He simply doesn't seem to be so cynical. There's a kind of cautious optimism about him.

He doesn't change his mind as the wind blows.


Well said. No cynical calculation. No pandering. No finger in the wind. No manipulation and smear.

Rock-solid principles and values, over decades. What a contrast. What a breath of fresh air.

Bernie not only cares more. His record SHOWS he cares more.

And on top of the many years of advocacy for civil rights and racial justice, he has NEVER engaged in race-baiting of other candidates, fabricated smears involving racism against other candidates, or pushed predatory neoliberal policies that disproportionately harm minorities...

...unlike the corporate candidate and her Third Way.

The more a candidate says, the better.

What they do isn't a metric for success, but as long as they talked about it...

Bless their hearts.

There are six things which the LORD hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,a false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers.
