Please respond however you wish
I didn't put this article up so I can hear everyone agreeing with me. I'd love to discuss. But basically my stance is that the problem with the party is not an issue with "a few bad apples." It's what the party has become.

Sanders supporters should reject Sanders if he endorses her. She's a revolutionary, for sure. Are we?

Which is why I put it up for a discussion on discussion forum -on what used to be a discussion forum, I guess.

The rule on DU is that you can excerpt / quote a total of four paragraphs from your piece. Have a link up so people can go read the rest. It can get a little wobbly because a lot of sources have piss-poor editing, letting stray sentences float where a paragraph should be... but whatever.

I'd suggest reposting it within those parameters. They'll probably still try to hide, simply because that's what htey do. But there's a difference between "try" and "succeed"

Although I think it would have got a hide anyway, seeing jury results (It was more about not being "appropriate" than not sticking to the rules...)

It was a very interesting read, and while I don't think that's the revolution Bernie has called for, that may be the revolution we get if the Party continues down its current path.

And as for Bernie's political revolution...There are many things to be grateful for what he has done, and one of those things is revealing the party for what they really are -for what they have become. Bernie has opened up something for us, and I hope more people realize it.
