2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Most Americans Don't Deserve Someone Like Bernie [View all]

I am blue n the face talking to other liberals here in Georgia.
Friends and family members that agree with me on most political issues won't even consider Bernie.
The won't even watch his stump speech on utube.
They just can't get past the word Socialist.
They claim that Bernie would be destroyed by Trump or any republican.
I've shown them the many polls showing Bernie doing better than Hillary against Trump.
They don't believe those polls.
So, here I am with all of this.
Someone smart once said that we get the government that we deserve.
Bernie is too good.
He's too honest and caring.
Most of us dint deserve someone like him yet. Sigh.
Maybe someday America will.
