Bernie Sanders is doing exactly what he should be doing. Let's all do it [View all]
Sanders has had some powerful videos and popular pieces in the last few years calling Trump out on his lies, the GOP on their attack against Social Security and Medicare, and trickle down economics in general.
When I see one, I post it or kick and recommend the thread where someone else has posted it.
"Sanders isn't a Democrat" "Democratic politicians have been saying this too", etc., almost always follow that.
But Sanders is doing exactly what he, and every other American politician, should be doing: calling out lies and protecting the American public.
If it pains you to see something posted favorably about Sanders, then post some excellent messages from politicians you like even more! I will kick and recommend those, too, especially if they are smart in their messaging and progressive in their approach.
In fact, let's all compete to see who can post and kick up the most Trump-hostile and citizen-friendly messages we can find, from the politicians who we like the best. Politicians who make those statements and messages are on our side. I read a lot about how much better Democratic politicians are than Sanders. I'm open to it. Bring their messages here, loudly and proudly, and let's all work on getting rid of Trump and the corrupt GOP congress! But don't dump on Sanders for doing the right thing - all of us should be doing the right things, and I'm happy to have him fighting the good fight along with my party.
