Dems Like Leftism, Not Bernie Sanders

119. Whatever. I get weary of hits on Bernie.

Bottom line is the founders created this republic with inefficiency in mind. They knew a monarchy could go the wrong direction awfully fast, so they made a bicameral legislature, balanced that with an executive branch and held both of those in check with an independent judicial branch.

Good idea, right?

What we need is to elect people who want to govern the country instead of ideologues. People willing to sit down at the table, hash out an issue, and come up with a solution maybe we're not all thrilled about, but that we can all live with.

The prerequisite here, bean, is not getting rid of Bernie or the socialists. Or even getting rid of conservatives.

It is overturning Citizens United and getting corporate money out of our democratic process. And, it is overturning the corporate funded propaganda organs with a 21st century Fairness Doctrine that replaces what the snake Reagan pocket vetoed in 1987. Do those things, and we have a chance to take our republic back.

So am I gonna argue issues AFTER that happens and try to force things to the left? You're damned right I am, and I'm probably a bit to your left - maybe not, though. But right now we have to take back both Houses of Congress. Period.

Cuts on Bernie aren't gonna help. Just talked to a young millennial woman at work. She said that many in her generation were really jazzed by Bernie and when he was defeated in the primary, enough pulled out, along with voter suppression and Russian interference, to make Clinton lose the electoral vote. So, you know, attacking Bernie at this juncture is as bad an idea as attacking Pelosi and railing against her becoming Speaker again.

Because you know what? The election hasn't happened. We'd best not be counting any chickens before they've hatched.
