(36,160 posts)Quit bitching about Bernie. He touts our FDR Democratic Party line to change Repubs' minds. Those who know him at all know this.
WE in our party should be able to do the rest.
Stop picking at those who support Democrats.
People here need to recognize that Bernie chose a label for a reason that is NOT anti-Democratic Party.
Bernie really does keep this country liberal where regionally, culturally stigmatized Dems cannot. When he talks hard line progressivism, the hardliners of the right admire and respect that.
He AND GILLUM keep the conservatives thinking, thinking, and gradually moving to center to get the women's vote, religious vote, labor vote and youth vote.
And don't niggle with me, a 60-year Democrat, for defending party values no matter where they come from.
