Barack_America (25,723 posts) Shocker of my day, my Republican mother is for Bernie...For a little backstory, my mother has historically been for the Republican "brand"; certainly not a true conservative, but a reliable Republican voter. She's the typical "bitter" Caucasian voter that Obama got scolded for accurately describing, convinced her opportunities and fruits of her labor were taken from her and handed down to "moochers". Even before Reagan. The Bush and tea party eras were enough to sour her of self-identifying as Republican, but she has still never voted for a Dem. I knew she would never in a million years vote for a Clinton, and I knew she would hate Trump, so I was very curious how she was leaning this year. I pegged her as either siding with a Republican "also ran", or, more likely, just sitting the election out. Imagine my surprise when she announced, "I like Sanders, I think I'm voting for him." Excuse me, come again? Here's her process: 1. Hates Trump and is just basically done with Republicans at the moment. So annoyed with Trump she's not even willing to wade through the rest of the Republican candidates. The brand is dead to her. 2. Still despises all things Clinton. 3. So, she started to listen to and read about Sanders. "Likes him". "Believes he means what he says". Willing to register as a Democrat for the first time in her life to vote for him. What? I even point out that he is a "Socialist". She shrugs her shoulders. The former curse word, "socialist", is now a shoulder shrug. Mind blown. That's it. Feel free to come at me with your "cool story, bro" responses. It was cool, completely unexpected and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this. Enjoy your day.
Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.

The (D)Ummie is leaving out a whole lot of details.Like 'mom' talking about her upcoming dinner date with JFK.And how Elvis is coming over later to autograph her purse.And how D.B. Cooper gave her a map to the money.CMD
Okay. Let me see if I've got this correct. Your mother, who is convinced her opportunities and fruits of her labor were taken from her and handed down to "moochers", has decided to vote for a man who has essentially said he will give her "opportunities and fruits of her labor" to moochers?What does your fictional spirit-guide smell like?
