driven by her hunger for it.

Sanders is a public servant who is running because of other people's hunger.

No amount is ever enough.
This is Bernie Sander's biggest strength and his biggest advantage.
He is not addicted to either.

purely for its own sake out of nothing but naked personal ambition, and the ruthlessness/ethically challenged nature of the tactics she and her supporters are using, calls to mind only one other American politician: Richard Milhous Nixon.

The parallels are far too numerous to ignore. She's Nixon in a pantsuit. Nothing more.

for supporting Bernie Sanders, I'm not.

I just don't believe we will see the changes this country desperately needs with her as President.

Can Bernie do it all by himself?

No, but I have more confidence in him doing everything in his power to fight for them.

He knows how fucked up our wealth distribution is and I believe will truly fight for change.

It has to.

We'll NEVER have a perfect President, but he knows what time it is when it comes to us getting screwed, and I believe he will give it his all to change that.

BTW, It's good to see you!

We'll never get this chance again in our lifetimes to elect our version of FDR. I believe we're going to see a big dis on the establishment from the voters this coming election (see pic below!!!).

Bernie knows what he's doing, as an economics professor explains:

As if he's running for president for selfish reasons. They just keep trying these Rovian projection attacks and don't realize how silly they sound.

He cares about the welfare of the country too much, and would never risk having a Republican as President.

I'm sure I'll be mocked for saying that by a certain group but you know what?

I don't give a flying fuck.

She may have been a valedictorian once, but lately she is starting to act like a student bully who steals the other children's homework.

Thank goodness there is an exceptionally smart and principled kid willing to stand up against her.
