Bernie Sanders

(460 posts)Most of my friends around here are conservatives. They are not the mean "let em die" type conservatives that you see running for office. They are the old-fashioned "I miss the good old days" conservatives. We are mostly retired military. When us old guys get together for breakfast we usually talk a little about politics. I feel the Bern, and I am the only one. They all tell me that there is no way that America will ever elect a socialist. There is no amount of explaining that will convince them that Bernie is the right choice. All that I can do is vote for him. I live in the reddest of red states (Oklahoma) and know that he will not win here, but that is OK. I will vote for the best candidate instead of voting for the lessor of two evils. It will feel good for a change. He does have a chance of winning, and even if he doesn't, he has already shown that there are candidates that are not party hacks, and they do have a chance. Either way, I win.
