Bernie Sanders is a good man.
Not to say any other candidate isn’t a good person!
Bernie doesn’t believe in utilizing SuperPACs, which he says corrupts our political system, by giving the wealthy and corporations too much control over our political process.
Not to say that taking money from SuperPACs is bad; maybe Bernie is wrong and the wealthy SHOULD be able to have more say than the non-wealthy! Either is probably a fair argument — let’s not say there’s a right or wrong here, OK?
Bernie tends to lean away from war, and famously voted against the Iraq War, which ended up being, quite possibly, the biggest congressional mistake in the history of our country.
Not to say that voting for the war was bad; I’m sure those who voted for it had excellent reasons, and even if not, shouldn’t be ridiculed. Everyone makes mistakes.
Bernie dislikes the big banks for causing the crash and mega-recession of 2008, and wants to enact laws to prevent them from being able to do it again.
Not to say that supporting big banks is bad. I mean, if big banks are your friends, isn’t it a positive thing to be a loyal friend? That should be applauded too, right?
Bernie believes that healthcare is a human right, and that EVERYONE in America should be covered, regardless of economic stature or ability to pay.
Not to say that those who believe we are close enough to full coverage is bad. I mean, 30 million SOUNDS like a lot of uncovered people, but compared to 300 million, it’s a pretty small number, wouldn’t you agree? Probably good enough!
Bernie has supported gay rights for decades, and was one of the very first prominent politicians to support gay marriage.
Not to say that supporting it early is important. Who cares? I mean, as long as you support it eventually, even if fifteen or twenty years later, you should be fully applauded, and it’s EXACTLY the same as being an early supporter, or at least close enough.
Bernie, as a young man in college, was arrested for protesting segregation in housing.
Not to say that, just as an example, if you supported someone who fully disagreed with civil rights legislation, that would necessarily be a bad thing. Maybe it’s good to mingle in many different positions on issues to see which one you’re most comfortable with, right? I mean, how many people buy the very first pair of shoes they try on? Moving back and forth is OK, and is the sign of a strong mind, I think. Definitely shouldn’t be ridiculed. It’s all good.
I would like to suggest you vote for Bernie Sanders, but it’s OK if you vote for the other candidate, too. As I’ve shown above, it would be unfair to judge the other candidate for the issues above, and I'm sure it would be a fine vote, too. It would be uncivil and offensive to think otherwise.
Thanks for reading.
