    If you are searching for a politician with a voting history that you 100% approve of, you show me that you don’t know politics. No such person exists. Same is true if you are searching for a leader that has never said something that concerns you. Lower your standard to 90%.

        Bernie falls far short of 90% too.

        You’re the same guy who said there was no difference between Trump and Clinton, right? Spare me your 2018 pragmatism. Your 2016 idealism was shameful.

        I love u HoarseWhisperer, but Shaun has evolved. He publicly stated that he was too hard on Hillary and took time to self reflect about his own sexism. I know Shaun's always trying to learn & grown, he's a good person, he was wrong about Hillary, but I dont hold it against him.

        Has he though? Or is he just trying to make an argument for Bernie right now? Cause I don’t see how he’s owned up to the role he played in the 2016 election.

        I'm not saying one way or the other re: bernie right now, but this fall, he publicly stated that he realized that sexism played a role in his dismissal of Hillary;he was contrite. Shaun is a good person, he does so much good, his support for bernie doesn't change that.

        His blind support for Sanders has spoken volumes about his political judgment.

        So you're asking people to support Bernie even though he refuses to support Dem candidates he doesn't 100% agree with. Why do you expect others to compromise but not Bernie? Seriously, I don't understand

        You helped put Trump in office by pushing the nonsense that Clinton was as bad as Trump. Every awful thing happening right now is on you, Bernie & his cult of followed. So NO he won’t get a first or second chance.

        You called Hillary & Trump two sides of the same coin, when they're POLAR OPPOSITES... and failed to see that Bernie & Trump really are two sides of the same coin: pervy old straight white guys who wont' release their taxes and claim to have all the answers but don't have a clue.
