Recovering conservative now Sanders convert

Here is the story. I engage with some good friends on social media debating political issues. Some of these friends are liberal and some are conservative. A couple of my liberal friends challenged me to do two things. 1. Examine the influence of money in politics. I took a deep dive on that issue and came face to face with the reality that our system is broken. 2. They challenged me to listen closely to a couple of Sanders talks. I listened to one he did at the Brookings Institute and I listened to a speech he gave at Georgetown. I was fully prepared to poke holes in his positions and to not agree with much of what he said. He is a "Socialist" after all. What happened is that I found myself agreeing with him. It was just logic and common sense. I tried to not just react but I started to see everything differently. I spent 30 days going through this transition. At the end of the 30 days I realized I was fearful of what people would think. At that point I came out of the closet and took a ton of heat from my conservative friends and family. My faith has been questioned. My sanity has been questioned. My motives have been questioned. All this has done is steel my resolve.

On the other side of the coin I probably would not have looked at Sanders had the Republicans put up someone sensible. Trump drove me away and Cruz is a phony and very very very dangerous. He has some extreme religious views that border on heretical. Another eye opener to me was that conservatives do not seem to care that these guys are both terrible for this country. They are pro life don't you know.

So now I am excited. I am in a movement I believe in. I am hopeful. I am talking with my friends who lean right and getting them to truly look at Sanders. I find myself rooting for Democrats in NY and other states that have not voted to see the light and join the revolution. I am a late comer but ready to do whatever I can to promote democracy, freedom, integrity, and honor to our country. Sanders is the only one in this race that has the intelligence, character, and solutions that can lead this effort.

I'm not buying it either, but it is instant (non-provable) cred at the DUmp.

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

2. Welcome!

I'm pretty new to this forum, but not Bernie Sanders, and I have to say I just love your post.

It's the post of someone who did thinking and listening and improved - in my opinion - your political opinions and it's outstanding!

Yes, All hail  :bow2: the confirmation of a predetermined and approved outcome.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

It was just logic and common sense.

Yes!! For sure!  Just forget that socialism fails and fails yuuuuge every time it is tried.

Head on down to VZ and ask them how the socialism is working.

What is it about doing the same thing and expecting a different result?

Wow! Missed this tidbit in the morass:

... Cruz is a phony and very very very dangerous. He has some extreme religious views that border on heretical.

Well, depending on the OP's background, if any, in Christianity ...

If the dude(tte) is Catholic, all Protestants are to one degree or another, heretical, and Ted Cruz is a heretic ... as am I. If that's his background, his statement doesn't really mean much.

OTOH, if the dude(tte) is not Catholic, (s)he seems unaware that, however much (s)he disapproves of Cruz' beliefs, his beliefs are well within the Evangelical Protestant mainstream.

This being a DU member, I suspect (s)he has very little Christian background, or is a liberal-mainline Protestant who neither realizes that those groups are the ones that have left Christianity nor that those groups have been in the process of dying for several decades.

The berni bots are spinning the bouncies and they just aren't any good at it.  They see themselves going down into defeat.

There was even one in a letter to our local liberal rag this morning!  I'll see if I can't find an online version of it.

I found it. I wonder what this dummie's handle is?
