(10,149 posts)have agreed with his income disparity message 100% I just feel that Bernie is not complete presidential material. He does not have anywhere near the credentials that Hillary does. He does not have the temperament to be President. His best role is as an agitator. He's never shown himself to be a team player. I hope he sticks around and continues speaking out and demanding income equality. He is ahead of his time, unfortunately, this country is not ready to move as far to left as Bernie. This country does need to go left and become more socialist but it is only going to happen in increments. We must get control over congress before we're going to get much done.
I have to admit also that I just don't like Bernie as well anymore as I once did. I see a side to him I just don't like - bullying - and a good number of the supporters he has are just downright insensitive and immature - like young, aggressive boys. I don't feel that they are sensitive to women or POC. This is nowhere near ALL of his supporters - there are plenty of Sanders supporters who are wonderful, mature people who are sensitive towards these groups. I have the feeling that many of those supporters are either silent or have left this forum, hopefully just temporarily.
