365. Bernie is basically saying "there's no difference between the parties" and that's WRONG!!

That catering to the 1% is BS, again so obvious as to why this is happening.

Bernie is basically saying "there's no difference between the parties" and that's WRONG!!

We don't accept those kinds of attacks and smears from Ann Coulter or Dick Cheney, right? Loyal Democrats would fight back if the same disgusting lie was uttered by Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, right?

So why is it that when Bernie Sanders attacks the Democratic party with that lie, so many of his supporters rush to defend him? Why is it okay for Bernie to tell disgusting lies about the Democratic party, but people would have-a-cow if Ann Coulter said it?

He has always said he is NOT a Democrat.

Along with his lies about how "corrupt" and "feeble" and "ideologically bankrupt" the Democratic party is, the fact that he also refuses to declare loyalty to the party is NOT a very good argument for getting others to support Democrats.

There are many who boast about being an "Independent" or "non-affiliated" voter (I think they want others to believe they're smarter, too) yet, when it comes time to select the party's nominee, these NON-DEMOCRATS will scream bloody murder because they aren't allowed to participate in PARTY business.

They don't want to be actual members of the Democratic party because it suits their vanities of being "non-affiliated". Even though it's so EASY to declare one's self as being a Democrat when registering, they won't do it. In the end, they put in MORE EFFORT to complain about being "disenfranchised" (total nonsense, BTW) from party business. They'll go on for hours and days about how "unfair" it is that only Democrats get to pick the party's nominee... when it would have taken a mere 1/2 second to check the little box that says "Democrat" on their voter registration.

I guess that's the price of pride and vanity... and showing the world that they're not as smart as they originally wanted us to believe.

Anyway, here's the thing... Bernie's actions (and his damned lies) do absolutely NOTHING to encourage others to join the Democratic party, or to support the Democratic party, or to vote for Democratic candidates, or to volunteer for the Democratic party, or to contribute to the party and Democratic candidates.

His "both parties are the same" rhetoric (similar to Sarandon's lies) end up driving voters to support Stein or Nader... and that ALWAYS benefits the GOP (and by extension, it benefits RUSSIA!!)
