I will be voting for Bernie Sanders ...

... because I want to vote for him. This has been true for a while.

However, today's DNC action is making me need to vote for him.

Some may see only the obvious distinction in the two verbs. To this, I say, never underestimate the motivation and will of a person betrayed and cornered.

I suspect this to be true of other Bernie supporters; and of course, I hope that is the case now.

Situation critical.

My mother needs her Social Security.
My sister works at the post office.

I can't see Hillary and her Wall Street buddies fighting for either of them. I know Bernie will.

It seems only one side can do wrong to some, the other is seemingly 'pure'.

I like Bernie a ton and would like to vote for him, but I find the rendering of garments by many of his supporters to be a big turn off.

... since it's been pretty evident in the recesses of my mind for quite a long time; yet it's definitely still an eye-opening moment for me that's just becoming a bit too frequent for my tastes.
