I’m no Bernie Supporter. As much as it pains me to say this, Hillary is likely the best candidate running in all parties for many reasons- not just electability.

I’m choosing the candidate who has more reasonable goals, a clear plan to achieve them with both domestic and international experience.

What’s ridiculous is your assumption that I made my decision based on my distaste of the Bernie bro.

My mind is/has been set. I am going to caucus for Hillary tomorrow for a few reasons.

One point of contention between them (I think at the last debate) was that Bernie was talking about how disppointed people were in Obama. He promised all these wonderful things, but couldn’t deliver. And I think he’s right, that people have been disappointed...but does he really think the outcome of his presidency

After encountering Berniebros, I’ve been mulling that over too. On many issues Clinton and Sanders are similar (I’ve heard there is greater than 80% agreement on concrete issues), so a lot of people are probably making their decisions on feelings for the candidate, public speaking style... That leaves a lot of room

Of course everybody wants what Bernie wants. The problem is that there’s no way he can deliver. We already elected a dreamer and the GOP has made it their life’s work to discredit him. I want someone who knows how to get things done.

Exactly. Obama energized black Americans to come out and vote. No one reputable chastised them for it. It’s significant for our country to elect a woman president and I can see why it matters so much to older feminists especially. I’m reminded of an elderly woman meeting Secretary Clinton and how meaningful it was to

Everyone seems to think that saying “I’m voting for Clinton because she’s a woman” really means “I’m *only* voting for Clinton because she’s a woman, and I obviously just haven’t *researched* enough and only vote on genitalia”

Yeeeah I used to feel this way, and then I started researching Bernie. And then I started researching Hillary. And man, now my heart and head both want me to vote for Hillary.

I’m supporting Clinton because I think she’ll be a better general election candidate than Sanders and I think she’ll be a better president too. However I am also supporting her because she’s a woman. And everytime I see any sort of criticism of that line of thinking it just reinforces my belief that we have to

I wish I had saved the tweet somewhere, but I feel it was the most accurate statement of how I feel about both candidates.

“A few weeks ago, a man emailed me to “congratulate” me for “overcoming my gender” and voting for Bernie Sanders.”

Yeah, guys, I’m not calling for a White Entertainment Network or a Men’s History Month, OR a straight pride parade, so what’s going on with your shit, guys?

Jenner is, was, and it looks like always will be shit. News at 10. (Also not surprised that super bigoted privileged man becomes bigoted privileged trans women. Not like you transition and instantly have your entire life experiences and worldview changed. Shit in, shit out.)

I understand. Plenty in the media however have given her a pass for awful shit she has said. Others have suggested if you dislike her you are transphobic. No, she’s just a total bitch and all around asshole.

Caitlyn Jenner is an asshole, just as Bruce Jenner was. She changed her outside only. I have no idea why she gets a pass on her awfulness.

THIS SO MUCH! Hillary can’t freaking win. If she set it up, people would say that she appears disingenuous. So she used actual footage from an actual campaign event, and now she’s exploitative.

Oh I’ll vote vote for him. He’ll win Vermont and Massachusetts in the general election. But the Republican Party, who is strategically silent on Bernie criticism for now, would ruin him within a week of a nomination.

Thank you! This is important - A) because the republican party is a dumpster fire on pretty much everything, but immigration is a big one, and for all their concerns about the life of fetuses, they don’t worry about actual human American children, and B) because of Hillary’s “likability” problem where everyone always
