266. no, a smear implies inaccuracies. And unless you have some proof of lies, I'd stay away from

that kind of language. He is on message and recognizes that the Republicans are long gone, but that the Dems are who we are looking to step up and do the things that need to be done, but that they have too often not stepped up. He is recognizing dems in these races who he thinks have stepped up on those fronts(or more fairly, who he thinks indicate that they will step up), and should thus be supported.

No, I really have no idea what you're talking about regarding incrementalism, but I suspect that your own impression of about-facism here has more to do with a mangling of what Sanders and we mean by incrementalism when we are frustrated by it, which again, is not about what we can get done when we come to the table with Republicans, but about what we should be able to get done and to promote as democrats...as a party united on these issues who want to actually have something to pressure the GOP with so that they have some incentive to compromise.

That is hardly an attempt to suppress the vote, nor does it even come close to presenting an impression of both parties being the same. Please admit that. Then you can say he's still doing harm, and I can disagree with you, but at least admit that he isn't doing what you clearly have no proof of him doing.

I also don't know what your referring to at the beginning. If Our Revolution was born out of the Sanders run it still doesn't mean that Sanders is unilaterally going to change the Democratic party. It doesn't mean he can alone fix anything. It means that there are a lot of people who agree with him who are going to fight for those things. It means there are a great many democrats who want to fight for those things.
