However, we're discussing reactions to a statement, not facts. We could actually have a productive discussion about recent and future Democratic policies and the degree to which working class people benefit. The question of whether Democrats are the party of the 1 percent is arguable, although I wouldn't put it that way. Some policies supported by Democrats have benefited the 1 percent, wouldn't you agree? Reagan tax cuts, various defense expenditures, quantitative easing, etc. Other policies have benefited working people, and on balance, I support Democrats. Thus, I am posting on a Democratic board, volunteer for Democrats, vote for Democrats, etc.

At the same time, I can see why some are critical of Sanders' statement. But the level of vitriol and meltdown over it is way over the top in my opinion - ill-timed and divisive venting, with no real analysis and lots of drive by one liners like yours. This does nothing to address a clear and present threat to democracy in the White House or to prepare for a critically important midterm election. I need to spend less time here myself because we have a chance to turn Wisconsin blue again.

Sorry Bernie until you become a real Democrat your words mean jack shite kimbutgar Jul 2018 #1

jack shite to some; to other Democrats, like me, he is very welcome to comment. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #2

I voted for Bernie in the primary kimbutgar Jul 2018 #6

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm still good with Bernie. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #26

What Party. He hasn't served the Dem Party anything but division Wwcd Jul 2018 #37

+1 kimbutgar Jul 2018 #42

He is a role model for every lefty independent out there with gripes about the party but won't join. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #53

Sounds kinda self-defeating. OilemFirchen Jul 2018 #64

I'm not sure he pushes people to join the party, and they probably wont aikoaiko Jul 2018 #68

So that is a yes Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #77

Again, depending on what you're talking about, it might not be an attack in my eyes. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #86

Might not be an attack in your eyes? Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #102

I think reasonable people can disagree on what is an attack and what is criticism aikoaiko Jul 2018 #133

Think some are trying to have it both ways Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #142

It's clearly his comment about Dems being for "the 1%" that is an attack. bettyellen Jul 2018 #132
