HOW DOES MARK DESAULNIER AND MICHAEL KERR COMPARE ON IMPORTANT ISSUES
SOURCES OF MARK DESAULNIER’S POSITION ON ISSUES
I used 6 different sources that should explain Mark’s opinions on these issues below. These sources include his Congressional website, Campaign website, Government website and 3 election candidate election websites.
Mark avoids talking about specific issues or taking any direct positions on any issues! Mark is a “play it safe” politician. Whenever possible, he will avoid involvement and discussing controversial corporate “no win” political issues.
To be fair Mark might contest the opinions on some issues I have assigned him. My feeling is that after nearly 6 years as a Congressperson his positions on issues should be clear and definitive, but he is vague on almost every issue!
Mark does not have the independent courage to be a Congressperson! Mark basically does not support Bernie Sanders and most all the issues Bernie campaigns on. Mark is best described as a Nancy Pelosi puppet and a neo-liberal corporate Democrat. Mark avoids Foreign and Military issues like they were a plague. Vote Smart states that Mark refused numerous requests to answer their political courage test which I completed in full.

SOURCES OF MICHAEL E. KERR’S POSITION ON ISSUES
In general, I have no problem with most of Mark DeSaulnier’s issues that he supports and voting record, except he doesn’t go far enough to justify his clain as a progressive. He is a liberal who willingly supports the corporate Democratic Party leadership on important issues! I would be a serious progressive and outspoken in the mode of Alexandria Ocassio-Cortez, the Squad and Bernie!
I support the Green Party’s extensive platform on the Issues! You will see that I support Bernie Sanders domestic policies completely, but would often go further. I would deviate from Bernie’s foreign policy as I find many of foreign policy positions mostly quite unbecoming of him. But I still believe Bernie will stand up to the Military Industrial complex better than any of the other Presidential candidates. I applaud Bernie’s increasingly stronger stance against Israel’s oppression of Palestinians which has taken great political courage.
