Good lord WHAT?

Neither of us want the guy to run. I was simply talking about a way to make sure he didn't-a way that wouldn't do any harm.

What is so terrible about acknowledging that the way to do that is for the party to admit that parts of his message are valid, naturally dovetail to our traditions, and should be part of where we go from here?

We can't stop him from running by denouncing everything the guy's about and making the party a Bernista-free zone.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
