In reply to the discussion: And Another Thing !!! - The Next Time I Hear That We Are Not To Criticize Or Work Against Democrats. [View all]tularetom
(23,664 posts)134. After 7 years of wussitude, Obama decides to take the gloves off and fight
And when he does, its for this piece of shit that delivers the biggest FU that the American middle class has ever received.
I don't hate the man, but to say I'm disappointed in him is putting it mildly.
Like you, I'm not going to vote for another corporate Dem. I'll be voting for and supporting Sen Sanders as long as he is in the race. If it should happen that for whatever reason he's no longer in the race, well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I will promise this; I will never cast a vote against any Democratic candidate in a presidential general election.

That's true, which is why in the last two mid terms voters did NOT come out for Third Way/DLC

That is what Sanders is doing. He knows she will likely win but he is pushing her to the left.

Again, Sanders did not say he knows he can't win. He said something very different.
