Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why I Work Against Bernie Sanders During the Primaries [View all]
It is his campaign staff, which includes several people high in the organization who are proud to have voted for Jill Stein in the 2016 General Election. Rather than vote for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, they voted for Jill Stein to help spoil that election.
Bernie Sanders knows that about them, yet he hired them to represent him in the 2020 primary race. Why? I don't know the answer to that question, and I don't know that anyone has asked him that question, at least in a public forum.
As a Democrat, of course I will vote for the Democratic Nominee this November, no matter who it is. But, I will not do anything to help Bernie Sanders get that nomination - for the reason written above in this post.
I do not trust Senator Sanders' judgment, based on his choices for who runs his campaign. Not one bit. Why would a primary candidate, running as a Democrat, choose proud third-party voters for high positions on his staff? What other choices would he make, if elected as President, that go against the principles of the Democratic Party?
I'm sorry, but that's a non-negotiable thing for me during the primary race. You can make whatever argument you wish, but that is a non-starter for me in the primary elections. If voters decide to make him the nominee by voting for Senator Sanders and gain enough delegates to make him the nominee, then I'll vote for him in November. I sure hope I do not have to do that, though.
Proud Jill Stein voters lead his campaign staff. No, thank you, Bernie. Not for me.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
