(33,525 posts)I wouldn't dream of voting for Bernie Sanders, both because I'm a Democrat, and because, as a scientist, I find, among other things, his misrepresentation that he knows even a shred of reality about climate change to be beneath contempt.
I note that his state was once the only state in the Union to generate all of its electricity in state without dumping dangerous fossil fuel waste into the atmosphere, a situation no longer true because of policies Sanders proudly endorses to this day.
Since I regard the climate as the most important issue of our times, I have zero use for this "I'm superior to Democrats" non-Democrat.
For me, being a "progressive" means caring about future generations, and repeating tiresome rhetoric that was fashionable in 1969 is simply showing contempt for future generations in my opinion.
You may be a Democrat, but I vote for Democrats consistently and always, unlike other "Democrats."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
