Lifelong Democrat. My first vote was for Jimmy Carter. Fed up with holding my nose to vote for the Lesser of Two Evils since then. No more. I hold Bernie Sanders in the same esteem as Jimmy Carter. I've listened to Bernie on Thom Hartmann's show, Brunch With Bernie, every Friday for almost a decade so he's not an unknown to me. I was thrilled when he declared his run for President. He is exactly as he presents himself - of, by, and for the people - and he's my choice for our next President. I came here through a link posted on DailyKos when I learned that on March 15th Markos is banning any support of Bernie for no other reason than he supports Hillary. Not what I thought DailyKos was about; so glad I followed that link.
