I understood that you were agreeing with the concepts, not necessarily each specific detail.
I think community colleges should be free to those without financial means and who have good grades in high school + are willing to do work/study (and I like the idea of it being paid-for by the high risk speculative transaction tax). For those would-be students who don't meet one or both of those criteria, it should be more affordable.
As for health care, a private health care system and a public health care system (accessible by all citizens) can co-exist, in my opinion. That's what I would like to see pursued.
I believe Hillary Clinton would be in a much less strong position going into the general against Donald Trump had Bernie and his supporters not woken her up in regards to trade agreements, wages, and higher education. Sanders should keep pushing his message and platform for as long as he damned well pleases and as long as the Democratic process allows, as far as I'm concerned.
I don't give a lick if Hillary Clinton and the DNC feel entitled and inconvenienced by Bernie Sanders. In my opinion, he's already benefitted them even more than they'll admit, and he'll help them after the convention by (at minimum) continuing to rally against what he views as the dangerous philosophies and character of Donald Trump.
