I'm for a Democrat. Probably not Bernie. Bernie is OK but he's not really a progressive. Also a very divisive leader. I'll definitely vote for whomever wins the Democratic Party's nomination. Bernie sunk his bid for the nomination in Mississippi yesterday.
Your standards are too low. Water heaters?
But he's loud and passionate.

You're the one yelling and stomping your feet.
You go vote for a Democrat and then wonder why nothing changes.

so, "Give me Bernie or I'll give you Trump"
You'd vote for Republicans?
Bernie is passionate but he doesn't work well with others. He needs to learn how to cooperate in order to get larger tasks done. Sounds like something the second grade teacher would have said.

False logic. The Democrats have no right to expect votes. They need to do it the old fashioned way, by earning them.

You're the one who keeps mixing Republicans up with Progressives.
Have you been checked for Alzheimer's?

Here we go again.
Progressives support progress. We do need to define progress.
A Senator is a powerful person in the US government. After twelve years, I'd expect more than the installation of a few water heaters before calling Bernie a progressive. If he had been a principal at my local grade school, getting a solar water heater funded and installed would be impressive. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he did it. But that's it. Not progressive.
He does make a lot of noise. You call that progressive, I guess. I call it
Sturm und Drang.

You no longer have the right to discuss logic. Sorry.

Why?
Sanders hasn't made progress in the twelve years he's had as Senator. He's an independent, working practically by himself and because ot that, all he's managed to accomplish is installation of a few water heaters on some federal buildings. Some point out that he got a post office renamed. He's an outsider who is best known for complaining and carping on the sidelines. He's a very divisive leader who hasn't gotten anything done.
Passionate about his carping, though.
