I think of all the criticisms of Bernie in this thread, this is the most valid understandable one for me. (Not based on some red-flag words like "Socialism"  )

Maybe I'm just a naive optimist, but I think he can get things done  Honestly, the anti-Hillary propaganda from the Right (and the left) is raining down hard on Hillary. I can't foresee her having that much more ease with negotiating with Congress compared to lets say Obama, with which most everything he did in 8 years was seen as highly controversial, even when most of it was actually pretty effective on some level  Hillary will have great policies and what not, but with the media circus frenzy talking about "She killed those people in Benghazi, E-MAILS! STAYED WITH HER CHEATING RAPIST HUSBAND/ENABLED HIM!" all working against her... I think it could even be WORSE than Obama. I mean what did they have on him? Other than the most baseless "He's black" blatant racism, and "He's not from America!" bull **** and "He's never been a soldier!" irrelevant point, not much yet he is still hated to THIS DAY as if he is the spawn of Satan and everything he does is bad. Most people that I ask about what Obama has done in his presidency honestly dont even know, or they have been told flat-out lies - like that he has "more executive orders than any president", etc. because of the media heavily working against him - to the aid of Republicans and ill-informed independents whose only idea of what Obama actually did in office was "Obamacare, and the media and the republicans say say its sucks, so it must be true!"

I got a little off topic, but my point was that because the Republicans previously (its changing a bit) saw Bernie as just an "old socialist with no chance" and underestimated the power of social media and his generally inspirational, but practical approach. I'd say there is less backlash to him. Both him and Hillary actually have pretty good bi-partisan history on many topics. In fact, before Benghazi and Hillary's Presidential Run, she was INCREDIBLY well respected by most people, and Bernie's been around and made friends and allies in many places for a long time. That's why I like him more  

I honestly was very pro-Hillary at the beginning of the race and was hoping she'd run for President since well before she announced. If i were old enough to vote at the time, I probably would've voted for her in 2008 as well. But shes kind of revealed a very "yes-man" opportunistic side this run, which I think has painted her in a bad light. At the beginning of all this last year, it was easy to "prefer Bernie" but recognize that Hillary had a much better chance of winning, but now the lines have been blurred a bit. I'm not sure who I'm voting for with 100% certainty yet  

On the other hand, the democrats dont currently have the numbers in the House (but they kind of almost do in the Senate...) to place such a disgusting gridlock on things just because they might hate the President, where as with Obama, this happened often and stifled progress and legislation  The Republicans to me seem much more polar far right than the average Democrat in terms of voting. I see there being more debate and discussion and moderate voting from the left,, where as basically unanimous or barely not unanimous votes from the right on heavy politicized issues (like Obama care, etc) can easily occur  

So there's that  

i see your point. at the end of the day i'll vote for whoever is the nominee in the general election because id rather have a democrat in office than a republican tbh, but with with bernie i am afraid of it being similar to obama with republicans shutting him down all the time.i feel with hilary even tho they might not like her, shes not so far left that compromise would seem more likely. if that makes sense.
