I want to be able to fully support Bernie Sanders and still be considered part of the Democratic Party...not a "fringe" part as they called us in 2003. A real part of it.

I want to be able to post the harm done by the education reform policies the last few years...and yet still be considered a good Democrat.

We have always talked about the Democratic Party as having a "big tent" policy. Now we need to see that in action.

3. Let me tell you my opinion.

A good Democrat will post about harm done by the education reform policies the last few years. A good Democrat can support Bernie Sanders as he has supported Democrats all these years. I think when we see that BS about the Democratic party being a big tent it no longer means what it used to mean. Now it seems to mean that some Democrats need to get the fuck out of the tent because we don't sit in the center.

People can call me the fringe, the radical left, a Democrat hating on Democrats or whatever they want, their opinion is nothing to me. I support Bernie
