Everyone likes their own candidate for some reason or other. I have my own concerns about Bernie as I do about each candidate but also like parts of all our candidates. And I will not attack your choice or even your opinion because you are expressing your concern which is legitimate debate. Even your slight snark saying "occasionally make a friend" is forgiveable given the directness of my OP but understand that NOONE was an attack and a smear.

And in this regard, the smear was recently. Her original statement was from 2018 but she also recently voluntarily affirmed by her after which she ADDED to them. I think you seem honest. Do you think her attacks are divisive or unifying. If he is not the primary winner will it help the winner unify or will young people feel totally disrespected. And if he is the candidate, do you think it helps him beat trump to have her inflame her supporters who already feel anger.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
