In reply to the discussion: There are two types of Bernie Sanders supporters [View all]Fast Walker 52
(7,723 posts)1) Importantly, I meant the people who say "both parties are the same" drive me crazy, NOT the people who strongly support Bernie and think Hillary is too conservative/corporate.
2) A third important class of Bernie supporters would be young people who just got involved in politics for the first time.
3) In no way did I mean to disrespect Bernie supporters here, and I'm sorry if that was the impression. What I was trying to get at was that I thought that a lot of people who support Bernie were not regular Dems and were never going to seriously consider voting for Hillary. My opinion but based on what I've seen.
4) I am of the opinion that voting Dem at this point in time, no matter the candidate, is still better than letting any Republican into office.
5) particularly it's important to get Dems in control of Congress!
