Should Bernie heel to save the Dem party?

Last edited Mon May 23, 2016, 10:27 AM - Edit history (1)

Isn't it a little like using TARP to save Wall Street from itself?

And just how did that work out for you?

ON EDIT:

My question is really, isn't there a strong parallel between:

"We must save the Dem party at all costs (so that HRH, DWS, DNC, etc may continue business as usual),"

and

"We must save Wall Street at all costs (so that Paulson, Dimon, Blankfein, etc may continue business as usual)."

1. No. No point from what I am hearing from Bernie supporters out on the streets of Los Angeles.

How is it in the rest of the country?

Are other Bernie voters willing to settle for Hillary?

Cause the Bernie supporters I am talking to aren't talking about that kind of compromise. Not at all.

5. The only people to whom Sanders owes a thing are his donors, his family and himself.

As I donor, I want him to keep going past the primary, past the election and until his last breath, unless he and his family think he should stop for his health And then, I hope he passes the baton to someone he thinks can do at least half as well as he has been doing. If so, I will donate until I die, and then take of care it in my will.

Sea changes in U.S. politics, thanks to Senator Sanders and his supporters. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280109865

Maybe he can found the first actually liberal think tank. The ones calling themselves liberal now are actually centrist.

He is a symptom, not the disease.

9. +1. People so easily confuse cause and effect

And it's pretty clear that much of the confusion is deliberate.

Without knowing the difference, of course you can't fix something, when you can't even recognize the problem to be solved.

12. Absolutley not.

Bernie is the FUTURE of the Democratic Party (unless it implodes with Hillary as the nominee).
