No, I’m talking about the people who basically say Clinton is a Republican. I have problems with Bernie but I don’t think he’s a Republican even though he’s too chicken to call out the NRA.

He’s supported the assault weapons ban. Gets a D- from the NRA - no, it’s not an F, but it’s not exactly high praise either.

Do I agree with him on everything? No. He supports drone strikes. I don’t. Obama and Clinton support them too. I still don’t. I take issue with some guy sitting in Nevada remotely blowing up buildings that may or may not have innocent people in them on the other side of the planet. People talk about jobs they could never do? That’s one for me. Are drone strikes better when a Democratic president orders them? I think we worry too much about labels in this country.
