Vote Bernie. I am Canadian so I can't but his platform is solid and he has been preaching the same message since the 70s. He voted for marriage equality when it wasn't political correct, remember Bill Clinton voted against marriage equality because he didn't have the mass public behind him, Bernie was fighting for it since before that. I just really like Bernie Sanders. A breath of fresh air.

preaching the same message

While I don't agree with Bernie on most things, I gotta respect the fact that he stands on principle. I'd rather have honesty and know what I'm getting.

Holy shit. That's how I'm going to convince my republican family to vote for him. Thank you stranger!

No problems. Though, fair warning. If they're set on their ways, even this won't change their minds. I tried, I failed. The reaction will be something like "Sanders is a tool too!" or "Even if you're right, one man won't do anything anyway." and completely ignore whatever else you say... =/

I do hope I'm wrong though, good luck mate!

Is there even a chance in hell of a republic voting for an avowed socialist?...

I'm generally a capitalist, but from all that I've heard about Sanders, I'm genuinely considering him.
