Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Fundrasier

[malletgirl02]

So the big bombshell the Clinton supporters have against Bernie Sanders is that he attended a Democratic fundraiser? That is ridiculous! I am not a Sanders supporter, but the fact that Clinton supporters think that it is a strike against Sanders, not want to support her. If he didn't attend the fundraiser these same people would use it as an example that he doesn't support the Democratic party. This bizarre attack is making me more likely to support Sanders.

1. Welcome to the Happy Cult of the Hopeful

It's a tough political season, to be sure ...

Hope works for me ... Bernie's got it ...

2. Why not support Sanders based on his terrific platform on the issues?

I mean, the supporters of either camp should not be the deciding factor of your vote.

I mean, there's assholes on both sides. But Bernie really is pretty awesome.

6. I'm actually leaning towards Sanders

I am very impressed by his vote against the Iraq war. The war in Iraq has left a scar across the Middle East. Hilliary Clinton keeps on touting his foreign policy experience, her experience has been completely negative. She has supported every failed U.S. military intervention. I feel she uses other peoples blood to look tough.

7. Hmmm... She does seem to brag on that.

Personally, I really like Sanders message of unity. The whole idea behind the Political Revolution is that we are ALL required to make our government work. He needs our help as much as we need his help.

I like the feeling of purpose I get, from being reminded that my vote matters. My voice matters. This government is all of ours, not just the wealthiest people near the top.

I also want those who get wealthy off the labor of American workers and the system of our American economy to actually pay their share of taxes, and feed money BACK INTO the system that they got rich off of in the first place.

It's not healthy to just get rich off of an economy and give nothing back. The economy is an ecosystem, and it should be treated that way. Because if you're just earning from it and not feeding it back, you're a parasite, and you're just sucking it dry.

Those are my main reasons anyways, just thought I'd share that with you because maybe you'd like to know of other reasons Bernie's pretty fantastic.
