No, the Democratic Party isnt divided or in disarray

62. Sanders has the support of many Democrats including myself. I understand that he maintains his

independent status and that issues arise from that. IMO he is a positive force fighting for issues that matter to me. If he were allowed run as a Democrat i would likely vote for him again.

Most if us are not sycophants.i like the Clintons and President Obama and I voted for them all. That doesn't preclude me from being critical of them or the party.

I won't devolve this into a laundry list of negatives but I have issues with all politicians and the party and don't blindly follow and worship the ground that they walk on. President Obama is a remarkable man. His presidency was transformational. I really admire and like the Obama's on a personal level. However I had some issues with some his policies. I'll start with Arne Duncan and his crappy public education policies that could have come straight out of a republican think tank.
This race to the top was terrible. States competed for dollars in what essentially was a lottery by agreeing to drop limits or moratoriumd on charter schools and had to adopt this blame/penalize teacher policy with merit pay etc. That issue alone would be enough to make me vote for another candidate. I also disagreed with some his fiscal management. He opted not to allow the Bush tax cuts to sunset back in 2010 . IMO this was more then just a pragmatic necessary evil, it was buying political capital at great cost. I think that fight for the ACA had sucked all the oxygen from the room.
It gave into the narrative that tax cuts (while you are bleeding money) are beneficial.


While the issue of how you calculate how much a President added to the national debt is complicated, https://www.thebalance.com/national-debt-under-obama-3306293, it went up nearly $10 trillion under his watch. The massive national debt that unfortunately doubled during his presidency is going to be the justification the GOP uses to gut spending on social programs. Starve the Beast
