In reply to the discussion: Supporting the values of the Sanders movement is not "refighting the primaries". [View all]CitizenZero
(505 posts)That is kind of a silly hypothetical. Sanders is an Independent U.S. Senator who caucuses with the Democratic Party. Comparing him with Bannon is ridiculous.
Sanders did not just walk into the Democratic Primaries. He went through the legitimate procedures to get on the ballot and run a campaign in all the states. Part of his agenda was making the system more grassroots and democratic. I think the Party is healthier the more democratic it is. Hillary's campaign was more top down than grassroots, in my opinion.
So, Sanders is not some right wing nut, he is a Progressive Senator. I still believe that trying to exclude someone like him from the primary is anti-democratic, and ultimately not good for the Party. That is just my opinion. Yours may vary.
