This Bernie Supporter Demands All Sanders/Biden Supporters Be Nice To Others PERIOD [View all]

As a Bernie Supporter I know many of you are angry at lots of stuff my friends. I too am tired of being robbed blind by the 1% while they literally steal from my family in plain sight. It is tough watching the people who are not willing to stand up to the power of MONEY getting in our way as we try to create a more fair, and just country. Going against 50 Trillion In Wealth will never be easy. Not for us, and not for Bernie, or Elizabeth, Joe or anyone else.

The 1% own the Republicans, and their money has a huge influence on GOOD DEMOCRATS. Whether they are "the establishment" or not it doesn't really matter. You need 50 million dollars to run for the Senate and where do you get it? From the wealthy in wine caves. It isn't right, but it is the current system. No one can do anything good unless they get elected, and they can't get elected without money regardless how noble their goals are. It truly sucks.

Money / Establishment is complicated. My advice to all is get Democrats elected, and work tirelessly to get the influence of money out of our politics, and restore DEMOCRACY where the power is with the people not just the 1% or the wealthy.

Now go forth and be nice. Not all rude people are Bernie Supporters, and this message is to all. This primary will be a good fight. We can all be nice, stand up for our candidates, and our principles, and our ideals. If we are not nice it makes the work of others meaningless.

We can't take back the Senate or the White House if we are acting like idiots.

From this point forward I will consider all rude people Russian Agents....

Now please don't suspend my account for telling the truth. Democrats are better people. Period. I count Bernie as a real Democrat. A different kind of Democrat. A Roosevelt Democrat. Remember him? Social Security. Unemployment. New Deal. You get it right.

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