I ask all DUers to shun people away from our party, Why would any DUer vote for a crazy man

No, that’s not a factor at all. In -------, people understand exactly what I mean by the word. They don’t believe that democratic socialism is akin to North Korea communism. They understand that when I talk about democratic socialism, what I’m saying is that I do not want to see the United States significantly dominated by a handful of billionaire families controlling the economic and political life of the country. That I do believe that in a democratic, civilized society, all people are entitled to health care as a right, all people are entitled to quality education as a right, all people are entitled to decent jobs and a decent income, and that we need a government which represents ordinary Americans and not just the wealthy and the powerful.


I left out the state so I wouldn't give away who said this.




We need more people like Hillary and Obama

Vague allusions rarely work well. Not all DUers are keyed in to the reference or other discussions. It's simpler, in my point of view, to simply make a clear comment for discussion. Thanks.

I find that if someone feels the need to tell everyone what a great "American" they are.... they usually aren't.

If Sanders runs but not as a Democrat, I will not vote for him.
