(14,948 posts)And I don't care what Bernie does or does not agree with. I care about my own take on the issues. That's called freedom of speech, political freedom and being a responsible citizen of a representative democracy (republic). All I'm pointing out is the futility of trashing Bernie instead of focusing on getting the traitor Trump and his cronies out of office and taking back seats at the local, state and national level.
You can dislike Bernie all you want. That's fine. But the overarching goal is to win back seats and get the political strength to promote policies of social and economic justice.
I mean, to me the analogy is that we are like a bunch of people flying in a jumbo jet. The passengers start a fight with each other and the pilots are so distracted from flying the plane that the whole thing crashes. All I'm saying is that instead of fighting each other so we crash, we need to work together. If Bernie is out there turning red states purple or even blue, then more power to him. Let's you and I do the same in our respective worlds.
