Switching to TEAM BERNIE feels so good!

Call me a flip flopper. Call me a socialist. Call me naïve, but whatever you do don’t call me a BernieBro.
I wrote some diaries in support of Hillary Clinton back in Oct of this year. But since then I’ve done some searching and come to the decision that I cannot miss my chance to show America that we socialists are here and ready to lead!
Bernie Sanders is giving a voice to the America that I want us to become! Bernie Sanders is representing my world view on the national stage for the first time in my lifetime. I cannot overstate how good it feels to support Bernie, I feel the movement of our nation and know I’m trying to help move us in the correct direction.

Less than one year till Election Day there is much to do but if we work hard we can save the Ship of State from sinking. We’ve been rowing this ship for so long I think it time to drop our oars and put full stop on the 1% plans. Bernie Sanders is a American hero and we need to believe in him. I at first in this election cycle was scared that he couldn’t win. I feared if we lose 2016 it’s going to be hard to come back from. My wife support Bernie before me and during a discussion about policy I cried really hard. I cried because I knew I wanted Sen. Sanders to win because I believed in him, and I cried because I was scared it couldn’t happen. I clung to Hillary’s poll numbers to help me feel safe about next year. I cried long and hard thinking of what would happen if Trump/Graham/Carson were allowed to win, if we were too divided to come together. I can see now that clinging to anything even an acceptable candidate betrays democracy. I’m not supposed to vote based on what I think would win easily. I’m supposed to vote because I want to make my desires known.
Truth be told when I voted for Obama I half-hoped the Republicans were right. That he would be our first socialist president and stick it to them! He’s was in reality as he said, a democratic centrist, which is fine we needed him at that time of turmoil. Now we have a chance to move America forward in the greatest leap since FDR, We cannot afford to miss this chance.
I know in my heart that if we can elect Bernie his youth voter draw will sweep more democrats into office like ’08. Let’s do this! For social justice! For single payer! For every American!
I am a Proud America and I support Sen. Bernie Sanders For president of the United States in 2016.

He's right. We cannot afford to miss this chance.

Very soon. 
Bernie, but I Hillary will have a better chance in the general." I switched them both. Now, all my friends and family are Sanders' supporters.
Of course, as soon as all my friends and family became Sanders supporters, they became awful people. So, now, none of us speak to each other anymore.
But it was worth it. 
I've decided to just fake support Bernie so that everyone just gets along better.
on Thom Hartmann (mostly while driving) led me to think many, many times that "this guy should run for President." I may have even said so out loud.

And don't it feel good?!!!
I've supported Bernie since his official announcement speech in Burlington last spring. But before that I have been doing a lot of research on different economic systems and theories. I'm no capitalist OR communist and I dont usually call myself a socialist either. When economic systems come up in conversation I usually just define my stance as a progressive. But in reality my views line up almost directly with DEMOCRATIC Socialism. I do agree on many issues with Marxist Economist Richard Wolff and I have been studying up on Marxist Socialism (NOT communism) at Marxist.net. So far my views haven't changed. I am a proud progressive most of all.
