. I can't say that about too many other politicians.
