I don't really care what he is labelled because both of the main political parties have been corrupted by the influence of money in politics. <br /><br />My opinion is that Bernie IS what the Democratic Party used to be, a party for working people rather than the big money interests. <br /><br />I know Bernie is not perfect, but he has demonstrated his authentic concern for issues affecting the middle class and those who aspire to it. <br /><br />Over the years, Bernie has demonstrated his courage, consistency and integrity, and that in itself is worth consideration, I think. For me, it is only because the Democratic party has moved so far to the right with the so-called "New Democrats" that Bernie has a chance. <br /><br />But, he DOES have a chance, and that is the point. The month of January is critical for volunteering for Bernie because February is the first of four primary states.<br /><br />A good showing then will validate his position as a Democratic candidate, and that is really important given how the DNC has acted toward him.~Chip :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02135986202917741607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091078896160115890.post-89691997343870419202015-12-31T20:32:13.217-08:002015-12-31T20:32:13.217-08:00EYE guess we aren't supposed to notice Hillary...EYE guess we aren't supposed to notice Hillary Clinton, PBO, AG Lynch, Joe Biden or any other democrat of record hasn't said a mumbling word about any of these issues. Again EYE say I will not vote for any democrat that doesn't address issues that are important to me. EYE don't care what race, gender, age or sexual orientation they are. I will no longer vote for the lessor of two evils, and for the first time ever I will not vote a straight democratic ticket. Just because you are on the democratic ticket doesn't mean you are a democrat, and if I wanted to vote for a republican I would be a republican.
