21. Dem candidates don't fear each other. They want the same things.

They may have a different focus but I guarantee you whoever wins the dem nomination will be the next president. It's not about personalities it's about substance...what WE stand for and most of America stands for it too. The approach may be different but voters won't turn away if it's Bernie rather than Hillary. There is no logic to that statement. jk Remember who the first Democratic Socialist was...FDR who got elected to four terms. Democratic Socialism is the only form of government which both ensures our freedom and our survival. Free to vote how we want our government to work and free to decide how it can prevent a greedy few from destroying the planet, our environment and our economy. Deciding to make sure we all have what we need to survive (food, clean air and water) and decide to share the cost of being free with education, health care, voting rights, keeping jobs here at home and each paying their fair share in taxes.
Freedom from religious domination with separation of church and state. Bernie is the change and stands for what all the polls claim Americans want. He wins easily over all republican match ups...as does Clinton. The debates show...give a repub enough rope...
