(6,145 posts)Corporate money is not my biggest issue. Abortion, racism, education are my issues. To me, the candidates are about equal. And the Republicans are the anti-thesis of what I want for this country. So, I step aside in the primaries and let the two candidates duke it out. Whoever wins, I vote for. To protect abortion rights, to protect African-American issues, to protect K-12 education - not everyone is going to get to college.
I think Bernie supporters don't understand that different people have different issues that they prioritize. For example, I saw a list of the things that Hillary does or doesn't support and I was okay with it. Because the list was all negative, and didn't address what she DOES support.
Not to say I'm for Hillary, although I'm leaning Hillary. I'm leaning Hillary only because I'm overwhelmed with the bombardment of "only ignorant people vote for Hillary" that I hear in DU.
If Hillary doesn't float your boat, that's fine. Support Bernie. But understand, MY issues are at stake in November. And I will fight for them then.
