Despite criticisms of Bernie fans, we aren't raving lunatics as y'all might make out.

Principled, pragmatic, effective. I think Bernie is all those things, and I value those things.

I like Bernie because he stands for something, he doesn't switch his position all the time for political expediency, and I feel I can really count on him to stand for the things I hold dear (at least in most part - nobody's perfect for anyone else).

I not only like Bernie Sanders, I love Bernie Sanders for President.
