47. Unlike Hillary and the Republicans who simply want your money and your vote and then want you to go away and be quiet and obedient, Bernie warmly welcomes your participation, wants you to be actively involved in your democracy, seeks to build an ongoing movement for social justice, and encourages you to join the political revolution to re-democratize America. Unlike Hillary and the Republicans, Bernie is inclusive and wants to govern with you, not over you.

48. While regressive Republicans call themselves "conservative", Hillary has referred to herself as "kind of moderate and center", yet Bernie describes himself as a "proud progressive". Hillary is the most conservative Democratic candidate, similar or closer to the Republican position on various major issues, while Bernie is the most progressive candidate for president who will change this country for the better. Bernie would also be the first Jewish president and the first non-millionaire president since Harry Truman.

49. Unlike Hillary and the Republicans who lie and otherwise deceive, Bernie has common sense and is a man of his word and his word is good. If a politician is untrustworthy, dishonest, deceptive, and lies, how do you know what you are actually voting for? Bernie is well known for his honesty, authenticity, integrity, consistency, diligence, and efficiency, as well as for being kind, compassionate, principled, dedicated, trustworthy, likable, pragmatic, progressive, and a mensch. Unlike Hillary and the GOP, Bernie is the real deal and gets results.

50. With a great VP running mate such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Raul Grijalva, Rep. Barbara Lee, or Rep. Keith Ellison, who each share so many good and admirable qualities with Sen. Bernie Sanders, Bernie would be even more appealing!
