(2,412 posts)I support Bernie. I want cruel economic differences to end. I support him because he will make poor people's lives better. As a middle class white woman with economic security, I see that having poor people suffer so is the greater evil. It is heartbreaking that parents have barely enough to provide a decent life for their children, and they work too hard and too long hours to be the kind of parents they want to be.
Also Bernie Sanders did not vote for the Iraq War like Hillary Clinton did. I have a moral problem with her vote since nearly a million people died in that war. Senator Sanders will not squander our tax dollars in foolish adventures overseas to help the oil companies while our children don't have enough to eat. War and Peace are THE WOMENS' ISSUES!
