(872 posts)Bernie ran for the Democratic Party nomination in 2016 right? In fact, I voted for him in Florida's primary. I welcome some of his criticism of the D who are trying to be R-lite. He energized many people and he pushed the party to be a lil more leftist. He did not create the fears of the middle class white male 45-54 voters. It was Drumpf who played into their fears and Fux news that helped damage the image of Hillary. That and Comey's reopening of the investigation 11 days before the electorate. Bernie has been challenging the status quo and has forced our party to look at Liberalism as something that is honorable. If he has made mistakes and said offensive shit that happens, but to say he should disappear is pretty lousy. The refuse to ask him to vote with our party if you want to be so purist.
