In reply to the discussion: I'm curious: What is your end game with Bernie? [View all]FlaGranny
(8,361 posts)52% of the voting public "fringe" that is your problem. Bernie's values are that of FDR Democrats. Perhaps they are "fringe" when compared to the new Democratic party (which bears little resemblance to the party of FDR's time), but they are NOT fringe with the United States of America's voters, and actually Clinton voters, even though I wouldn't call them fringe, are more out of step with the majority of all voters.
Obama (I voted for him twice and contributed more money than I could afford to his campaign) is definitely our compromiser-in-chief, who started negotiations from center right and disappointed the hell out of me multiple times. That is not to diminish any of his other good accomplishments. Bernie supporters will not give up, if that is what you want. We will not. When and if, Hillary gets the nomination, Hillary better be willing to compromise because at that time Bernie and his supporters will be willing to compromise. We want to be HEARD and we damn well deserve to be heard.
Again, please stop your insults.
