The next time you are thinking about praising Bernie Sanders....

20. I've identified as Democratic since I was 12

when Nixon and Kennedy duked it out in 1960. When I think of the Democratic platform, I think FDR and Kennedy. It was almost unrecognizable to me after Bill Clinton moved us so far to the right so as to make people like him, like a slavish dog. Something he did NOT have to do. And BELIEVE ME, I defended Bill to everyone. My co-workers said all that was left of his support was me and Buddy the dog.

That said. Bernie is not a "new" Democrat that is in the pockets of lobbyists and corporations OR big fat cat donors like the GOP's Sheldon Adleson, or the Koch's, Bradley's, or whomever is trying to govern without running for election. He's a traditional Democrat like Kennedy and FDR. AND he's showing us, the DEMS, that we don't have to be like the Repukes and sell our souls for votes. We don't have to move right anymore. We need to move BACK LEFT where we used to be! It's what people crave. Before Bernie, we were to the RIGHT of NIXON ffs.

Bash and flame me if you like, but this is the truth and Bernie is serving a purpose that he could not if he identified as Democratic right now. He answers to no one and can do things his way, which he could not do if he had to placate the right of center of the Democratic Party.

End of rant. Edited to add: I sent CA$H to Ossoff, anyone else?
