Mahalo for this from the WaPo, Goth..

Unfortunately, Sanders’s usual answer to such questions is unsatisfying, to say the least. He argues that we need a popular revolution so overwhelming that even Republican legislators will bow down before its power and vote for things they abhor with every fiber of their beings, such as single-payer health care.

That's Not all we learned..

And, this..

Bernie: ‘My Opponents’ Want Black, White, Gay, Latino or Women Candidates ‘Regardless of What They Stand For’

After the 2016 election, Sanders hit a similar theme when he told a crowd of supporters “It’s not good enough for somebody to say ‘hey I’m a Latina vote for me’ that is not good enough,” and went on to add “It is not good enough for somebody to say, ‘I’m a woman, vote for me.'”

And, more Inclusive.. Way less Divisive..

especially with Nina-jillstein voter-as his co-chair.. who doesn't know the difference between hard working Democrats fighting on the front lines for our very Lives, and Fascists for trump.

BS Will Be Vetted.

Sorry, I haven't made myself clear to you, Alex..

Divisive..
