Stunning polls show Sanders soaring while 'TrumpCare' crashes

162. Over the course of the longer term, Dems HAVE been weak.

Sure, there have been some exceptional times like this recent AHCA thing, but Dems are pretty well known for being notoriously bad for coming together and standing firm on things, and are willing to compromise on practically anything. There's nothing wrong at all for being proud of the party when it does something right, but the party seems to usually need to grow a backbone and it's incredibly frustrating to keep losing more and more every year because Republicans never give up and Democrats have been wishy washy out of fear of making the Republicans upset.

People in this country tend to like strength and like to *see* strength, so it would be a really good thing if Dems kept up on other things like today with the AHCA. We need MORE...much more of that sort of thing.

I'm not trying to bash the party, but it's something that has been incredibly frustrating to me for years, and Bernie speaks to people who have similar feelings and gives us a bit of hope that things can be different. (And yes, there are some other Democrats and Democratic allies doing it too, so it's more of a party-as-a-whole...perception thing.)
