Dalhi Myers told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she was making the change in part because she values what she sees as Sanders’ strength in being able to go toe-to-toe with President Donald Trump in the general election.

“I looked at that, and I thought, ‘He’s right,’” said Myers, a black woman first elected to the Richland County Council in 2016. “He’s unafraid and he’s unapologetic. ... I like the fact that he is willing to fight for a better America — for the least, the fallen, the left behind.”

Myers said she started to feel that Biden’s candidacy, while familiar and perhaps comfortable, wasn’t going to be enough to inspire the young voters whom she sees as necessary to a Democratic general election win.

He didn't like the message so she's "lazy" - that's about the gist of it.

7. She thinks it's a safe choice because he won't pass anything

"When questioned how someone who considered herself a conservative Democrat could support a candidate like Sanders, whose proposals including 'Medicare for All' suggest government growth on an as-yet unknown scale, Myers said she did have some concerns but expressed doubt that such measures would ever become law without changes."

That's kind of weird.

8. The Sanders hate is pretty pathetic on the DU

anyone else that post an endorsement for their candidate its fine. Some of other people's choices even say that it is a good endorsement.

But if anyone post anything about someone endorsement of Sanders its an all out attack on either the person who gave their endorsement to Sanders or the writer who writes about the endorsement. Or how the endorsement means nothing.
