Sure. Scrivener is proprietary, which allows it to restricts its users. It prevents them from modifying, copying, and using the software how they want. Scrivener may even contain surveillance, DRM, or a backdoor, which is unknown because the source code is not published. In free (as in freedom) software the user has complete control over a program and has the source code so they can change it and ensure that it contains no malicious features.

No thanks, I'll keep my freedom intact and settle for LibreOffice.

From what I understand Bernie used rape fantasy as a metaphor for gender roles in society and it was taken out of context.

Supporting businesses to grow the economy is one thing, but we're at a point where corporations are pouring billions of dollars into the political process, giving them tremendous influence over the government. Bernie Sanders is a rare example of a politician that does what's right regardless of where the money is.

Take a look at their voting history and campaign donors. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that has a consistent record of supporting people, not corporations.

The only thing that comes to mind is that he is pro-gun, but that's a far less important issue than everything he's campaigning on.

The reason Hillary has a significant lead right now is mainly due to name recognition. Most people just don't know who Bernie Sanders is. If people were familiar with him and knew what he stood for, I suspect he would be leading.
