(50,254 posts)Personal insults are never appropriate here.
People in the base don't disagree with Bernie's economic ideas. Women, people of color and LGBTQ people are to the left of the party on those issues And the man is isn't going to run again, so it's not about him as a person at all. Please stop acting as if there's idolatry going on here. There isn't.
I just want to combine the best of the Sanders ideas and the HRC ideas, as the platform HRC barely mentioned in the fall campaign did.
What is so terrible about fighting for social justice AND economic justice? We already know we can't have social justice while leaving corporate control of politics and life unchallenged.
And I'm just as active in the real world as you are.
There is nothing I support(and I'm not alone in supporting anything I support)that would possibly do the sort of damage to the party that could possibly justify the personal abuse you hurl at me.
