It is a mounting problem for Hillary Clinton that people who do their research will encounter a lot to like about Bernie Sanders. They find out facts. Facts like she didn't even read the full intelligence report before voting to give Bush the authority to start a war of aggression. Sanders did.

If you don’t support Bernie Sanders and you can bring yourself to watch these videos, you might not end up believing in Bernie Sanders, but you sure as hell will end up knowing he believes in you.

Not an anti-Hillary video (just in case you expected it to be)

They’re going to smear him big time. They’ll say the first Jewish man to win a primary is bad for Israel. They’ll say a guy who predicted the problems with banks, and fought the deregulation that created it, they’ll say he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Fortunately we live in an age where people have access to the Internet. When folks do their research… well… they tend to #FeelTheBern.

I believe the choice to be one between a transformative vision and an incrementalist approach. Maybe you have good health insurance. Maybe you have a good job and a good home. Maybe you live in a safe neighbourhood with good drinking water. Maybe you are happy with things as they are, and are not concerned that the 1% have their political influence and believe in your heart that Hillary is untainted by it.

Amid a disastrous economic situation, the banks we bailed out — because they were too big to fail — are now 30% bigger than before the crash. Amid disastrous free trade and tax policies, where the richest pay a lower tax rate than the workers whose productivity they profit from, corporations create record profits whilst paying starvation wages — at home and abroad — and hide wealth in tax havens. Amid a difficult economic climate, the top 1% benefit almost exclusively from any economic growth whilst the vast majority are left to get by on wages that barely keep up with inflation.

Meanwhile 47 million people live in poverty. 10s of millions without health insurance. 10s of millions more too afraid of the cost of healthcare to visit a doctor. Millions (including those with health insurance) have gone bankrupt and died due to healthcare costs or lack of access to basic preventative healthcare (their voices are not heard anymore, they will never vote). Millions getting a substandard education, severely limiting their potential. Millions enduring crumbling infrastructure. 10s of millions incarcerated for minor offenses (many of whom won’t be allowed to vote), or targeted by a mismanaged police state (those they kill don’t get to vote). Millions who opposed the Iraq war and its heartbreaking (and also expensive) consequences (those killed in it will never vote).

It’s all those people struggling to keep their head above water that Bernie Sanders fights for, those are the ones he inspires.

If you made it this far and are voting Hillary, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering Bernie Sanders. I hope you will fight for him like you would for Hillary, should he win the nomination. He will fight for you.

Thank you for reading.
