(7,261 posts)Why does it always have to be that Bernie's working against the party.
Why doesn't it occur to anyone that he's trying to bring people back to the fold who aren't planning to vote for our candidate because they don't see enough in our platform to give them confidence that anything will change in their favor? They've grown up and come of age in a time when college costs have tripled and buried them in debt. Health care has been and remains a huge expense for many, with many left out. Their world is on fire, literally, and didn't get there overnight.
These and many more issues are of utmost importance to them. Bernie is suggesting ways to bring them back to the fold. He's helping us, not hurting us.
Why is that concept so disagreeable to many DUers? Have we become as close-minded as the party we all abhor?
