10. Criticizing the republicans is worthless - they cannot be reasoned with and they are a hopeless lot.

The Democrats have morals and should be able to absorb constructive criticism for the better. So, if a progressive without party affiliation has anything to say, I'm always happy to listen.

I like Bernie's policies, so I like him - period.

...and I have no idea what people talk about when they say he trashes the Democrats. I think we are mature enough to listen to honest criticism...if not, that is lame. You don't have to want to implement changes based on that criticism, but if it comes from a sincere progressive place, it is worth listening to.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
