I take no pleasure in posting this. After all, this was a website where we fought for democratic principles, and against those who corrupted them. That was then. This is now. Except now, only half of the Dem party can see the corruption.

I think that chart is bogus.

(68,469 posts)our auto industry as well...it was in the banker bill so he would have allowed autos to fail rather than help the banks. I look at that and say...he almost allowed autos to fail (live in Ohio) and he voted against reasonable gun control...none of the rest matters...mostly BS anyway. He could not manage our economy.

Economic justice, peace, and workers' rights matter much, much more.
Besides which, it goes without saying that Bernie would sign any gun control legislation that got through Congress.

Is this a parody? Can't be for real. Is it?

(53,743 posts)What proof is there in it that Clinton is tacking hard to the right?
I'll be glad when Skinner puts an end to this attacking of other dems and giving Trump ammunition on a site dedicated to get dems elected.

(2,471 posts)That has been one of the main promises we've had from the Sanders camp since he entered the race.
I would guess that if that were the case Sanders would except donations from those same republicans that he claims will support him.
But if Clinton does the same thing it's bad.

(50,254 posts)Bernie's entire approach is party expansion without betrayal. '92 reminds us of what people named Clinton do to win elections.
Buzz cook
(2,471 posts)And now you need to prove your premise.
All Sanders has going for him is ideological purity and a claimed personal integrity. Well he threw the second away like a cheap suit. I don't doubt that the ideology will follow.

(6,007 posts)Bernie will convince disaffected RW voters to vote for HIS ideas, and he generally gets 20-30% of Republicans to vote for him in Vermont.
Whereas, on the other hand and completely OPPOSITE, Hillary will try to convince the RW that SHE will be better on THEIR issues.
Also, Hillary gets HER donations from the 1% whereas Bernie gets $27 donoations from the rest of us. Bernie will therefore represent US, whereas Hillary has THEM as her base.
