We're not voting for Bernie [View all]

He's a nice guy and all. But, we're voting for his policies.

That's why attacks against Bernie don't work.

That's why attacks against Trump don't work. His supporters also look at his policies first and foremost.

The difference between the two is not seen as personal but about political policy.

We are on the right side. We have honor, integrity, and the truth on our side. We believe science over any politician. We love our country and are doing our best to build a better world for our children.

That's why Bernie will win.

Ironically, it just might be our children that vote Bernie in.
