I was a lifelong conservative. I voted for Reagan etc...I did give Bernie a look. The logic and the reason got to me. Now my friends and family who accused me of treason are now listening to what I am telling them. Why? Got to get past the big S word. So many misconceptions to overcome. But good news....There will be more like me. The ones that are reasonable can and will be persuaded. Bernie is right. The Progressives have been right on most things after all. I could name a few if you like.
