Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI am a strong, life long Democrat. I intend to support
Bernie Sanders in the primary.
Why?
I support Bernie because of his stand up, progressive values and his stellar history of never wavering from his values.
Voting for him will demonstrate that the progressive movement is large and loud. Not some fringe, hippy element. We need our progressive values represented.
If Bernie's numbers are shockingly high then he will be able to leverage that into policy.
If Hillary is the nominee, then she can stand on the shoulders of the progressive movement knowing there are millions who support such values.
