I have not spoken about the primaries and I don't want to take sides

[Maraya1969]

because I am a democrat and I will vote for whoever wins the primary. I do not want to say anything bad about who is in the primary because they may be our next presidential candidate.

That being said I am very grateful that Bernie Sanders has opened up the dialogue about the plight of the middle class, the terrible wealth inequality and a host of other things that up until now politicians have been kind of quiet about.

I also think that he is affecting Hillary and her perspective. Just looking at how people react to Bernie is a wake up call.

So I think this is a win win and I'm glad it is happening.

1. I'm a Common Sense Sanders voter who appreciates your view

and shares it.

[unblock]

2. i haven't said much either. i've always been *way* more interested in the general election

and in house/senate races and control.

6. I work GOTV here in NC and don't need added obstacles put there

by my own side via primary battles. The intense negativity makes it harder for purple state Dems.

3. "I also think that he is affecting Hillary and her perspective. " Bernie is only affecting

Hillary's campaign rhetoric.

8. Right

11. That is ridiculous! I didn't say who I would vote for and I won't say

There are probably a lot of things Bernie has learned from Hillary too.

It's called being 'united"

9. I take sides because the candidates are on two distinct sides

Not since 1972 have we had this much of a devide between the democratic candidates ,thats why people are in each others faces .Its hard foe me to be passive in this election I agree with Bernie as much as I did with George McGovern in 72 .Maybe some of us old farts are as fired up as we were when we had ideals about peace and equality .

10. I can agree with this ...

NOT for me, because I am a Progressive Democrat before I am a Democrat ....

But I do agree with your commentary ... Well said ...
