101. Bernie

Fri Mar 18, 2016, 02:50 PM

Mar 2016

Hands down, being a progressive matters and holding true progressive values matters. I do not like Clintons position on fracking nor her stance on the TPP. I will support Bernie and others like him, until the Democratic Party adopts a similar platform. Let's wait to see what happens in the rest of the primaries, I have my values and I like to vote for someone versus against #Drumph or whoever. I vote by conscious not what other clucking ducks quack at me to do. I still think if Clinton was such a strong candidate she should have more delegates no? with the media, money, and name recognition she has? I don't know I wouldn't be so quick to just assume this is over. But whatever floats your boat, I have my candidate you have yours. I've donated the max allowable to Bernie, I won't be doing that for Clinton.
