Opinion of the dropouts: Bernie Sanders

[Virginiá]

I've always really liked Sanders and my decision to support Hillary was more based on me not believing Sanders could win due to various factors (though to be honest, I now think he could have won, if not bigly, based on how terrible Trump's campaign is)

That being said, I'm glad he finally endorsed and this side issue is done with. He was really ticking me off with his decision to stay in well past the point of no return.

HP. He turned the party I love into an awful radical leftist party driven by anti-intellectualism.

(Yes, I voted for him...)

Would you mind elaborating on that? Because if Democrats are now driving anti-intellectualism (lol? really?), then Republicans are morphing into straight up Neanderthals with persistent head trauma.

(and no, I don't think Republicans have head trauma, but they seem to be deeply anti-education and anti-science these days and are in no way shape or form better than Democrats on this)

When you ask Sanders to defend any of his policies, he just goes back to whatever canned talking point he began with. Why should the minimum wage be $15? Because it should. His arguments are the kind Sarah Palin uses, and now he has Clinton doing the same. At least Republicans hide behind the Constitution or supply-side economics to at least provide a veneer of respectability. When is the last time you heard a Democrat stand for the Constitution on a debate stage?

Okay, besides the fact that a minimum wage figure like that is his attempt to balance out inequality for the poorest regardless of how much businesses bitch and whine (they whine about anything that takes even a penny away from their bottom line), there is justification for plenty of other policies. And why is Bernie, the loser of the Democratic primary, somehow now painting the image of the entire Democratic party? Judging by his base, Bernie is basically the leader of a large majority of Millennials. It just seems very convenient for your argument to ignore Clinton, the winner of the primary, who is a noted wonk and is very detailed in her positions.
