In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton supporters can't attack Bernie Sanders on policy [View all]PatrickforO
(14,573 posts)The reality is that this poster and many others have been in the forefront of attacks on Sanders for months, as well as the defense of Clinton.
I support Sanders because he represents where I stand on healthcare, Social Security, affordable college, corporate tax policy, the importance of aggressively addressing global warming, imposing stricter regulations on Wall Street, and overturning Citizens United in favor of short, government financed elections.
I do not support Clinton because she is too poll-driven, like a weather vane - pointing at wherever she thinks the majority opinion is rather than formulating her own opinions and sticking by them. She is too much a hawk, too friendly with the Wall Street banking lizards, and not friendly enough on the environment.
I do not think Sanders is sexist. I do not think Clinton is shrill or any of those other sexist names that have been applied to her. I do not think either are racist or are ignoring the BLM movement. I think both genuinely care about this nation. I just like Sanders better, and I have chosen to support him.
